Great place to buy your everyday craft beers, with prices to compete with Binny's. Huge coolers filled with classic micro 4-packs and 6ers from the area and beyond (Bells, Founders, Goose Island, Arcadia, Three Floyds, Green Flash), and a great selection of 750s and 22oz bottles.

But -- Ryan is the reason to come here. He's the beer buyer, and he knows his stuff. Find him, tell him your passions (um, beer passions), and he will go out of his way for you. A couple weeks ago, he went from the floor out onto the dock and took apart a pallet just to get me a bottle of Bitches Brew that had literally just come in. He ensured I got two 2010 Nemesis. Incredible. And at great prices.

So, go find Ryan in specialty. He's making his store a beer geek destination.

This location opened a year or two ago, and i've been in once every 6 months on average. It's huge...the "ace in the hole" here is that there's an in-house bbq smoker, and bar with some craft beer on tap. That's right, you can get smoked brisket with a decent beer for lunch here. Yum. The bar and seating area are in the "middle" of the store, so you'll have to navigate to a center aisle, and head to the back (or just float in the air, guided only by your nose and the sweet scent of smoky pork). The taps weren't anything too exciting, but they typically have a Goose Seasonal, 2 Bros., and a Leinies.

The beer selection was on the side furthest from the parking lot entrance, a long aisle cooler with a ton of craft sixers, with bombers and 750s towards the front. A few warm shelves and craft case displays too. The nice thing is their sales often include decent craft beer. They had craft staples like Founders, Southern Tier, Goose, 2 Bros., Bells, and some eclectic imports as well. The beer buyer is a BA, so you know to expect quality. This is in the top 3 WFM in the city, #1 Lincoln Park, #2 Sauganash, #3 South Loop.

The location is right of 94 on the NW side of Chicago, so there's easy access to the highway.
