Latest reviews from Eagle River
| 64 /100 Trig’s - Eagle River (Beer Store) 925 E. WALL STREET “Typical of all the Trig's with the separate Cellar 70 location. This one had a laughably pathetic BYO section. But the beer selection is good. Got an Old Nation IPA 4 pack that was canned 13 days ago (and it's good). Decent prices. Old lady customer was hilarious. Worth a stop if in the area.“ |
| 76 /100 1106 BLUEBIRD ROAD “Not really a warehouse but it feels like it. Medium sized taproom with a decent sized bar. Walk-ins behind the bar. And an old-school IPA on tap. So feels like walking back in time a bit. Staff (I assume the owners) were very friendly and helpful. Beer prices decent. Beers all approachable. No flaws, but nothing too interesting. Free peanuts and popcorn. 4 packs, growlers to go. Nice outdoor area. Worth a stop if in the region.“ |
| 68 /100 Trig’s - Eagle River (Beer Store) 925 E. WALL STREET “I met the beverage department manager at Trig’s during the Great Northern Beer Festival, and decided to cap off my visit to Eagle River with a stop at Trig’s. They had a very nice selection of bottled beer for a grocery store, and even had a shelf of 12 ounce singles, which I thought rather unusual for a non-liquor store.
I was most pleasantly surprised at their focus on Wisconsin area crafts. While I did not find Lake Louie in this store, they did stock most of Central Waters’ line-up, in addition to Southshore and some other brewers I’d never heard of (I bought some 22 oz bottles from Hereford & Hops, which I’d never heard of). All the other usual craft/import suspects were present as well...and there was of course the omnipresent big packs of BMC although the majority of the cooler space was dedicated to high-end beer.
I didn’t engage the help...the one guy working seemed knowledgeable but an older gentleman was taking his time. Prices seemed reasonable.
Your beer-buying options are limited in Eagle River, and they are lucky to have this as an option.“ |
| 72 /100 Trig’s - Eagle River (Beer Store) 925 E. WALL STREET “Trig’s is a mid-sized regional grocery store, part of a chain of 4 in the north woods of Wisconsin, with an astonishingly good selection for such a low-population-density area. Special releases from Capital, New Glarus and Tyranena in quantity when I visited in late July, most of the significant Wisconsin micros, a small singles selection and a fair number of Germans and some odds and ends makes for a nice change from the typical 30-pack-heavy stores in the area. Service was surprisingly knowledgeable and helpful, too -- the clerk pointed me towards an upcoming beer festival and could name most of the brewers attending!“ |
