The first review for this place is almost spot on. I walked in and almost immediately walked right back out but I stomached it and searched for something rare. The coolers were nothing special, a few filled with stuff like flying dog and 60/90 min dogfish head which was probably the best thing I was expecting to find here. Working your way from the the back right you'll go to the back and find nothing but light beer and then you'll start to cry because you spent your time going to this place. BUT DON'T WORRY! On the back left wall and the shelf right across from it you'll find a few good things. This is were I found the Dogfish Head 120 min that the last reviewer spoke of. I shelled out $9 for a bottle which is average price I've found them to be but the fact that they had it was amazing to me. I'm guessing someone in the past requested it. Good thing it ages well because I'm sure the bottle I bought was from the same pack the first reviewer bought from. Besides that, they literally had only a few things. Bells kalamazoo hopsoultion, bells 25th anni, and their hell hath no fury ale. A few imports and your trip here is over. Go here if you have a CB emergency late in the night and need something immediately, want to buy the dogfish 120, or waste your gas if you're driving anywhere but ogden ave.

Strip mall store, not much outside to clue you in on the beer selection aside from macro signs. Inside it was a narrow square passage, with craft/imports in a cooler on the right wall, macros in the center, and a couple facing shelves of assorted craft & imports. Chrismas beers were still hanging out, though the bottles were dust-free.

About 100 beers, for US craft there was DFH 90 & 120, Bells (2-3), Goose (2-3), Lagunitas (2-3), Anchor, New Belgium (4-5), Sierra Nevada (5-6), Flying Dog (5-6), Left Hand, Two Brothers, Rogue, FFF Alpha King/Pride & Joy, North Coast, and a few others. Import wise, there was Unibroue (6-7), Optimator, Samichlaus, Duvel, Lindemans, Delirium, plus a handful of other random ones. Mostly your typical staples, but still a fairly good selection.

At the register, the guy said he'd like to carry all craft beer if he could, but the macro is the most popular for the area. He pointed out the craft/import cooler, which I missed initially while surveying the store layout.

Overall a decent local stop, although nothing especially rare or limited, with a smaller selection than Woodmans near I-88.
