Awesome place. Joe and Ed are badasses. I got there, Ed was very informative and showed me some good brews to try out. Then he took me downstairs to their tasting room and cracked open a Stone Ruination for me. Then Joe (2 hours late) shows up and we chill, talking brews and good places in the twin cities. Definitely stopping by here every time I’m in the cities.

I love Heritage Liquor!! I was dragged into Heritage one night after work against my own will but im more than glad I was. Not only was I opened up to a whole new world of beer but i met some AWESOME guys. Ed and Joe are the best! They both take the time to walk through the aisles of beer with me and pick out ones I would love. They haven’t let me down yet! Their hospitality is incredible. I wish i could take them both home to Florida with me... you guys will be the only thing I miss from Minnesota! Love you guys... and the beer!

The best customer service around!! These guys have yet to recommend something I did not like. Every week I look forward to trying something new. It looks like I am not the only one to fly by the other liquor stores and head straight over to see Ed. Great job guys!!!

Seriously, if you need to read a review of this store to shop there...then you suck. Stop reading this right now and go! This place is amazing! Whatever it is....they have it. Whatever you want to know, Ed and Joe will tell you. I have never been to a better liquor store ever. And this place is bursting at it seams! It’s so small and still has the best selection around. The addition of the tasting room in the basement along with their first class beer tastings makes this place worth the trip no matter where you live. I have 4, yes 4 stores within WALKING distance of my house, one being Cellars on Lex/Larp and I am still willing to drive out so see Ed. By the way did I mention the prices can’t be beat...?

I stepped into this store at the very last minute (Before closing on a friday) to pick up some beer on my way to a buddy’s place a year and a half ago. From that moment on, I was hooked. Herritage was just starting out (well re-starting) and there wasn’t a lot to choose from at that time. Ed (the owner) gave me a few free samples to try out and we talked for a bit. From that day I have rarely shopped anywhere else. Everytime I step into this store, I see something new. The customer service is by far the best I have ever encountered and the knowledge of Ed and Joe leaves me in awe. I love stopping in and having Ed and Joe help me choose new experiences. I have another liquor store that is 2 blocks from my house. I will gladly drive the 3 miles out of my way just to buy from Herritage. Even while grocery shopping at the Cub Foods on cty b and rice, (there is a cub liquor right there), I will take the selection, knowledge, and LOW PRICES over convenience any day. Their prices are as fair as can be and you feel like you are talking with a long time friend when you stop into Herritage.

Heritage liquor! what can I say? first off when my friend Stew sent me a text message saying I think I’ve found beer heaven, needless to say I was exited. Pulling into heritage parking lot was not what I expected, however looks can be deceiving and they were in this case! AWESOME selection of craft beers and imports. The service...... second to none! these guys are great, Ed, the owner is cool as hell and Joe the buyer is like a beer encyclopedia the man knows sooooo much about beer without being y or pretentious. Not only do I spend my money there, but I now call these guys my friends. If you want GOOD beer and want cool people helping you find what you want go to heritage liquor today!!

I just recently got into drinking import beer. I used to drink domestic crap now I’ve seen the light. If your going to a drink beer at least have a good tasting one in front of you. I like how knowledgeable the staff is Joe knows his beer and scotch quite well and Ed knows his liquor and cordials. This is one store thats going to help you find something your looking for. Hands down the most friendly and best customer service I’ve seen in the industry. If you want it and they can get it, you will get it.

My good friend and former co-worker Joe is the beerbuyer here and has put together a top notch beer selection. While small, the selection is excellent with numerous area exclusives (finally scoring a bottle of Cantillon 50ºN-4ºE without trading overseas was a huge plus). On another note, Ed (the owner) provides some of the best customer service I’ve ever seen. I mentioned that I was looking for a certain liquor and he contacted the monastery in France to begin tracking it down. I’ve never seen someone go through that kind of trouble for a special order and the effort is greatly appreciated.

Interesting liquor store. They are clearly new and making the best out of what they have to work with, which from the outside is a worn out building. Inside is clean and well organized, if small. More interesting is the basement where tastings for beer, wine, and liquor are held, and this area is more like a lounge than a liquor store. Service was excellent. Anyone who shops in the Twin Cities knows Joe, but Ed, the owner, was very friendly and helpful, and clearly values your business. The selection is not quite as big as Cellars Roseville 1 or Blue Max, but this is not a problem because what isn’t there is mostly stuff you wouldn’t want anyway. I saw quite a few beers I have seen no where else in the Twin Cities, so where they might not match Cellars for quantity, they are more like Blue Max in that you are likely to find something you have never seen before. I will admit I’m not crazy about the location, but that won’t keep me from coming back.

I’ve been to this store a few times now over the past month, and every time I come back there’s always something new to be found on the shelf that is not at any other store within the metro area. This selection is going to only increase, and will definitely surpass all of the top stores shortly. The service is excellent, Joe knows all of the beers, and he’s one of the main reasons that this store will eventually accrue an awesome selection of rare limited release beers. The other employees are very knowledgeable as well. There is a very good selection of Belgians and a very good selection of domestic beers as well. They also offer a make your own six pack deal, which is a nice touch, along with a large selection of singles. If you ever get a chance to sign up for a tasting here, I highly recommend it,, as the room is perfect for such an event, and many great beers are sampled. I can only see this store improving, and if you’re ever in the Twin Cities, this place should be the one stop you make for beer.
