RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
A small-to-medium liquor store with a heavy emphasis on fine wines but a surprisingly good beer selection as well, with particular strengths in E. European lagers and porters, Wisconsin micros, and a fair number of the better-known Belgians, English and German brands. Selection is obviously well-chosen; there are several knowledgeable staff members amongst the Miller drinkers, so don't hesitate to ask.

I find this to be a good place for a lot of the beers I like. It doesn’t have everything but still a fairly good selection and the prices are reasonable. Most of the beers I have rated came from either Woodmans or here. I usually visit it once every other week.

liquors are really expensive. beers are pretty variable, but you can get the good ones a little on the cheap side. doubt they care for the beer well, of course. only downside here is it’s illinois, so you get no New Glarus. take the short drive to woodman’s for the NG, it’s worth it.

Looked like they had some pretty good liquors and t good prices. The beer selection was decent. Somewhat of a motley selection. They had Rochefort 10 and 8 and they were cheap. 90 minute IPA, GI Matilda were some of the highlights. Worth checking out if you’re in the area.

I can’t say I was terribly impressed, but to be fair, this is more of a wine place than beer place. Some have commented on their Wisconsin micro selection, and I’m not sure why. Even though this place is literally a few hundred feet from the state line, Wisconsin micro selection is limited by the fact that many Wisconsin breweries are not licensed for distribution in Illinois. If you’re satisfied with Sand Creek, Leinenkugels and Point, this is your place. If you prefer a more broad selection of Southern Wisconsin micros you’re better off driving an extra 5 miles to the Beloit Woodman’s. Yes there were a few decent Euros, a handful of decent Belgians, but the selection is so random that if you’re not already familiar with their selection, you shouldn’t really go to Everett’s counting on them to stock whatever it is you’re looking for. Probably the best you’re going to find in a relatively non beer-savvy area, and it might be worth a stop if you happen to be driving down Illinois 75, but in my opinion not even worth the 2-mile side trip off the interstate.

They didn't have much in the way of Belgians, if any. Their stock of good beer was mainly English. I couldn't find anything is the area comperable, however.

Well, This place changed owners or something. I went up there about a year ago and they didn't have anything that muzzlehatch said they did. Its pretty bogus now.

Chimay, Duvel, Corsendonk, Orval, Aventinus, Weltenburg-Kloster, JW Lees. Not names to set the most experienced beerhunters’ hearts aflutter, but quite uncommon in backwater places like Beloit, WI and sister South Beloit, IL. This small, friendly store has a large selection of E European lagers & porters, bespeaking the heritage of the area, and a very good collection of Wisconsin micros. It may not knock your socks off, but it certainly must be one of, if not the best places for beer inside the Madison-Milwaukee-Chicago triangle. UPDATE July 04: in-stock were Lindemans,Aventinus,Duvel,Westmalle,3 Monts, 3 Monts Spec Reserve--you guys have just been unlucky. Not amazing, but for sure worth it if you’re in the area.
