Josey Lane? Could I have believed this would be in existence so many years ago? Yeehaw and hope I manage to meet Rick.

Came in on a Sunday. Plenty of parking on the way in. Rick was taking the day off (good for him), but sadly did not get to meet him. Large store with what appears to be room for more product in the back (behind the huge Clydesdale). Every beer is in a cooler (apart from a few magnums) which is nice. Decently large selection, and seems to be quite up to date with all the new selections in town. I counted 2 meads, 0 non-macro ciders (woodchuck and other crappy stuff), and about 6 sakes (although there was one that I had never seen before). Beers were solid. Fair prices. Seems like a good place, but a bit out of the way for me. That said, I will be back.

Can’t believe I haven’t rated this. This is my first choice to shop even though it’s a bit out of the way for me. Easily has the coldest cold box in DFW and Rick, who is a solid guy, always goes way out of his way to get the newest stuff. Ratebeer discount is a good bonus too even if it has recently been decreased.

First time I’ve been there. Its no lie...Rick is great. I was in a hurry today and just kind of blew by him but stopped long enough to exchange business cards for future beers. In the short period I was there he managed to dig up some Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout and Stone Russian Imperial Stout in the 22 oz bottles. I’ve had the Yeti before but not the oak aged or the stone russian. I know what I’ll be doing tonite.....

This store is definitely developed to cater to both typical macro drinkers and educated crafters. We drove up for the Saint Arnold’s tasting and was greeted at the door by a Miller girl. She was hot, I’ll give her that. The local SA representative was there, gave us 3 samples and lots of conversation. Met Rick and he directed us to his walk in cooler. Nice selection of craft 6-ers and an even better selection of large singles. Several things were on sale here that I had never seen before. Rick was super friendly and enjoyed talking about what he does. We ended up picking up a few large bottles and after some inquiries about some hard to find beer, Rick pulled out a bottle from the back that he didn’t advertise. MUCH thanks goes to him for that! UPDATE: Rick has gone out of his way several times to get information and new beer out to the RB clients. I appreciate the service.

Can’t belive I never got around to rating Rick’s place. That is what a rainy day off can do for one- catch up!! Rick goes out of his way to always have the lastest and greatest and is a super friendly guy to boot. A bit out of the way for me, but when I can, I make it over there.

Ditto what Lumpy said. The staff is incredibly hospitable and go out of their way to find you stuff and enquire about what you like. Best selection in the area.

I still visit CM and Mr G’s when I have time. Rick’s place is closer to home, and he really gives a d___ about great beer.

Decent selection. I didn’t really find anything I hadn’t seen anywhere else. I liked the beer cave.
