    Has anyone ever been here? Is there any chance they have some fun stuff if I pop in while in that area tomorrow?

    Thanks!

    I'm a fan. Guy who runs it can be a bit gruff on the phone but very nice in person. Always some great stuff there.

    Yeah, I want to pile on the praise. Really solid store, friendly staff and selection, and the Beer Menus site is always up to date.

    They do a thorough job with their Beermenus, but its usually once a week or so. I would definitely call if I were heading there for something specific.

    I'll endorse it as well, solid little shop. Not the cheapest prices around, but it's convenient for me and the owners are nice. Bonus points: it's near the Blind Tiger, so I usually stop in there for a pint first.

    Good selection with lots of new releases. Sometimes they get random beers before anyone else. At times the staff didn't seem super knowledgeable but they've always been really nice. Def worth a run through. Might as well go to blind tiger since it's a few blocks away.

    I've been to Blind Tiger many times and always enjoy myself. Going to dinner at Aquagrill and was thinking of hitting Carmine's up on the way home.

    I'll echo what everyone says - it's a great store. One thing to note though, which really applies anywhere, but make sure you check dates when buying IPAs. I've seen some really old stuff there.
