Friendly and knowledgeable staff equipped to answer any questions and find the perfect beer for you. I am regularly impressed by the attentiveness, variety of beer, and excellent tap selections. One of the only places I have been where you can sip on a beer while browsing a new favorite to take home. The mix and match section also allows for you to bring home a variety to experience an even wider range of beers. They also collaborate with neighborhood bars to ensure their tap offerings are available to take home. You dont want to miss this gem facing Cook Park in the heart of downtown Libertyville.

The CBS has an excellent and changing selection of craft beers and coffee beans, along with some bourbons and wines. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! I have spent many hours chatting with them about beer, and watching them help people find the right beer for whatever occasion/person they are shopping for! Follow them on Instagram and Facebook, and subscribe to their weekly e-mail to know what they got in each week (including limited beers, special releases, bottle shares, etc). Excellent bottle shop - highly recommended!

For those that appreciate craft beer, you will certainly appreciate what the Libertyville Craft Beer Store is doing. Their selection is fantastic. Im greeted every time I stop in. Many times, Ill just ask whats new in stock, or whats popular, so that I get some ideas. Other times Ill just mention what Im in the mood for (i.e. stouts) and ask for suggestions. Usually, theyll walk around the store with you and point things out. Its really great service! You should stop in and check it out - I think youll be happy that you did.

My cousin and I met up here for a quick beer after work and were lucky enough to find Surly Darkness on tap, among other limited release bombers on the shelf. The prices were fair - paid about $8 for surly. Understandably, if youre drinking there, they do limit you to 2 beers since they tap pretty boozy beers. The store owner and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. Overall, this place is a gold mine if youre a beer collector or just looking to have a casual drink afterwork.

Awesome place. Knowledgeable staff, unique varieties. Place has doubled in size since it started. Probably the only place in Lake County to truly provide a great selection of craft beer. They have small batch, barrel age and hard to find bottles for those beer geeks. Samplings are entertaining every week. Owner is a very friendly person and brewery events are encouraging because it shows they care and our passionate about it.

My go to beer store, I was so happy when they opened earlier this year. He gets everything from the now really popular craft beers (Lagunitas, Revolution) to some really rare and specialty beers. I also love that they do a focus on local breweries like Off Color and Only Child. They host a beer tasting featuring a different brewery almost every week, great time to check out some new brews.

Awesome selection, great staff and the cherry on top, you can drink a beer while you check out the great selection (there is more beer here that I have not heard of than I have, much less tasted)! What more could you ask from a beer store?!? Brandon was great, answered or questions and represented the store very well. I am adding this to my must do list for whenever I am in town!

This place opened in August of 2014. Amazing assortment of craft beer. Tons of local selections too. Many of the brews are from the greater Chicago area. Its nice to see such a great collection of local craft beers! They have had tastings on several Fridays. Friendly & knowledgeable staff as well!

Christopher Schweitzer

One of the best selections of craft beer Ive ever seen. Free tasting events with breweries are always a good time. Free specialty tasting events (Hill Farmstead vs. Tree House and Heady Topper vs. Sip of Sunshine) are an amazing touch. People there are very friendly and knowledgeable.

Just moved to the area and Ive been here nearly every day. The selection of FRESH local beers is fantastic as is their inventory from other states. They have 4 draft selections at all times and are frequently pouring from cans for tasters. Staff is super friendly and helpful!

Jared Johannsen

Working harder than most larger known Liquor stores (Binnys) to bring in new or local craftbrews yet to be reviewed or discovered. A real beer community vibe. Just get there when the goings good. What you want may go faster than you can imagine. Damn beer geeks...Get job!

Doug Snook

Fantastic selection of craft beers, with new brews appearing all the time. The staff knows their stuff and can always offer great suggestions. They host weekly beer tasting events as well, and seem to go out of their way to support local craft brewers.

Adam Kasper

Always very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Personalized service and recommendations. This is hands down the best beer store Ive ever been to, and Ive been to quite a few. Good beer always on draft, what more can you ask from a Craft Beer Store?

Brandon P.

Friendly & Knowledgeable Staff. Great selection of local breweries as well as your standard favorites from the East coast to the West coast. Great Pricing. What are you waiting for? Stop reading this and go buy some B-E-E-R!

Gregg Jorgensen

A real nice selection, local breweries in particular. They dont always have everything Im looking for, but theyre willing to look for it and get it if possible. Low key and friendly staff. Go for the weekly beer tastings!

Wheres the beer? All I saw was empty shelves and empty coolers. There are craft beer stores near me in Chicago with twice the amount of beer in a fifth of the space. I dont plan on wasting my time in this store again.

Christopher Wegener

This is a great place to pick up all of your local/hard-to-find/specialty brews! The selection is great, store is clean, and owner, Dave, is a an awesome guy. I love checking out the seasonals in the front of the store.

Jay Cash

Very knowledgeable and friendly owner and staff. Excellent recommendations, selection and pricing. I love surprising family and friends with beer I believe they will enjoy but have not yet tried.

Jerry Langfeldt

Very knowledgable staff/proprietor. I was looking to get into more craft beers, and he was able to steer me in the right direction based on beers I already liked. I have yet to buy a bad beer.

John Prieto

Great craft beer selection. Was able to get a keg of Prairie Bomb for my wedding which was a huge hit. Glad this place is close by and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Don Garcia

Very attentive staff, great selection and variety. They do tastings on Fridays and always have an excellent selection on tap to enjoy while shopping for new and interesting drinks.

Gregg Stern

Great craft beer store in the heart of downtown Libertyville! Great events, taps & they do a great job of letting you know when special new beers have come in.

Erick Yu

Fantastic selection of craft beers. Nick knows his stuff and the guest breweries that come every so often give the place a really casual and friendly feel.

Love the selection and the opportunity to browse without pressure! I buy interesting choices for my husband, who loves the variety and trying new beers!
