Some of our readers weren't happy when we announced the forthcoming of a new beer and wine store in downtown Homewood. Here's what folks are saying now that is finally open.

• "Love it!"
• "it's beautiful and I have only heard positive reviews!"
• "Love it! The place is fabulous and the staff couldn't be nicer."
• "Who wasn't happy? I love it. Excited to go back. I think that some of the staff could probably be a little better educated on beers and breweries, but, I'm sure that will come with time."
• "Can't wait to try it"
• "... very happy.. A beautiful store with great brews!"
• "so glad they opened, super new addition to Homewood."
• "I thought it was beautifully laid out, great decor! I enjoyed sitting at the bar sharing a bottle of wine with my daughter and friends!"
• "Damn fine place, cheeky and powerful beers on tap, decent selection of ciders."
• "The place is just what we need. I have heard nothing but positive reviews."
• "I loved it!"
• "It's a great place and I had a very nice time trying new beers with my husband. The owner and employees are very friendly and knowledgeable too. I'd go many more times."
