Located in a small rural town that seems very nice. You can see the farmers riding around on bikes down main street. The store isn't obvious, but if you know where to look then it's easy to find. I believe it's also a print shop. Walking in the store you see small items that you would find in a gift shop, including snacks. The bottles are toward the back, where there is a wine section and a beer section.
Walking down the aisle to your left there are stacks of six packs, which you can break to make a mix pack, or case.

The beer section has every size bottle, including just about every shape, from every country that makes beer. If you can't find it here, then it probably doesn't make it to anywhere in Virginia. This is the best selection I have seen out of Texas, Virginia, and Atlanta so far.

Toward the back there is a counter where there is beer tasting. According to the website there is a tasting every Saturday from Noon to 4PM. The person doing it seemed knowledgable, though I didn't catch his name. In fact, the entire staff knew their beer. The owner, Mark, has probably tried most of the beers available.

The prices are fair. About $1.70 for a single 12oz, unless it's a small batch beer. The larger beers are closer to $6 or $7. There is a 10% discount for mixed sixers, and a 15% for mixed cases. There is a 20% discount for straight cases.

The only bad thing about this place is it's an hour away from me. If you make a trip out here you may as well stock up, especially since there are heavier discounts for cases than six packs. Great selection, good prices. Why not make a road trip?
