It was actually overwhelming at time and all I was doing was asking about Imperial Stouts in what I thought were a few extra minutes on my way from A to B. I came in looking for Dark Fatha (Bent Brewstillery) and received an in-depth explanation of why they didn't carry it at the time. That segued into a discussion of related beers, which ended up with my purchase of a bottle of Surly Darkness that cost more than most bottles of non-wine clue wine that end up in our house. And based on the respect this place places on their wine, beer, and liquor, I'll "uncork" my Surly accordingly.

Located in the Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese is an institution,…read morestarted as a liquor and grocery store in 1934, moving to this location in 1979. Now run by third-generation owners, it expanded to retailing fine wine and cheeses as well. I stopped in to buy some house gifts, and was pleasantly surprised by its very large selection of products, displayed in a way that it was enjoyable to do some 'window shopping'. In my case, I focused on the whiskey's and found what I was hoping for (from the Nikka distillery, a place I had visited a long time ago). But surprisingly it carried American made whiskey (in this case, from the Seattle area) for a price that was lower than what I had paid when actually visiting the distillery itself. I took the time to walk around a bit, noticing that they had an entire section devoted to just German and Austria wines. (Would have been shocked to find wines from Luxembourg, which is on my list). There were also a large beer refrigerated room, as big as any I've seen at big retailers. Of course, it had the beers from the Midwest that are hard to find where I live now (Leinenkugel, Hamm's, and Zywiec). Also noticed a small display of cigars, protected behind locked glass. Ended up getting two Westland Single Malt 750ml for $56.99 each. Checkout was identical to any large liquor store chain (like a grocery store checkout with employees who do checkout and are not really knowledgeable about the products sold).

Sandwiches made from fresh product, drinks to go, no room for dining, there is the adjoining bar which has a gated entrance. Lighting low key, had to take the shades off to better see items.

As you continue to walk forward there is a very large liquor store. I didn't get anything from the meat and cheese shop but it looks like you can get sandwiches and it appears they do various coffee as well. Also they have enough to building a great charcuterie board. The liquor store was the main reason I had come here. I had heard they had a great variety and some harder to find bourbon and they did not disappoint. The selection was great. I interacted with many staff members during my stop and they were all helpful and friendly.
