    Whats a good shop in Bloomington (IN) to pick up a mix-match? I'm going up to visit my brother today and don't wanna hop around all over the place looking through their dozens of different shops. haha
    Some of you lovely BA bro's help me save some time/trouble? :slight_smile:

    There are no retail package sales here on Sunday. The best you can do is to go by Upland and get 6ers or growler fills or growlers at Bloomington Brewing Co. Good luck!

    Go to Sahara Mart on E. 3rd Street and Big Red downtown (418 N. College.) I would check dates at the Sahara Mart, as many bottles have settled and raised a family on their shelves. I think Big Red has a better turnover on mix-n-match goodies.

    As the poster above said, the Sahara Mart on 3rd street (by college mall) has the best beer selection around town. The main big red at 8th and College as the largest overall liquor/wine/beer selection. Most people don't go to Sahara Mart for Beer. If you are going to eat, Yogi's has the best beer selection by far of any restaurant and bar.

    Shout out to all Hoosiers on BA.

    I meant the average person in bloomington doesn't know about the much better beer selection available at sahara mart than big red.

    Just hit up a Sahara, not the one on 3rd st. though, and I was like a kid in a candy shop. haha So much better selection than what I'm used to back 2 hours away. Although I do have Founders RIS and BS still on the shelves back there, didn't see any there, but a lot of good stuff none the less.
    Can't wait to hit up the other shops and to have regular access to these places.

    I've got a list of brews I want to try, but I'm open to any suggestions that are particularly good this year?
