City View Liquor

Been going here since it was called Alpine Liquor. It's 12 minutes closer for me to go to Woodman's, but there's considerable reason for me to go out of my way and stop by City View instead. Yes, they may be a little more expensive than the old W, but not by much. It's quality over quantity here: They have hands-down the best selection of craft beer in Madison. You'll find the old stand-bys as well as an unmatched selection of hard to find and unique offerings that you won't find anywhere else. The kind guy that does the ordering and seemingly runs the place has an obvious and vast knowledge of the industry and is always able to give good recommendation if needed. An essential on the far East of Madison.

Great selection and the guys are always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend????????????????

The prices are solid but selection seemed more hyped up than what I found. They have some solid beers from good breweries, but not nearly as much as I had expected based on reviews and pictures. Staff didn't even bother to say hello when I had decided to greet them(expecting some form of such before I bothered to do so). I'll probably stick to woodman's from now on unless I find somewhere with similar selection.

Been a frequent at this place for a year now after moving to the neighborhood... This place is pretty incredible. Great selection (well rounded for all tastes), and a knowledgeable staff to equally match. Real classy crew!

Great selection. Had the Wisconsin brewery I was looking for (3 Sheeps). Informative and friendly staff.
