Keenan Gorgis at Curtis Park Market
For years, the little corner market at 24th Street and Second Avenue in Curtis Park was just like any other Stop and Shop-type stores: dusty and stocked with junk food and 40 ouncers. Then Keenan Gorgis bought the place in 2012 and started stocking some of his favorite brews. Slowly, largely via word of mouth, Gorgis' shop evolved into a craft-beer nirvana, earning him a reputation as the go-to guy on all things hoppy, malty and ABV. Sure, you'll still find convenience-store staples (the same old Bud Light or Miller High Life swill), but there are also shelves upon shelves of Belgian, French and German imports—not to mention a healthy sampling of Sac's best local brewers. Don't worry, you can still pick up a can of Pringles and a Slim Jim, too. Dinner, yo.
