| JK (118), Richfield, Minnesota | | September 18, 2009 [ Updated September 19, 2009 ] 200, maybe. I was greeted when I entered but offered no help, which is fine with me. Big Top has far more cold craft beer. It is always great to be able to build your own six pack, but there is not much to choose from. This is a place to go for a small selection of good beer, if you are at the Dale & Como area and have to have cold beer immediately. I don’t mean to criticize the store too much, it isn’t a bad place, but as far as craft beer, there is not that much here. Average prices. There is an attached pizza/ sandwich shop that I look forward to trying for lunch. | tdaglow (6), Minnesota does not count - explanation | | October 23, 2008 This place has by far the best selection of cold singles in the city. Organization was horrible and a little disappointed by the fact that the manager won’t buy six packs that will sell for more than ten dollars. Great in a pinch but not where I’d shop on a regular basis. This place needs a beer manager and maybe a new location. | thejoeshow (7), Saint Paul, Minnesota does not count - explanation | | August 1, 2008
This place is a sleeper...You would never expect the selection that Abetto’s has by driving by or it’s location. After you pass a crackhead buying a 24oz can of whatever they can afford with the change they found on the ground, you will find a very nice selection of import and craft beers. They have a good selection of six packs on the warm shelf as well as a decent selection in the reach in cooler adjacent to the shelves. You can find everything here, from neighborhood favorites Pennsylvania Style 30 packs to Steamworks Third Eye Pale Ale and Southern Tier Hoppe. They also have a nice beer menu that gives you tasting notes, pricing, and all kinds of other info in a very nicely organized book hanging in front of the shelf. The only thing I would say is a negative is the organization of the shelves is lacking....actually absent. It’s crazy. The selection is great and the HUGE selection of singles that also work for build your owns is worth checking out alone. Not the biggest selection, but no one knows about this place so you don’t have to wait in line AND you get what you want!!! Check them out! Also, try the pizza from the adjoining deli, it’s a TOTAL bonus! It’s awesome! Beer and Pizza in one spot! |
