700 craft beers?!! Yes please!! I mean, wow, just wow. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've driven past this Shell gas station and just admired how "classic 50's style gas station" it looked and never stopped there for gas or even ventured into the mini-mart.
Today was one of those days I was really pushing my "---" status on my vehicle and I was too tired to try my luck at gaslight warning roulette. While at the pump, I saw a sign on the mini-mart door that said "700 craft beers". Either I was just exhausted and hallucinating or this was in fact the best thing I've ever read posted on a gas station mini-mart front door. At this point, I had totally given up on gas station mini-mart beer selections and I've sadly conditioned myself to "like" Coors light due to the lackluster selection you find at these "convenient" stores.
Well this "700 craft beers inside" was not a hoax to get you into this Shell Gas Station mini-mart, it's 100% legit. If you love and appreciate craft beer and you live in the Miami area, you must get to Biscayne Gas ASAP.
I like to think that I'm very well versed in "beer" and craft beer and I've known and worked with a few cicerones in my time but this little mini-mart put my craft beer knowledge to shame. I would walk down each aisle and be comforted that I was aware of such beer on the shelf and then bam, it was like every 3 beers I was face to face with a stranger. Sheer amazement. I could spend hours in this place.
The atmosphere here is unlike any gas station mini-mart I've ever ventured to in my life, you hear the gas station attendant talking "craft beer" with a customer and you are surrounded by an army of MiMo hipsters. Like seriously, where am I??
The reason I am knocking off a star is because I felt the beer selection very disorganized and lacked a logical organizational flow. I'm a type A, what can I say? It was also a busy Saturday night in Miami.
I will definitely be back and next time I want to meet the mastermind behind this wonderful concept.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL GAS STATION MINI-MARTS: Miller lite is gross and Stella was so 2004. It's 2015. Get with the times. Carry craft beer. Thank you. - All Americans read more
