Cask N Flask — Local services in Campbell

Stopped by for the first time since this shop changed owners a few weeks ago and their absence can be felt deeply throughout. The customer service, care, and attention to detail that the previous owners took with the store is gone. Now there are empty shelves, empty fridges, everything is disorganized and poorly stocked. Beers that should be stored cold are hot and on the shelves, the styles of beer are all jumbled, bottles aren't faced. There's no order or logic to how the store is laid out. There's used cleaning product bottles on shelves where food is stored.

It's only been a few weeks and it does look like they are putting in some other large refrigerator, however they have a long way to go to get this store back to a place that's worth visiting. It's currently a sad state of affairs. I'll probably give it one more try in a few weeks, but if it hasn't improved I'll have to make the trek out to Maplewood or elsewhere for my...

Been coming here for over a year. Awesome beer selection with hidden gems. The owner is the nicest person ever, literally. She is very attentive and always goes above and beyond to find whatever it is your looking for. Too bad only the older folks know how to respect people and treat them like human beings. The younger guy that works there, only seen him maybe once but definitely came off rude and not very professional. Just kept giving me a blank stare and basically shoved me out the door. I get younger people don't want to work a cash register but seriously it's not that hard to be polite, especially with people that are there all the time. Come early in the morning when the owner is there just opening up, by far the best beer buying experience for a liquor store. I really want to give this place 5 stars but the experience today just won't allow it. Hope it doesn't become a trend but other than that...

Cask N Flask has a good selection of craft beer and rare liquors. Buyer beware on their beer selection! If it's not in the fridge and stored out on a floor, it may be expired and sold at full or marked up price. While many porters, stouts, barley wines and farmhouse ales benefit from aging, none of their cans or bottles are stored at cellar temperatures. I've found (and bought without checking, that's on me) several cans and bottles with a date of 2 years and older. Again, not an issue on a nice barrel aged barley wine, but that old hefeweizen is probably only good for the plants. They have several whiskeys I'd love to take home with me, but with a 2-3x mark up, there's other whiskeys to drink that are cheaper and just as good. Those with deeper pockets will see this as a plus, it'll mean you can find what you're...
