Feel like as i go more places circle liquors, just seems more expensive with a short selection of great beers. I bet a lot of the beer just sits in the fridges, beer on shelves is hit or miss, also seems like they are shipping stock from other stores so maybe other stuff will show up.

I’be been coming here for years, even back when it was called Circle Liquors. I live in PA which has no resonable place to buy beers because of the crazy state laws. It takes me about 20 minutes to get to Super Saver and it’s well worth it. They have a great selection of beers (and wines) and the staff is always willing to help you out and even order things if you can’t find it. Prices are the same as other places but occasionally you can find a deal. Again, I always go here because of the selection, and that’s what it’s really all about anyway.

I stop by every few months. A nice selection. Most beers are in a refregerator. Decent prices. If you live in the area, It’s a pretty good place. I wouldn’t drive more then 15 miles to go here.

This place was the shit, now it is going in the shit. They had Heavyweight, 2005 WWS’s, 2002 120’s, 2000 Monsters, Goose Island Matilda, and old-skool rogue impy stouts from 2001. All their beer is kept cold, which helps since most of it is aged. I went in and bought most of the good stuff left. The beer guy doesn’t know much either.

Circle liquors was where I was able to sample the beers I read about in Michael Jackson’s books. Being local, I went there religiously for many years upon turning 21, many years before there was any place comparable within many miles. Then the selection declined and the prices, which were always a little higher than anywhere else became ridiculous, with nothing worth drinking priced less than $10 a six. I stopped going for the remaining years it was Circle. I’ve been back 3 times since Circle became Super Saver, and each time the selection and prices have improved. It is my beer heaven again! I hope it stays that way, I get so sick of the lack of imports at most stores. I hope it stays that way.

dmac... I disagree with the service rating... When you ask for help, you get it! It’s not a restaurant where you are paying for service, and I have never experienced service with beer selection. However, you must ask. They do know their products, unlike the competitive Shop Rite, almost right next store. If you know beer well enough to post on this site, you should recognize a great shoppe when you find as opposed to punishing for it’s shortcomings. For the prices you pay, it is more than fair, even under market... Way to go Reddy, another phenomenal purchase!!!

Stopped here with willblake after a Triumph run. A large beer section with most selections available cold. I saw a few beers here that I have never seen in NJ before, Struiselensis, Triple Exultation, Atlantic Brewing S.O.B. to name a few of the ones I picked up. Fantastic sinlges section but be warned you WILL pay more for singles. As for service there was none. We must have been in there beer section ten to fifteen minutes with no one asking if we needed any help. When it came time to check out some tool bag asked what wine goes with lamb, now let me point out it’s the 4th of July, grab a beer and a burger pretentious douche. Well both kiss ass clerks run to help him figure out what shiraz or what the fuck to pair with his meat and actually needed to call in a third clerk for assistance. Excuse me dicks I would like to pay for this beer please or should I just walk out with it. Well go for the beer but don’t expect anything from the service.

Wow! This place is like a candy store for beergeeks. They carry Stone, DFH, Fantome, Boon, ect. Many vintage brews on the shelf. If you can get to this store, make the trip. Awesome selection and reasonable prices.
