Not one of the better Woodman’s I’ve been to. A bit disorganized and some fairly bad turnover. Smaller and older than other locations.

Great selection but the parking and atmosphere leave a little to be desired.

For a grocery beer/liquor store, Woodmans has a great selection of both beers and wine - national, local and international. Everything is priced very well relative to other comparable stores. The staff is helpful, but are by no means experts or overly knowledgable. Definitely a good value with a great selection!

Definitely grocery store liquor department ambiance. Paying with cash, check or ATM is a bit of a pain, especially when on a serious beerrun. Selection isn’t too bad, decent mid-western selection plus reasonable imports. Other Woodmans have larger liquor sections - not a bad stop if you are in the area, though.

very similar great selection as janesville. tons of wisconsin brews, plenty of new glarus and even a nice selection of belgians: chimay, delierium tremens/nocturnum, even 375ml of chouffe dobblein tripel. amounts of wine and liquor is ridicolous!

Nice sized place that mostly focuses on the cheaper beers. Their craft beer selection has increased over the last year with brands like new glarus, lakefront, stone, fullers, weltenburger, unibroue, and many more wisconsin craft beers. Their singles selection has most of their worst craft beers available so don’t go there expecting to find much value in anything other than their 6 packs and single bottles that can’t be put in a 6 pack. Their prices are cheap which in a way compensates for their lack of selection. Not a bad place to find a couple good brews but you will soon buy all their beer that is worth buying there.

One of the better places in my area, but the build-your-own six pack is crap. Just a bunch of nothing imports and crap domestics. A few nice bombers and at least they have Bells, Stone, and Flying Dog, but no real diamonds in the rough as people say.

Probably the bottom of the Woodman’s I’ve been to in terms of selection. A very small build your own section sits below a small selection of Belgian and foreign beers. Plenty of domestic swill and Wisconsin Micros here along with a lot of regional brands and sample packs. I guess it’s a pretty decent store, especially for the area with reasonable prices and a large selection but the aforementioned lack of build your own and foreign beers leave it a step behind the rest.

Probably the second best selection of craft beers in Appleton but rather a distant second. That being said, you should be able to find something to your tastes. There’s a nice variety of domestics, imports and even a handful of interesting craft beers including some DFH, Flying Dog, Allagash, Bell’s, Tyrenena, Summit, Smutty Nose, New Holland and many others. Comparable to the Woodman’s in Green Bay with only a slightly smaller selection. Service is somewhat non-existent. I’m not sure whether or not this is to be expected in a liquor store that’s attached to a grocery store but it would be nice to see some improvement here. Even when I can get them to take requests, I rarely receive any kind of follow up. The only time that they’ve ever followed through was one time when they called me to tell me they couldn’t get what I was looking for. When I go in and ask for an update, I’m typically told that they haven’t heard anything. Overall, the service is disappointing, considering that with their decent prices (typically in the range of $1 or more LESS, per 4 or six pack, than the top store in the area), they could be kicking butt! All in all, it’s a decent selection with decent prices. I just wish they’d put a little effort into it if for no other reason than to give the top store a run for their money. More competition would be a benefit to all.
