This is the oddest beer store I have ever seen. To purchase beer to go I had to approach a large open window storefront on the sidewalk like a vendor’s stand. Here was hundreds of empty bottles in sight representing their selection. The salesman was very knowledgeable and helpful. All beer is stored in a walk-in cooler which is retrieved upon ordering. The selection is staggering with dozens of beers I wanted. Adjacent to this shop is the bar with 6 quality taps and the huge bottle selection. It’s quite small and intimate. Growlers are available on this side. Fantastic selection, outstanding service, and a pleasantly odd concept.

Update 12/09/10: Have added a wine and beer bar next to package store. Rotating taps and bottles which can be purchased at package store and opened and drank for a small corking fee. Freindly staff with growing knowledge. Nice upgraded location for Cincinnati. On street in Hyde Park with parking in front and across the street. Walk up outdoor store front with single bottle beer selection on shelf rows to show what they have in cooler in the back. Service was good and good knowledge from owner of beer selection. Very good selection of brews. I was on my motorcycle and could not take any brews home. I will come back. Well worth a visit.

Dutch’s is located on Erie in the busy Hyde Park Neighborhood of Cincinnati. It traditionally was a small-ish wine and beer shop but recently added a bar and tasting room. There are 8 taps with a pretty nice selection; I opted for a Brooklyn Cuvee Noire and my buddy got Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere. There isn’t a whole lot of room in the bar area, so it was pretty packed on a Saturday night. I guess that means business is going well. The staff is friendly and pretty knowledgeable. I’ve been meaning to come in here for a long time and never did before I left Cincy, so I was happy to stop in on a weekend visit. I’ll be looking to come back again, as I’ve heard nothing but good things about their hospitality to RBers and beer buyers in general.

Interesting set up, but not a fan of it. Empty bottles line the sidewalk, they either filled with rocks or faded by the sun, ugly. A decent selection of stuff, I was shocked to see Tallgrass tallboys and Rockmill bombers. Service was good, the guy knew his stuff but he was a bit overly nice.

Small, odd, classy, bocce. That about sums this place up. The bar/restaurant has a nice long bar and some communal seating. Upscale decor that gives the place a quiet cool feel. Outdoor space has a few tables, a firepit for the evenings and cool afternoons, and a bocce ball court- which is always nice. Eight taps but they were all high quality so the limited taps isn’t that big of a deal. Large bottle selection/shop that opens to the street in what has to be the oddest bottle shop setup I’ve ever seen. Very neat, though. A few ciders on the menu, too, which was nice. Good selection of wine for the non-beer drinkers. Would frequent the place if I lived nearby.

Let me begin by saying if you want an equal opportunity to get every small release beer without having to make a place your home base, go to Party Source. Dutch’s is a neighborhood bar and bottle shop - and the best in the business. The staff and management are fantastic. They’re great to everyone and take superb care of their regulars. Also, they charged the EXACT same amount for Founders CBS as the brewery did at it’s release party, so you can rest assured you’re getting good prices. This place is the best spot in town. Don’t take my word for it; read everyone else’s reviews.

Came with b3shine. Nice little place had a tap take over and nice bottle selection

Kind of an odd store. Pretty much the selection of Keller’s IGA, all displayed in single bottles. Sixer’s etc are all found in their cooler. Not a store to go out of your way for, but if you are close, a store you should certainly shop. Seemed willing to do special orders. brbr Under new ownership as of June 2007. Selection has improved and from conversations I’ve had with the new owner, it will continue to improve. Definitely worth a stop

Small, cramped looking storefront with bottles everywhere. They have an empty bottle of every beer they carry, and they line the back wall, shelves in the front, and the countertop. The service is excellent. They know their beer, and can find anything they have. They are friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. This is a very unique beer store, but the selection is top notch and the service is great. If I lived in the area, I would be back often.

Parking was a little challenging. Looks like a hotdog strand, but who cares. Empty bottles on display, so you know what they have in the back. All of the beer seems to be refrigerated. I talked to one of the owners and a girl that was working there and both were very nice. Brought a list and they had several bottles, plus they suggested some beers I was additional interested in. Had some Fantome I have been looking for. Selection was a little limited, but quality brews. Service was good and so were prices. I will be back when in the area.
