UFS Downtown Outlet Center

Kind of an weird/interesting place - like a ghetto version of Sam’s Club/Costco. Didn’t walk around the rest of "the club" but they did seem to have a pretty big alcohol section, beer, wine, and spirits. Beer selection was OK, slightly above average I guess. They did have a small build your own 6 pack section. Prices seemed pretty fair. Not bad if you are in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

A nice selection stuck in a long row besides all the wine. Out of the way in downtown peoria but no big deal. A good amount of beer featuring a lot of different breweries but not a ton of beers from each brewery. Not to sure how well they handle and store their beer but Im sure it isn’t any worse than some places.

Good selection of American Micros and imports. Was happy to see Three Floyds Alpha King. Staff was more knowlegable about wines than beer. However, were very customer-friendly

Color me surprised. Hadn’t been in UFS for quite some time, but I was lured in by a print add offering 12 packs of Celebration Ale @ $11.99. Much to my delight, they’ve *dramatically* expanded their selection of beer, wine and spirits since my last visit. Spent $200 on a significant stash of the aforementioned Celebration Ale, as well as a variety of craft ales, Belgians, wine, and spirits. Hey, it’s the holidays! Good cross-section of American craft beers, decent selection of European/Belgian brewers, wines ranging from $2-100/bottle, and a good selection of spirits, from the mundane to the sublime. Staff was helpful and pleasant. A great find!
