Bottleworks does good works. A robust micro- and international beer selection, complemented by a relatively small but potent selection of chocolates. They offer tastings on Tuesdays, present festivals, and team up with various brewers to construct interesting (mainstream-straying) beers. A bit pricey (Wallingford rents, I assume), so unless you’re remarkably gung-ho about supporting local businesses, some of the basics would be more cheaply purchased elsewhere. The remainder of their inventory (most of it) consists of brews you’re unlikely to find elsewhere.
