Finally, Party House Liquors has opened in the (generic name of shopping center) along Koke Mill Road.
Taking advantage of Ride Your Bike to the Beer Store Day today, I rode down there to check out the selection. Right now, there’s nothing that the other beer stores don’t have. They did, though, hand me a notebook with instructions to write down what I would like to see.
I took them up on their offer, giving them the names of half a dozen or so brewing concerns, among them the obligatory New Belgium, Kalamazoo (Mich., the brewer of Bell’s products, which in Illinois are sold under the Kalamazoo name), New Glarus (Wis.) and Stone (San Diego) brewing companies.
That’s as good as I could come up off the top of my head. Do you, fellow beer nerds, have any other suggestions? I will be more than happy to make a return trip with your requests, as it’s about a 3-minute bike ride from Casa Communista.
