| - Fairly decent selection of craft brews as well as imports. New additions typically come with the changing of the season.
Three of my many favorites:
+ Golden Monkey ($11.99 / 6 pack): a Triple (9.5% ABV) brewed by Victory out of PA.
+ Bonehead Imperial Red* ($10.99 / 4 pack): an American Amber / Red Ale (9.4% ABV) brewed by Fat Head's out of OH.
+ Gulden Draak ($12.99): a Belgian Strong Dark Ale (10.5% ABV) out of Belgium.
For other adult beverage options while in the area, try Chuck's Fine Wines (ask to see The Beer Vault) in Chagrin Falls or Warehouse Beverages on Mayfield Rd. Warehouse bvgs takes the cake with Heinen's coming in at second.
At a glance, clean aisles and shelves stocked with a plethora of high quality products fill the store. With their ample selection of specialty goods, Heinen's, more often than not, should be able to accommodate any and all of one's middle upper class grocery needs - perfect for the discerning after-morning-yoga, Lululemon-wearing cougar. If not, a quick five minute drive down Chagrin Blvd. to Trader Joe's (in Eton plaza, along with Sur La Table for one's kitchen gadgetry needs) or Whole Foods should suffice.
The prepared foods/café corner consistently draws much of the attention. Immaculate with good presentation of the dishes, it's easy to see the appeal. My personal guilty pleasure: Sushi Wednesdays - look for the red sticker on the lid (discounted, perhaps even half-off) to be in the know, shh.
Seeing the new crop of green high school students in their khakis (most probably from Orange High School - Go Lions) ring up at the register, absentmindedly bagging, takes me back (way back) to when I used to be indentured here during my OHS yrs...damn, goodbye halcyon days.
