Only little grocery store in Gambier with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The owner Bob is a pretty fantastic guy who knows his beer and beer gear. He was also generous to me by donating his famous Keystone Light bike to a charity raffle. Beer there: bombers of Avery, Stone, Bear Republic and I forget some of the others and also a decent wine selection. Food is somewhat limited but it’s a small space catering to Kenyon kids and very small local community.

It’s just a tiny little market, but it’s ours. Bobby, one of the owners, is a fantastic guy with a tremendous knowledge of beer and wine - tell him what you like and he’ll tell you what to buy.

Gambier is not one of the major cities listed on RB it is a small college town home to Kenyon college and it rests about 45 minutes east of Columbus. The village market is a one stop market/deli and it offers the best selection in the area by far. Not a huge selection but rotating pretty often, so one can always find something they haven’t tried before (at least nearly everyone). Have plenty of west coasters like lagunitas and stone and always have the (somewhat) local Great Lakes and Columbus Brewing as well as other big boys like Bells, Anchor, Brooklyn, SN, Rogue, Goose Island, Bear Republic, Fullers, Sam Smiths, Magic Hat, Sam Adams, Two brothers, DFH, Clipper City, Moylands, New Holland, and more. I recently got a Hanssens Oude Gueuze there, which was a surprising find for me. Prices are a bit higher than my hometown of Louisville, but not ridiculous by any means. Haven’t talked to anyone there about beer, but I hear the guy who orders it known plenty about every beer he orders. Other staff are very down to earth and friendly. Definitely worth a stop when in the area. This is the ONLY stop in the area (take note you RB Kenyon students or parents).
