Well, no one has yet taken us up on our call to “Show us your ‘candy store’“, but I ran across this recently.
Jason at Brewing the perfect beer waxes on about a trip to Julio’s.
This is an impressive beer store with over 900 different beers to choose from. I was about as excited as a little kid is on Christmas morning, but when I got inside, I found myself overwhelmed…(in a good way). So, after I got myself together, I browsed up and down the ailses in search of some beer.
After about 20 minutes of walking up and down the 4 ailses of beers, i realized I had no idea what I was looking for. I was just a,azed at home many different beers they had, and I wanted them all….and now!! But, cooler heads prevailed, and I paused to reflect on what I really wanted to try, and determined I wanted a little of everything.
Sounds great!

There’s a really cool one, but I can’t remember the name or the town. It’s along I-94 in Minnesota, about 5 or 10 miles north of the Iowa border. Place blew me away with what they had, and all categorized by country of origin.

I grew up in Westborough, MA and Julio’s is the most impressive liquor store I have ever seen. Their beer selection will make a grown man cry. Don’t go there unless you give yourself a minimum of 30-60 mins to walk around and absorb it all in.
Ah, the familiar feeling of near panic when you realise you can only take a handful of beers from a huge selection… I often walk away with nothing because I just can’t choose. We’ve banged on about our ‘candy store’ in London several times — the brilliant UtoBeer at Borough Market.
