I was originally gonna go to Dead End while out in Fox River Grove on a Metra trip a few weeks back to watch some of the NFL games, but when I realized I was running out of time till my next train would arrive, I checked this store out instead. Really good selection as far as microbrews go, but I thought it was a little bit of a turnoff that there hardly were any sales going on, vs. other stores carrying a good bit of microbrews and craft beer.
Still, I have to give this store credit, since it wasn't bad. And I even picked one up to go. If you don't feel like trekking to say a Binny's or other grocery chain store(Jewel, etc.) to get beer, this isn't a bad local option to get craft beer at. I'd hope the owner would somewhat step up the number of sales they do, since I noticed much fewer vs. other independent stores carrying craft beers for whatever weird reason. Their wine selection also appeared to be good from what I saw of it, but I paid less attention to that section since I'm not much into wine. read more
