Stopped here today chasing the white whale of 10 dollar four packs of Goose Island Imperial IPA (In case you were curious, I didn't find any this cheap).

The beer selection was typical of the other Trader Joe's that I've visited in the Chicagoland area. Not great, but definitely not macro based. If you live nearby or if you need to buy a few other specialty items for dinner or something then this is a decent place. But only a few miles away is a Binny's which has much better selection.

Goose Island had a few beers here (Christmas Ale, IPA), there are North Coast (Pranqster, Red Seal, Old Rasputin) and the Trader Joe's beers brewed by Gordon Biersch are available too. Nothing fantastic, but like I said, if you need something else or you just need a session beer for home then this is worth a stop.

Service, Value and Quality was typical of other Trader Joe's.
