I hate going to Acme and would rather go to Heinen’s or North End Market any day rather than Acme, or as it is known in our household Smacme. It’s a very average big grocery store but I was surprised to find the beer selection to have more variety than Heinen’s. However, Acme has many more six packs and more variety within these packs than they do singles which is something I think Heinen’s does much better. The selection includes Great Lakes, Lakefront, Avery, Lagunitas, BBC (bourbon barrel stout), Southern Tier variety packs and singles, Flying Dog, Magic Hat, Victory Brewing Co., Thirsty Dog, Goose Island, Bell’s, Stone, Dogfish Head, The Firehouse Brewing Co., a pumpkin ale by Brooklyn Brewing and Heavy Seas. An interesting selection but I wish they had more singles.

Hudson Wine and Spirits never really held a candle to Acme’s beer selection, but now that Acme had to switch over a lot of it’s shelf space to liquor the beer selection really looked like it took a hit. The wide array of samplers that used to have their own wall, now take up space that used to belong to Founder’s Breakfast Stout, GI BCS, and other assorted gems. I always stop in there when I’m in town visiting my parents, but the last time there I left dissapointed. It was usually good for at least a couple nice finds, but sadly that seems to no longer be the case.

Mostly a liquor store. Not much in the way of beer, just 2 small coolers. While what they do have is decent, its not worth going out of the way for. You probably won’t find what you are looking for if its is something out of the ordinary. I think Old Speckled Hen was about the best thing they had....

It’s a smaller store with most of the selection being wine and liquor, but they do have a good selection of beers in sixers and singles. They will also special order. Check w/ Steve while your there, he may not have all his inventory on the floor, so you may find a few surprises.
