| - Gold mine!
I visited this place recently with my brother. After a long afternoon of outdoor labor, I was more than excited to hear that we were going to purchase a couple of cold ones to unwind.
When we pulled up to this place, I thought to myself "Where in the hell has he brought me?" I definitely learned that you cannot judge a book by its cover after visiting this place. We made our way to the back of the store near the beer display case where my brother began to strike up a conversation with a man whom he knows simply as "the beer man". I don't know if I would ever want to be affectionately known as the beer man myself, but this man has definitely earned the moniker in my eyes.
Glancing at the beer display, I quickly realized that I was familiar with less than 20% of the beer selections and had actually only had about 10%. Thats where the beer man comes in. I think he could sense the hesitation in me with regards to my search, so he came over and began to give us a ten minute spiel on the different kinds of beers that he stocks, what they taste like, what they are made from, where they are brewed, etc. We went with his recommendation and were very satisfied with our purchase.
It is interesting to see the very different blend of people that frequent this place. I even saw a guy there that was dressed like Prince from the Purple Rain movie.
If you are looking to sit back and drink a good beer rather than the traditional busch or miller product, I would highly recommend making your way to the Common Market for a wide range of quality beer selections.
Oh yeah, they have other stuff too.
