(Visited 08/2010): Another place I have passed dozens of times without ever considering there would be a good beer selection inside. The "Over 300 Varieties of Beer" part of their sign outside was a good clue though. The store is on East Maple between Cleveland and Main and Market. There is a small lot out front that seems to be enough for the constant flow of customers. The place looks like a typical convenience store both inside and out, except for the small deli counter and coolers full of beer in the back of the store. There is also a shelf with imports at room temperature. The beer selection is pretty solid, and there are a ton of singles available to mix your own six pack. Some of the domestic micros they carry include Hoppin’ Frog, Great Lakes, Tröegs, Two Brothers, Ithaca, Lagunitas, Rogue, Stone, and many more. As for imports there are the typical selections from the UK, Germany and Ireland plus a few Belgians and a really thorough batch from Russia. Service was good on a Saturday afternoon. Overall this place is definitely worth a stop for a beer lover. One minor ding is the dating on some of the beer seems suspect. I am frankly unsure how they support the craft beer selection because as I shopped, customer after customer came to the beer aisle grabbing cases of Natty Light or whatever. Either way this is definitely a place to seek out when in North Canton.

This is the second best place to grab bottles in Canton. Chewy does a great job at varying the selection of beer they have and the inventory turns quick enough that you can find something new every week or so. The downside is the quality of selection. While it is great for someone getting into craft beer and always offers something new I find myself often asking"Why would you order this from XXX brewery when there flagship beer is XXX?" I know this has a lot to do with the distributors and their unwillingness to supply small bottle shops with the great stuff. I will say though I always walk out of Erik’s with something.

Erik’s has the best selection of beer you’ll find in Canton, Ohio. One of the back walls of the shop is a row of coolers, with about 50% of allotted space being given to singles. Lots and lots of Bell’s and Flying Dog, along with many Belgians and a varied selection from across the United States. Some bottles may sit for a while, but the selection does seem to update quickly along with the seasons. Recently, and somewhat unexpectedly, found Bruery Saison de Lente here, so stop in and see if something catches your eye.
