On a whim I stopped in this little liquor store on Como just east of Dale in St. Paul called Abetto’s. Very nice craft beer selection, plus build-your-own 6ers with a 10% discount (which I have been missing since Cellars on Larpenteur closed). Who woulda thunk?
Anywho, just a shout-out here for a lesser-known liquor store with a fine beer selection! Cheers to you Abetto’s!
I have found Liquor Village (2289 Ford Pkwy) right down from Haskell’s has a pretty good selection. Knowledge base isn’t the best. But good selection of sixers and large bottles. Lots of american and belgian craft beers.
Yeah, there are a lot of smaller less known stores that are doing great things for craft beer. Also, you can often find some real gems at these places: I once found a few bottles of 3 year old Avery Czar for a mere $4 each!
Aren’t Abetto’s and Liquor Village linked up somehow?
I prefer the former to the latter, but both are nice enough retailers.
A co-worker of mine is in a band that played at Abetto’s. I had no idea there was a liquor store as well as a bar/band venue.
Thanks for the head’s up.
