Rum River Wine & Spirits

This place was so shocking! They had TONS of craft beer, and it seemed like they have very low foot traffic so not a lot of bottle turn over. I was very surprised, as well as pleased. It’s always nice walking into a random liquor store and having such a solid selection.

This place is a diamond in the rough. They have great customer service, they will hold anything for you or order it in if possible. The beer manager is very into beer, you can talk beer with him for hours. They can be a bit pricey on a few things and incredibly low on others. Amazing selection. All in all a great store.

Great beer selection, service is always friendly and knowledgeable. Good sampler selection. Surly Furious is perpetually on sale and the price is lower than I’ve seen anywhere else ($8.97)

Update: They have recently created a section for single 12oz bottles. Selection is not large, but had a decent variety.

My go-to store for craft beer, great selection, best in the NW suburbs.

This place is out of the way, but in my old neck of the woods, so I stop in every now and then. When you walk in it looks like all the rest, but walk to the back and they have a whole wall of bombers and a warehouse feel of odds and ends, which always seem to have some limited sixers that are hiding in the mix. I found some Pretty Things in there awhile ago and that is what keeps me going back. The service is good and if you run into the owner you will talk of beer for a long time ( great guy he also has the Bacchus store in shoreview). Prices are solid last week they were selling In The Wood 4 & 5 for $19.99 never seen that price! Overall decent place to check if in the area.

Nice selection of domestic and imports. Friendly and knowledgeable service.

A friend told me about the selection here, and, given his affinity to tasty beers, I decided to check it out. Pretty nice selection, especially given it’s location. A little off the beaten path. Service was very good. I didn’t need much help and was just scoping out the selection, but 2 male workers continued to ensure I didn’t have questions. Not much as far as cooler space, but didn’t bother me. Liked that you could get a discount by buying a "6 pack" of big bottle/bomber style beers. Found a couple treats that were a year old, so even better! Will definitely go back.
