Fantastic selection of local and out-of-state breweries and growler fills to be found in this unassuming gas station market. Definitely worth the trip to Lake Stevens.

Holy crap - the selection is UNREAL!! Do go here, but beware of the hicks... its pretty backwoods

Wow, quite a startling beer mecca for being so seemingly far away from everything. You wouldn’t necessarily think that such a woodsy, house-focused neighborhood would have the population to support a bottle shop--you expect to find these in more densely packed areas in town. But it’s the real deal, with at least a dozen coolers full of craft beer. You wouldn’t think it’s the real deal, though, because it looks like a gas station--must be the gas pumps, and everything else about it that’s a gas station. When you first walk in, you still think it’s just an ordinary mini-mart. But then you walk the coolers and you see dozens of Belgians and hundreds of American beers. They have a couple dozen empty six pack holders sitting out, clearly inviting you to mix up and go. One whole side wall is craft beer; the back wall is macro-industrial lagers and then the third wall is gatorade and pop and stuff. It’s right off Highway 9, so not too awfully hard to get to. I don’t happen to pass through here that often, but this is a guaranteed stop if I am in the vicinity. They even had a ton of cool vintage looking single-wide milk crates with bottles of fancy beer wired into place--these were Father’s Day gift ideas today. Pretty cool. Startlingly interesting little find in an unexpected spot.

The previous review is outdated. Norm’s now has 25 beer coolers, and most of these are dedicated to craft brew. Massive selection and constantly expanding. Build your own 6-pack from craft singles, which is a great way to try new beers. Old-timey beer signs and TVs with old beer commercials are a nice touch. Propane and Shell gas also, for a one-stop shop. I love this store!

A convenience store that now carries 2 shelves of craft beers. several dozen 22oz and 4 and 6 packs. Dogfish head, Port Brewery, Elysian... selection is solid.
