About Before You Go Liquors Chicago

In its Best of Chicago 2012 feature, Chicago Magazine praised Before You Go Liquors as “heaven for lovers of local and imported craft brews.” The store’s shelves creak under the weight of more than 100 craft beers. The libation station emphasizes the kind of small batches and lesser-known microbreweries that chain liquor stores overlook, such as Chicago’s Pipeworks. But Before You Go Liquors doesn’t turn its nose up at name brands: lots of its beer, wine, and spirits sport familiar labels, rather than blank labels with Duff Beer, Patriot Ale, or Glengoole Blue Scotch drawn onto them.
