Timers Beverage Center

Great craft beer selection

the store was a little dirty at the time i was there and some of the people over there were very rude

I supposed I am a bit spoiled living in the burbs of Chicago that when I go to liquor stores farther away or in WI that I am less impressed by their selection. Timer’s is your run of the mill liquor store. They have a good selection and you should be able to find what you’re looking for. For me, I hold liquor stores to a higher standard. They have the average selection of craft beer, pretty much what everyone else has. When I am in WI I try and get Ale Asylum beer and unfortunately they only had one 6 pack. They had plenty of New Glarus which isn’t so bad.
The prices were so so. Some beers /​bottles were a little high and others were about average.
All of the clerks were helpful and very nice.

Whenever I’m driving up from Chicago, I make sure to stop in at Timers Beverage to get my New Glarus beer and Three Lakes wine fix. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I tend to buy a lot of booze and the staff actually takes the time to properly pack everything and are even kind enough to help me place the items in my trunk without me even asking.
The wine/​beer/​liquor variety is excellent. Reminds me of Binny’s in Chicago. I would highly recommend going here if you’re in the area.

Timers not only offers the best service of any liquor store around, but they offer the best selection of beer hands down in the area. Looking for any brew of significance from WI? They’ve got it all and if they don’t, they will get it for you. Not to mention the great beers from CO, IL and out west.

One of my favorite aspects of liquor stores in Wisconsin is that they might still have beers that have sold out in the Chicago area. The fact that New Glarus only distributes in Wisconsin makes it a worthwhile trip in itself, let alone if you are already in the area. Timers is no exception. I was able to pick up Great Lakes Blackout Stout and Bell’s Batch 9000 (both long gone in Illinois), and New Glarus Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart, and Spotted Cow. Score!
The people working at Timers are friendly and helpful. After chatting about their craft beer selection, one of them recommended that I check out their seasonal beer cooler, which was chock full of goodies. They also just started selling to-​go growlers of beer. Right now they have Oberon and Tyranena Down ‘N Dirty Stout. I had already blown through my beer budget, but this is a great addition to their selection.
From the outside, Timers looks like any other liquor store, but the inside is spotless and well-​lit. Never before have I seen a liquor store this easy on the eyes.
Their prices are reasonable across the board. I was there for beer (shocker), but the prices on wine and liquor were good as well. Without trying to do all the math for the difference in sales and excise taxes, the total tax ends up being less than Illinois as well.
Timers is a great place to go to stock up on whatever you need.
