As mentioned by others, the big draw of this place is location and single selection. Location - located very close to I-70, good location for folks driving through KC. Not real convenient for downtown or Johnson County, but if you are driving through, this is a nice stop. Single selection - they single out almost every beer they have, and do not mark up on the six pack price. That’s a nice feature, and the only place in KC area that does this. In terms on the store itself, it is new, clean, open and features a nice layout. Selection here is OK, they have all of the local micros, but did not have any of the rare or special release stuff. I didn’t see Southern Tier, Brew Dog, or any of the other new breweries to the area.

If you are passing through the area, you owe it to yourself to stop through this easy to find place from right off of I-70. Great selection of statewide local and regional micros, O’Fallon, Boulevard, Pony Express, Schlafly, and if you are coming through town on a Friday like I was you can treat yourself to a free tasting, which is great when you are on the road from St. Louis and are highlyin need of a drink. They do have other beers, but it is mostly a stop for regional micros. Good stuff, not the most helpful staff in the world, but other than that a great stop.

If you live or travel through the Independence area, this is definitely a store worth checking out. The beer selection focuses primarily on American micro selections with a smattering of German, Belgian, British and other imports thrown into the mix. Most of the sought-after Belgians are noticeably absent, but there are other places to acquire those in KC. So why do I give it such a relatively high score? One reason: it is the only place in town (that I know of) which neatly organizes and sells nearly every beer it carries as a single, and without a price markup over its sixer/4-pack pricing. This gives you the perfect opportunity to construct a custom sixer of all those beers that you’ve put off trying because you were wary of dropping $13 or more on a sixer of something you might hate. I did just that, and for $11, I walked away with 6 new brews that I’d have been forced to pay about $75 to try elsewhere. That alone makes this a go-to shop for picking up all of those procrastination brews.

One of my favorites in the KC area. The staff is friendly and they have a pretty good selection.
