Stopped in last night with Acme, looked to be the main craft source in town.

Free-standing building with ample parking, corner entrance with a Big Muddy sign in the window that was promising. The store was clean and well lit, no dust on anything. We were greeted by the staff, and checked out the beer coolers. There was one cooler on the left that had some new seasonals like Lagunitas Sucks and Two Bros Night Cat in with some random stuff. The coolers along the back wall had quite a few doors (12 or so) maybe half craft.

The real surprise here was the warm shelf, it was opposite the coolers and all craft, at least 250 brands in all. Full lines of Founders, Lagunitas, Bells, Firestone Walker, NB Lips of Faith, and more. Maine Beer Co. MO on the shelf, Orval, Courage Russian Imperial Stout, obscure barrel-aged Two Bros Grand Teton, and Ft. Collins beers. Some German and Belgian imports, but the majority was American craft. Breweries were grouped together and the selection was easy to navigate. The only knock to quality was a few 1 year-old bottles of Wookey Jack on the shelf. Prices were fair on everything.

The lady at the register was friendly and there was a sweet German shepherd lounging behind the counter. No problems whatsoever with the staff...

Thanks to Kmpitz2 for the tip on this place.
