Huge cooking store. If there is some kind of weird cooking utensil that you have been looking forit’s there. Store is a lot bigger on the inside, and is semi-maze like. Beer selection is small, centered around Belgium, and lacking on local beers, but the staff is friendly. Slightly overpriced, whole foods has better prices just down the road. Lots of coffee too if that’s what you’re into. Gigantic wine selection.

This is a huge store if you like food. Aisles dedicated to individual condiments, candy, imported candy, tea, coffee, glassware, kitchen utensils, etc. You cook...its there. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wine selection definitely outshines its beer selection.

This is my favorite gourmet store. They have a few beers. Everytime I stop in they seem to have something new in there. I think 100 bottles may be a bit optimistic, but a decent selection no doubt.

I really like this place. There collection isn’t huge but its esoteric. They have a very condensed collection. They also have a 15% off when you buy twelve bottles, so you there are somethings in there it would be cheaper to buy six singles than a six pack somewhere else. They don’t have a beer staff, mostly wine. So if you go in there know your shit or else you’ll be out of luck. The beer is back in a corner, plenty of belgians and other foreign stuff along with locals and other craft beer from around the country. Don’t expect a thousands of beers but you shouldnt have any problem going in there and buying the twelve necessary for the discount.

Rather small area in which they display their brews. I was impressed with the way they used the limited space (had beers seperated by location. Also had a decent single selection in the cooler.

The store is really nice. They sale just about everything you can imagine. It took me a really long time to find the beer though. It was hidden in the very back...which was a long ways from the entrance. The store is dark, the selection was small, but they had some good brews. I found the rabid duck, yeti, and a few other goodies. The service was great, they had people all over the place waiting to help you. They just need a better overall selection.

Definitely not a beer specialty store, but they have a bunch of decent stuff here. The beer section is small, but they had Duck-Rabbit Barleywine and Baltic, Victory Hop Wallop, Weyerb Imp Stout, Left Hand Smokejumper, a couple des Rocs, some meads, and a bunch of other good stuff that I didn’t pay attention b/c I have access to them back home. One weird thing is that all beers are priced as singles, but once you get 12 singles, it’s 15% off, so if you get two sixers, the prices quickly become reasonable. The guy in the wine section wasn’t necessarily beer savvy, but he told me about the 15% off policy, and he went in the back and got some DR Barleywine when I asked him about it. Certainly worth a short trip to check out.

Thist store has all sorts of shit. If you like hot sauce, they have 70+ bottles of it. They also have beer. Lambics that arent around in other areas. Pretty cool store, they have less than sam’s blue light, but a decent selection.
