| - Ok, so I thought I would check this place out since it has all the buzz lately. Now, the wine selection is insane. I've never seen so much wine in one spot before. However, as much as I like wine, I am more of a craft beer person. Their craft beer selection was not bad at all. They had a lot of great American beers, from Stone, to Dogfish Head, to Rogue. I saw some beers there that I haven't seen offered before. The thing is, none of these beers were refrigerated. This is a huge no-no in my book. Beer should always almost always be stored in a 50-55 degrees area, not out on a shelf next to the wine and spirits.
This store does have a refrigerated area, but it is quite small in comparison to the rest of the building. It was really quite pathetic. There were two columns for "craft beers", which is about as much as you would find at any large liquor store in town. They really only had the basics in here, as far as craft beers go. Other large liquor stores have much more interesting beers in their fridges.
I was a little disappointed with the beer selection and the shelf storage they have chosen for beer. Perhaps the short shelf lifespan that they predict for their beer won't ruin most of the beers they have sitting out on the shelf, unrefrigerated... but I am not going to take my chances. I'll be shopping here for wine, but for beer forget it.
