This place is a solid neighborhood option for craft beer in Rogers Park.

Last time I was here, there was a Southern Tier beer tasting on a friday night. There was beer talk going on, it was fun. Most of the beer is located in coolers along the right-hand wall, and more on the shelves when you walk in on the left. A little more surplus is around the corner in the second aisle too. There was a good focus on Belgian beer, and even some glassware behind the counter on high shelves.

Lots of micro options too, plenty of current seasonals. There were a few 3 Floyds seasonal bombers here, some have been around for some time, like Gorch Fock. The Dreadnaught I bought was likely not from the latest batch, so i'm not sure what the turnover is like here. At least 75% of the beer is refrigerated. There was Founders, Goose, 2 Bros., Southern Tier, plenty of craft and imports alike. Most of the old standbys are available.

If you're in the area, check it out.

edit: Additionally, there's a hole in the wall liquor store 2 blocks south that has a few very obscure eastern euro imports.
