Nice little store hidden in South Beloit. The beer area is in the back past all the liquor.

Service has always been good for me. As long as you ask for help, they always have someone to assist you, unlike some of the bigger stores. I was lucky to have Matt (The Beer Guy) helping me out. Not only did we talk about beer and the industry as a whole for almost an hour and a half, but he even grabbed me a couple hidden gems out of the back room after learning my style choices.

Great selection! 2 full shelving units of craft brews along with various endcap displays and case stacks and another full shelving unit of Euro beers. A whole bunch of coolers with mostly macro stuff, but a good deal of craft 6-packs and bombers are also kept cold. While I was there, I grabbed a Sierra Nevada Beer Camp 12pk (the only place in town I ever saw it), Sierra Nevada BRUX, New Bel Peach Porch Lounger, Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi, Boulevard Reverb Pilsner, Dark Horse Fore and Tres Boulevard Collaboration 3 Stingo, Mo Betta Bretta, Unibroue Grande Reserve 17, Stone Smoked Porter w/ Vanilla Beans and a Hoppin Frog BA Naked Evil. And that is not even getting into the Euro beers where I absolutely saw a bunch of Mikkeller stuff including stuff from the single hop series and the Beer Geek series. They have a bunch of great whisky too, including the single barrel stuff that they get bottled just for them. I was told by a friend about some single barrel Weller that is awesome. From what I understand, the 750s and the handles were different barrels so they have totally different tastes. That will be my next purchase there.

Great value here too. I don’t know about the Wisconsin Woodmans like others here have said, but I know Everett’s is usually the same or lower than the Rockford Woodmans. And, you get service here that you won’t find in a grocery store.

Overall, I don’t understand why this place isn’t rated higher...Someone better tell Dr. Owl to come back and give it another go. As someone who is new to town, this is going to be one of my usual stops on the way home from work.

Since I live and work in Wisconsin, this is my hot spot for those beers that are only available in Illinois. There are generally 100-125 brews there I can’t find easily elsewhere where I normally shop. The selection is modest but they have a good selection of good and unique beers. I generally head home with a mix & match 6pk and an imported single. Way better than Stateline Liquors that is less than 1/2 mile away. A great little liquor store in a little po-dunk town.

Made a pit stop here earlier today and glad I did. Beer was in the back and not a huge selection, but loads of quality. Prices were very good as well. Didn’t ask his name, but a guy came out of the back and saw me checking out the craft beer. Asks if I was interested in some limited release stuff and I was like heck yeah I am. Seemed like a great guy that knew his stuff. They had some singles, but my focus was on the good stuff. Check it out if you are in the area.

I stopped by on my way to Madison, WI, and managed to pick up a few things.

Well lit, small little place. Normal signage, and a little bit run-down, I’d say.

I was never asked if I needed help, and when I checked out the cashier was not very friendly.

The selection wasn’t bad. Lost Abbey, New Belgium, and plenty of local IL and WI beers. I was hoping for a bit more, though.

The prices seemed on par with just about anywhere else.

Overall, it’s a stop if you’re in town or passing through and want to get some of the stuff you can’t get in WI.

I enjoy coming here for all the stuff I can’t get in Wisconsin, good selection of Lost Abbey brews and I recently picked up 2 bottles of KBS here, Matt the beer guy really knows his stuff and is helpful with any questions you have. If you’re making your way in to Wisconsin it’s worth the 5 minute drive off the interstate.

I nice little place with a pretty good selection of craft beers - head to the back. The store is a bit off the beaten path, so if you didn’t know where to go you might never know it’s there. Good prices and selection makes this store worth a stop if you’re near the border. (update - had a nice long talk with Matt at Everett’s and wanted to update the service/overall scores to reflect it)

Are we still in Illinois? Sigh... yes. Beer is wayy in the back here, past aisles of liquor and wine. At least theres no light coming in. There were a couple rack displays with bombers from Port, Lost Abbey, Ballast Point, New Belgium, Fort Collins, etc. On the shelf there was plenty from Founders, Bells, Dark Horse, and others. Breakfast stout was on special for $8.99, that was sweet. Pere Jaques and Sofie from GI were also on display. Around the corner there was a good range of imports, 3 Monts, Chouffe, Rodenbach on the Belgian side, Schlenkerla and others on the German side. Not crazy extensive, but respectable. In the coolers there were only 2 doors of craft, and 1 door of imports out of 10 or so doors. Lots of macro cases, and random malt liquor dominated the rest of the cooler. The older lady at the register was nice, but there was no staff on the floor. Overall this was a good store with cheap deals, but Wisconsin was calling my name. Woodmans in Beloit had Cranbic, and Badger had a bunch of WI singles, plus Stone etc.

Nice little store on wisconsin border pick up a nice selection that i have not been able to find closer to the city,blackout stout from great lakes,tres blueberry stout and 4 smoke from dark horse. diffenitly worth a stop if you are in the area

I find this to be a good place for a lot of the beers I like. It doesn’t have everything but still a fairly good selection and the prices are reasonable. Most of the beers I have rated came from either Woodmans or here. I usually visit it once every other week.

liquors are really expensive. beers are pretty variable, but you can get the good ones a little on the cheap side. doubt they care for the beer well, of course. only downside here is it’s illinois, so you get no New Glarus. take the short drive to woodman’s for the NG, it’s worth it.
