Tears in Heaven: Popular Sanlitun beer supermarket is closed

Okay, maybe not tears, but word is rain accumulated on the roof at Heaven Supermarket and did enough damage that this treasure trove of beer just west of Nearby the Tree is closed. I stopped by earlier this afternoon and found no one who could confirm this story, only a bright multicolored tarp that serves as strong evidence, or perhaps an artistic statement on the part of the owners. Anyway, I assume Heaven Supermarket will be back in business soon given its popularity with a diverse crowd, due to its location, it low prices and its impressive range of brews.
