I didn't like beer either until I visited England and Scotland and had the good stuff. Oh, and a beer festival on the waterfront in Portland further introduced me to microbrews. I drink a lot more wine, but now enjoy the occasional beer. It could be a nice addition to your store.

That said, a lot of the wine stores here don't sell beer (not taking into account the grocery wine departments). But the one that I know of that does sells a ton of it. The owner is really into beer himself though and carries lots of harder-to-get brewskies.

If you go for the larger space, why not try it? If you find that's not your audience, then you could phase it out later. Some of it depends on who your customers are. It could be a cash cow.

I'll get you off an email with the story. Sorry to delay, but am involved in the sale of a house right now and it's eating up my free time (but not much longer, I hope).
