Show us your “candy store”
Ron refers to his preferred beer retailer as his “candy store” and even posted pictures.
I know of what he speaks. I have stood in the middle of a liquor store, eyes agog and unsure how to start. I feel, literally, like a little kid in the middle of a candy store. “Look at all those treats! I want to try them all! But *sniff* I only have a few pennies. How do I choose?!”
How about you? We want to see your “candy store”. Take a few pictures and tell us why you love it (or hate it).
There are basically two ways for you to participate:
Send us your pictures and what you want to say about each and overall, and we’ll post it up here
or
If you have your own blog, post it there and let us know about, and we’ll link to you.
(You might want to get permission before you start snapping photos. They might think you’re a spy for the competition.)

Norwegian Knut Albert is traveling in Germany and writes on his eponymous blog about a specialty shop in Berlin.
Bier-Spezialitäten-Laden
Sind sie eine Etikettensammler or ein Biergenisser, asks the man behind the counter. Are you a label collector or do you enjoy a good beer? Ein Biergenisser, I reply. When I start picking a few bottles, the [...]

Bill at It’s Pub Night tipped us off to a recent visit he made to Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon.
Next Stop, Belmont Station
The new place is bigger, too. I mean, you could still fit three Belmont Stations into John’s Market over in Multnomah Village, but the inventory is comparable. Belmont may be missing some beers [...]

(Another unsolicited candy store.)
At their eponymous blog Boak and Bailey have touted the virtues of Utobeer in the Borough Market multiple times.
In describing their first visit…

Jon at The Brew Site offers some photos of John’s Market Place he took during his Portland visit last month.
Oh! I almost forgot John’s Marketplace
These are, of course, the tip of the iceberg. There’s a lot of beer there.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
That’s the tune that started going through my head as browsed my local candy store (er, beverage center) for some great beers for the holidays. I have been thrilled with how the store continues to expand the craft and imported beer section. (sometimes I think that with the [...]
