A real gem within the shops and homes of Chagrin Falls. Great selection of single beers as well as wine, glassware, cheeses and specialty items. Service is fantastic and employees are always willing to help with your selection. Ask to see the additional selection of beers in the back of their walk-in cooler.

A nice surprise I was shown on a visit to family in the area. Nice ambiance for a beer store. Staff were beyond friendly. They had mistakenly put the wrong price beneath a 6 pack and gave me the price which was two dollars cheaper. Nice selection of imports and micros from the area. A good place to pick up some beer, I can’t ask for much more.

Decided to head out that way and check it out. Lots of imports, guezes, lambics, that sort of thing and a few things that you really can’t find many other places (Brewdog, for instance). Tiny, cramped little place that teaches you how to dance, thats for sure! Excellent selection of hard-to-find 22oz, but regrettably not willing to break up six packs and the singles rack was overwhelmingly dusty macros. Though if you are looking for something and the Other Store doesn’t have it, consider calling these guys. Between the two, I think you could find anything you’d want that is distributed in OH.

Great beer store with excellent staff. I have found a few beers here that I couldn’t find down in Dayton. They are a decent source of scarce/rare beers that they seem to get in from time to time. I’ll definitely be back in here next time I’m in town.

Nice place with lots of beer... and wine! Nice and ever changing selection of locals and out of state micros and imports. If you don’t see it ask, they may have it, just not out on the floor! If they don’t have it, ask, they will probably get it for you! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, despite what Corey says! My only complaint is like everyone else’s. The beer is spread out all over the store in various spots, but definitely worth while to stop in to see what they’ve got.

Been there a few times now. Wonderful store, great and cheerful service. Selection is really nice though kind of spread out. They seem to have plenty of events and are plenty knowledgeable. Prices are better than what I have found elsewhere. This has become my new place to buy beer.

Tucked away in Chagrin Falls, a town itself seemingly tucked away, and miles from any major city. I missed it initially and then probably broke every Chagrin Falls traffic law while doubling back. Nice service and very personable, if initially a little parent-ish. The beer is spread out across about three different sections of the store, and each section is broken up into a specific style. There is a decent, high-end selection of singles, mainly focusing on foreign stuff: Belgians (some lambics and saisons), some Germans (nice amount of smoked, with several varieties from schlerekna), a nice amount of American micros, and a little swill. I remember a lot of De Dolle, Traquair, Rochefort, and Hanssens. There is an extensive selection of six packs that cover a lot of basic micros, most of which are in the coolers (the door to which I completely missed in haste as it’s off to the side), and a lot of macros. There is a little place to get food over in the corner. Pretty decent prices comp

This was a lucky find. The owner brought out a few beers to taste and was interesting to talk to. It took me forever in the store because beer is spread all over the place. He also had some more beers somewhere else that he brought out. Great store.

This has become my main source of new purchases now that I am settled in. Being only a few miles away and close to the grocery store it is easy to fabricate an excuse to visit. The selection here covers almost everything that you can get in the state. Finding it can be tricky as the bottles are spread all over the store (my only real complaint). Most of it though is in two areas. The first are the shelves and coolers which contain the regular stable of beers (Southern Tier six packs, lambics, Belgians, etc). The rest are hidden in the walk in cooler. Here you will find stuff like Olfabrikken Abbey Ale, Mikkeler Black Hole and Big Worse, the whole Alesmith lineup and plenty more. If you time it right there are monthly tastings as well. For $5 you get to try a nice selection and then walk out with the bottles in hand. Also be sure to check out the cheese selection.

First time at Chucks- heard it was a top place to shop. Overall it was a good experience. Confusing layout reminded me of somebody’s basement- everything was mixed up together in different parts spread throughout the store. 6pk/4pk selection was decent. They had limited selection of 12oz singles- the ones they had on the wall looked average, and dusty. There were some nice beers I hadn’t seen before and interesting imports. They had a lot of regional craft bombers.

The staff was nice and helped me around the store, suggested a few beers, and took me to the back cooler. If they’d organize their stock better and also use 2-3 of the cooler doors for 12oz singles that would definitely help.
