Pike St. Beer & Wine. Generally good selection for the beer-snob, although not as mind-numbingly comprehensive as Wallingford’s Bottlewerks. Still, I can’t imagine any beer-ophile not being able to drop a quick $20 (or more) for some of the available product, which includes a reasonably good selection of both international (heavy on the lowlands, natch) and domestic craft brewers. Didn’t pay much attention to the wine selection, but they do have several varieties of meads, which are a welcome addition at this time of year.
Still, spot-check pricing for some of the more common items; while the one-stop shopping is a plus, some of their domestic selections look a tad overpriced compared to the local grocer just up the street.
