Staff is pretty unhelpful, and seem pretty aloof. Like they don’t really enjoy what they’re doing.

Bit of a hike, but worth the trip. Very inviting place in general. Quite a few taps with a really good selection. Someone does a good job keeping up. The bottles selection is pretty big. Staff was very friendly when I stopped in. Prices were pretty standard. I look forward to making it out there again.

Went in here and was amazed by the selection. Good knowledgeable staff. Nice beers on tap. I’ll be coming here a lot.

Online order. One of these years I’ll make it out west and visit some of these places. This one sounds like it would be well worth it. As far as my order, once you get to the online shop and shuffle through the options (I recommend using the search tool) you’ll see that this place has an awesome selection. Good prices too. The Midnight Sun stuff, for example, was cheaper than I’ve seen elsewhere. WA tax is high but shipping, considering we’re talking about WA to FL is reasonable, and no additonal packing charges added on. Excellent service with email confirmation as soon as I placed the order and an email a day or two later when it shipped. I’m trying to limit my online ordering these days but whenever it comes time to place another one I’ll definitely give M&V and look.

Malt & Vine I knew they had a good beer selection but I did not know about the wine or the taps they had going on. 6 different taps at the ready with some killer beers being poured. They have 700 different bottled beers from near and far to the crazy Belgian stuff from Belgium-land. Also have an extensive wine area. Very knowledgeable service I know I will be back when I am in the area.

Finally I made it into Malt and Vine -- nice place. Good selection, a few things I’ve not seen in Seattle proper but not enough to make it a destination spot for Seattle-side folk. Nice bar, interesting set of taps, much appreciated $1 tasters. Not a particularly special ambiance -- think strip-mall deli -- but the rest of the package more than makes up for it. Prices are quite good, 10% cheaper or so than in Seattle.

Perhaps the best bottle shop I’ve ever been to. A solid range of taps, a truly MASSIVE selection of beers, very bright, and clean, with a small sitting area for you to enjoy the draft. Maybe not as quirky (poorly lit and intimidating to non-beer-geeks) as some I’ve been to, but the selection makes up for any loss of atmosphere. Pretty top rate, I don’t think I spent less than $400 when I went.

This place is awesome. Several well stocked coolers, great people working and 15 taps. Can’t ask for much more.

Wow! Maybe it’s not Bottleworks across the bridge, but it’s as good as any beer store I’ve been to outside of Seattle. I drank the Big Time Imperial Amber while I browsed and took home a variety pack from Dick’s in Centralia. VERY experienced and competent staff, and they know the Midwest (Bell’s, Founders) as well as stuff from the NW. Awesome selection; maybe 25 or so Flemish sour ales, if that helps put the total of 900 varieties in perspective. They tap a keg on Wednesday night and have tastings on Friday pm.

Awesome place. Not too far from Renton (where my parents live). You can buy singles of anything, as long as they dont have to "break the box" in order to sell it e.g. Single Wide IPA closed box won’t be sold as a single. Found a lot of cool things here I haven’t seen anywhere else. Service is fantastic. A very chill place to have a beer and do a little shopping at the same time. Glad to have visited, and plan doing so before I leave for Atlanta.
