Binny’s Beverage Depot - Algonquin

Great selection of beers. Very knowledgeable staff.

The look is typical of most big box stores with an exposed ceiling and harsh fluorescent lights. That is pretty much the only place this Binny’s loses points. Talked to their "beer guy" for about an hour about all the stuff I was looking for (I made a special trip 6 hours to grab a load of stuff). All kinds of of great stuff I found here. Some Dogfish, FFF, SA Barrel Room beers, Bruery, and Boulevard. They also have the foreign beers broken up by country so it’s a lot easier to tick them off your list. Prices tend to be a little higher than I’m used to, but only .50-$1 at most. Overall, I can’t wait to come back for a visit.

Binny’s has the best pricing in the area. Very solid bottle selection. fine mix of 6 packs and bombers.

This has become my local binnys and thier newest and now protical store they are said to have over 2000 beers second next to the south loop store, Jim the beer guy is real good about getting what you want,if he can some of the beers never get out of the south loop store though and one of the best thing about this store is that they use ratebeer shelftags not that other site who shall be nameless when ever I go in here I am always greeted and served I just wish they would have a build your own sixer

The Binny’s has it all - selection, customer service, special events and did I mention selection!? One of the largest foreign beer selections I have seen in the area. More American micro and craft brews than you can shake a stick at. A lot of the special 22 oz bottles tend to end up here rather than at the McHenry location. A very large selection of Macro cases in a huge freezer area. Prices are the same as all Binny’s, high but you pay for the very unique brews like Flossmoor, Fort Collins 22 oz just to name a few. Seem to have all the new brews out as soon as they hit the shelves. If your into wine they have a ton in that area, as well as rare spirits and a large selection of common and more unique spirit brands. Service is fantastic. A short, heavier set gentlemen works in the beer department and can recommend some damn fine beers, give you a heads up new brews they are getting soon as well as talk about beer as long as you want too. Overall a fantastic place and well worth the once (or twice or thrice) a month drive to see what they have offer over the local small Binny’s here in McHenry.

Great store! Not much ambience, kind of the big box store of alcohol but the selection is phenomenal and the staff knows a lot about their products. Brand new!
