How long before we can chant "We're No. 1"?
The news just keeps getting better and better for Dilly Deli owners Chuck and Robbie Warriner. It won't be long before they start handing out large foam hands with the pointing finger raised to the sky stating "We're No. 1!"
"Beer seems to attract the kind of folks who love to tell their friends about us, and we thank them for that," the Warriners said. That is because RateBeer.com has just released their newly generated list of the 100 Best Beer Retailers in the World -- and the Dilly Deli is ranked number 12. Over the past few years, the Dilly Deli has been slowly rising on the list. This recent ranking is their highest mark to date.
These ratings are user generated; that is, the people who have been to the Dilly get online and rate the establishment for selection, service, ambiance, etc.
The numbers go into the cruncher and the list is revealed. Ohio in particular, and the Midwest in general, is well represented on the list.
"We must enjoy our beer around here to support so many fine retailers," the owners said. Yet the list is worldwide in scope - the top three are in Florida, Denmark and Massachusetts.
What sets the Dilly Deli apart from the other fine, popular establishments located in the Tri-State?
" Well, there aren't many places where you can shop such a high quality selection while at the same time actually enjoying a cold tasty beer, and in some states, that is actually forbidden," according to the Warriners. "Not to mention the food, the patio, our lovely little Village of Mariemont and our in-house peeps that take care of you! We may not carry everything -- heck, we'd need ten times more room -- but what we do carry is chosen because we think it is excellent."
