Cost Plus World Market–Polaris

I had the opportunity to visit the Polaris location of Cost Plus World Market.  In addition to all the usual World Market products like food, furniture, wine, lamps, etc., they also offer a nice selection of craft and imported beers.

The staff at this location were friendly and nice, but didn’t hover or push… exactly what I like to find in a store.

On the shelves, I found products from a lot of the more familiar names in the craft beer scene such as Rogue, Southern Tier, Founders, Brooklyn Brewing, Samuel Adams, Great Lakes, Thirsty Dog, and New Belgium.  I also found imports from the UK, Japan, Italy, Germany, Belgium, China, Thailand, Mexico, and India – among others.  A lot of Ohio breweries are represented on their shelves as well, including Fat Head, Jackie O’s, Rivertown, Great Lakes, and Mt. Carmel.  I counted over 200 unique beers on the shelves.

The store offers bombers, multi-packs, and even a create-your-own six-pack deal that allows you to mix and match several beers in a single purchase.

In addition to craft and imported beer, you’ll also find beer mugs and beer gift sets.  They had several of the Monty Python Holy Grail/Ale gift sets which included two bottles of Black Knight Reserve bundled with a ceramic Holy Grail cup.  (The price on that particular set was under $28.)
