76 Don’t let the appearance fool you, it’s a place to visit. Really good selection of beers. Pick a six selection is poor but a lot of bombers and 6-packs. Good bargains, ie. all White Birch bombers for $4.99 when I visited. Friendly service and affordable prices. |
78 Kinda out of the way for me, but I’ll make the trek every once in awhile for the the Belgian and German selection and also their other country selections. Otherwise pretty standard selection. |
82 Very nice store with a great selection of both local and out of state/country brews. Large coolers as well as shelves. No particular system, so a bit of a treasure hunt. A lot of 6-packs but no singles unless you go for 22 oz or higher. |
86 Big and roomy place with a really well organized selection. Very friendly staff, most beer is in coolers which is great. With the drive if you’re at the mall. |
98 One of my all-time favorite stores. Too bad I didn’t discover it until a few months before I moved from Burnsville. Ah, I miss it so much and visit whenever I’m back in town. |
90 They literally carry everything that is distributed in MN. The prices are fair and the staff is knowledgeable. Excellent. |
90 This is one of the best beer stores I’ve had a chance to visit. Its a stand alone building next to a shopping center with plenty of parking. What makes this place great I’d that they have nearly everything refridgertated. They also have a lot of stuff and it’s quite a curated selection. They have a fantastic cider selection. One of the best I’ve seen. They have a pretty solid mead selection. They have a ton of reginonal and national craft. They have a cooler that’s almost entirely filled with Rogue beers. Beer is helpfully separated by country. They also have a cooler with Various verticals of Lees Harvest ales. The only debit is that the pick six section needs work but that’s what Zipp’s is for. Definitely a destination place. |
76 Visited this place last November, and thought I plopped in a rating, at that time, but, obviously, I didn’t. Has a decent feel to it. Nothing spectacular, in terms of layout, ambiance, or anything, but I’m of the position - the shittier, the better. The beer selection is fairly nice. They have a lovely selection of 22 oz. bottles, but I was surprised to notice that they were lacking on singles. I can’t say completely lacking, as I remember there being some, but nothing like Heritage. The cooler section was nice, and had a couple of beers that I didn’t see at Heritage. The prices were a little higher than what I noticed at other places, but not by much. Overall, Blue Max has a nice selection, and believe me - I had to struggle to keep my bill below $100, but I did. I think the good thing is, is that, since they don’t have singles, you’re more likely to find the beer you want, as a six-pack is a commitment vs. a single which, if you don’t like it, you purchased one. Anyways, I can’t speak to location, in terms of convenience. The service was fine, but I never really care too much about that, just as long as people aren’t rude. |
78 Stopped on a Wednesday night, Employees were restocking lots of beer, but no one offered any help to me, which actually is just fine. Lots of old beer and 1200+ beers may be accurate if you count the hundred different mass lagers they have. selection was okay, not overly impressed though.. sorted by country.. really the only gem I found was a 2007 Pannepeut. Other than that there is a LOT of beer here, and if you’re looking for obscure stuff they have that too but not a huge amount of new hot beers, or high quality beer. |
84 Was here last year on a trip to the Twin Cities. A huge selection, helpful staff. Hard to choose because there’s so much. The only down side is that you need to watch the expiration dates, as some beers have expired and are still on the shelves. Still, it’s well organized (by country) and it’s one of the largest selections I’ve seen in a beer store. |
