Blue Maxx in Burnsville — I’ve heard about that place repeatedly.

Minnetonka & Texas — Texa-Tonka, baybee!

On a related note, I am not aware of any business with a greater disparity between the relative classiness of their website and their physical location than Chicago-Lake Liquor. — Amen to that. WTF? — That’s a cruel joke for the uninitiated. — Heh! … Hmmmm…

Heritage Liquors in Maplewood on English and Frost beats the others, hands down (or mug down). Many have come up in quality, and the Cellars at Lexington/Larpenteur is good, but the guy at Heritage is a beer afficianado. Beer is the real purpose of the store. I can't even call myself a regular, and he treats me like gold, sending me home with samples of never-had beer. In this store, Fat Tire is a mass produced beer.<br /> <br /> Now, if only he could get New Glarus across the state line, he would be worth more than gold.
