Decent stop. Nice selection of locals. Prices are ok. I only stop here if I do.t have a chance to stop at Cyclone up in Ames or beer crazy. But it gets the job done.

The previous reviews pretty much nailed it. Nice service, but not super knowledgeable. The prices seemed a little high to me. Small but decent quality of selection. Their biggest draw is that they are right off of I-35, but their selection is blown away by Cyclone Liquors and the better places around Des Moines. Maybe it’s better that they keep the selection smaller as I didn’t see any dusty stuff on the shelf. Only worth a stop if you don’t have time to go elsewhere in the area and want some Iowa beer.

Little selection. Good location and friendly service but not the most knowledgable.

This place serves it’s pourpose, I suppose. It’s right off the Highway so if you’re just passing through this will be the easisest place to pick up a few Iowa/midwest micros. Generally speaking though the selection is lacking, it looks like they rotate new stuff in but with a full wall of the store serving as a beer cooler one would have to walk to the last five feet to find anything particularly good. They’ve got a bunch of singles at pretty seriously inflated prices, for example I almost bought a Tank 7 12 oz till I saw it was almost five dollars, I almost bought a 330ml of Chouffe till I saw it was almost seven bucks. Six pack prices are on point with basically any liquor or grocery store in the area. One can find good beer here, but not a lot of it. If I lived in Ankney I might stop in from time to time to see what they’ve got in, but given the selection at other Des Moines locations I can’t imagine going here again. Oh but they have a drive-thru!!!!

Nothing fancy about it but it did have a nice selection of local Iowa beers. Plus you can build your own 6-pack. Probably about 12-15 Iowa beers and then plenty of other Midwest beers too. Even have a drive through in the pack. I just wanted some Iowa brews and this place was perfect.
