Kind of a hole in the wall but with a pretty great selection! Greeted at the door by 2 awesome dogs! Nice touch! Picked up some Nogne O, Weyerbacher Insanity and a bottle of Speedway Stout. Guys working the counter were very informative and outgoing. Highly recommend.

Doesn’t look like much from the outside but the inside of Palmer’s contains an outstanding selection of beers. Didn’t see many singles available but I was able to pick up several beers that I haven’t seen in Cincy (i.e. Hop Stoopid, Evil Twin, Columbus IPA). Prices seemed to be on par with most places. They have a nice little selection of affordable glassware as well. The staff was friendly and seemed very knowledgable. Loved the bulldog acting like it ran the place. A must stop when in Columbus.

It’s your basic liquor store vibe. They sell craft beer and wine with the most emphasis seemingly placed on the beer. They have a number of coolers for six packs and large number of regional and international craft beers. They don’t have any kind of make your own sixer selection which is a bit of a surprise given the care that went into selecting their beers. (Three Floyds, Alesmith, DFH, Epic etc.) The prices are pretty good.

Everything you could want here, tons of imports, lots of craft beers and more of the local brews than anywhere else in Columbus. Pinky and Buddy the dogs greet you at the door and the service is awesome everyone there knows a lot about the beers and will help you find anything or just chat about their new favorites. Top notch store and the blonde guy is smokin’ hot.

I had to stop in here due to all the good reviews they’ve gotten. I must say, I was quite impressed! It seems to be an older store but fairly maintained. My girlfriend loved the dogs. She’s not a beer lover so it was nice that they kept her entertained while I shopped. They have several aisles of bombers, singles, sixers etc, and them several coolers full of beer also. I walked away with some Maharaja, Duvel, Hoppin Frog Boris and a Hippie, which I can’t wait to try. All in all, a great little shop.

Visited early afternoon on a Wednesday. Stand alone cinder block building a short distance from downtown Columbus. The beer is organized by country on racks for the most part in the middle of the store. There were also some craft 6 packs in a cooler on the side. The selection was pretty good, quite a few labels you don’t normally see. Really no service to speak of, though I didn’t seek any out. Nice enough store.

In Columbus for holiday so I stopped by one of the highest rated beer stores to compare to Chicago. While its nothing remotley close to Binny’s in LP, its pretty damn good for Columbus. They have 4 rows of beer, placed appropriately by region and nice great selection of West Coast brews I can’t get in Chicago. Great selection of Stone and Alesmith, then some great semi locals like Troegs then an awesome Yeti seasonal pack. The price is great, I got a great bottle of Cantillon for 15, more like 29 in Chicago.

One of my go to shops in Columbus. I always recommend this to people from out of town as it is located very close to I-71. You are usually welcomed by one of the few dogs who hang out here. The place is pretty well organized, which is a good thing because there is a lot of damn beer here. The first isle is English/Scottish/Irish capped with German. The left side of the middle isle is all Belgian. Some rarities pop up here so keep your eyes peeled. The rest is all American craft. The vast majority of the beer here is in a bomber or 750ml. This really helps if you are looking for a specific beer that is in a larger format. You know Palmers will have it. This is the place to go for Jolly Pumpkin, Alesmith, Southern Tier, Smuttynose and Hoppin Frog. Their glass selection is growing and getting pretty nice. Duvel tulips have been in stock recently.

This place has a large bottle selection and often has rarities that cannot be found elsewhere. Always on my list of stops when beer-hunting.
