Editorial Review for Bierkraft – by Kat Kinsman

The Scene
Suds connoisseurs will no doubt find their jaws dropping at the astonishing array of imported beers chilling in the nearly store-length fridge. Said jaws may actually detach and hit the floor once the price tags are spotted. While one could conceivably break the bank catering a soiree with provisions from this pricey Fifth Avenue gourmet grocery and beer emporium, no doubt the guests would be left with fond memories of the evening's hard-to-find Italian sausages and rare Belgian brews while you're off in debtor's prison.

The Goods
There are, however, ways to recoup the cost. Perhaps by eating one's weight in samples at the well-stocked, brilliantly footnoted cheese counter, or with a sandwich made fresh with ingredients from the sophisticated deli counter--a steal at $8. Bierkraft also hosts frequent tasting events, with generous portions of featured beers and cheese, and guest speakers to boot.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

It's more likely the staff member you interacted with was dead tired from working at a place where so many people enjoy shopping. Since the day it opened, Bierkraft has served up not only the finest, freshest selection of beeyas in the tri-state, but a friendly attitude as well. I support my local bodega, but when you want to go beer shopping, there's no other choice. Bierkraft rocks.

Pros: freshness

Cons: hours / an hour later please!?

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

Incredibly overpriced, and the salesperson I interacted with was downright rude. Go to the deli next door - they have a decent selection and its half the price.

Pros: Can't think of one

Cons: Rude staff, overpriced, overrated
