This is an all around good Binnys location. Recently they have expanded and added more space to the craft beer area where there used to be just drink mixers. Full lines of Southern Tier, 3 Floyds, Allagash, Founders, 2 Bros, Ommegang 750s, assorted bombers & also several from Jolly Pumpkin. Now and then they have some unusual imports such as vintage Aventinus, Troubadour Obscura, Burton Bridge IPA, and a few others. I wish they had a few more Gueuze or traditional lambics, they did have a few Cantillon and Boon Framboise & Kriek (not the Oude) but mostly fruit stuff from Lindemans/St. Louis/Chapeau. Long aisles broken up by country of origin, plenty of Belgian German, Italian, Eastern Europe, English, and so on. Japan got stuck on the end of the aisle with ciders and other oddball stuff. I've saved a few bucks here with the binnys card, and they send out coupons to their mailing list that apply to beer (good service). They have a staffed help desk if no one is on the floor. They have special ordered here for me before, so that also adds points for service.

while running around getting some coffee, I stuck my head into this binny's as I parked across the street from it...

and was pleasantly surprised with the beer selection... I am a stalker and long single or parallel aisles are great and all, but this is a binny's with shorter aisles, thus more to stalk... good representations of full product lines of available beer, founders, great lakes, goose etc... good use of space, smaller and larger belgians (something most stores don't do as much) as with the cantillion, konigshoven, and others... lots of good warm beer to choose from, discount rack of non discounted skus that were being closed out, but prices on the binny's card discounts were good...

sign up for a binny's card, the savings on the sale items were a buck/buck n a half for those on sale...

atomsphere is good, not a carbon cut out binnys, big spacious... beer is to the right corner of the store, nice deli, with an excellent chocolate section... I've seen better cheezes and meats but the chocolate section was nice at this location... kinda dorky to mention, but they had a water fountain at the back of the beer section which in it's way hit the spot as it was warmer and I needed water.

Service was typical binny's which means average to not so good, but when they leave you be.... it's good service overall... imo.
