| - This place is a hidden gem for craft beer lovers in the east valley. This is how my first time in went: They'd posted on Facebook that they just got in the first HopSlam of the season and it would go quick. I was there an hour later, walked in, asked if they had any, and they said that it had already sold out. I was disappointed, and started perusing the aisles for something to numb the pain. After a few minutes, one of the guys that worked there said he had put aside a 6 pack of the HopSlam to share with his father (I think?), but that he'd sell me two bottles out of it if I really wanted. At that point I'd never had HopSlam, so I was desperate to try it, and eagerly accepted! They won me over my first time in..
Since then, every time I've been in I've had good experiences. They like talking beer. I've never felt condescended to. They make recommendations. When I ask where something is, they almost always go and get it for me instead of simply point in a direction.
They have a really great selection of craft beers. They don't have a lot of space, but they are using it wisely. I routinely see things there I don't see at the larger chain liquor stores.
I feel really lucky to have found this place!
