Where's a good liquor store with a good beer selection?

I've been to Quinton's it was pretty good, also went to Blind Tiger, it's over rated imo, and the beer wasn't that great

The best one is Fleming Place Wine & Spirits at 10th and Gage.
Haven't been there, why would you consider it the best?
Selection, and it's proximity to the places I hang out at in Topeka. That being said, I haven't been to many liquor stores in Topeka, but my friends from Topeka all thought it was the best.
Now confirmed

this is the closest liquor store to me.  only reason to go to it.  FACT.

Fact:
mcfarlands is vastly underrated because of their average clientele.

And the fact that their meals are about half the size of what I'd call an average meal size.

eff, that list is amazingly horrible. Topekans love the crap out of chain restaurants and all things mass media delivered.  It is one of the very, very worst towns in America.

I was born and raised there. I am a survivor.

Me too. I go to a "Topeka Survivor" support group on Thursday nights. Not sure I could have gotten through life without it.

I was gonna say this too. If your town's favorite burger is from a massive corporate chain than someone needs to open a new burger place.
