I was staying in nearby Santa Clarita, so when I saw this place was rated so highly, I made it a must-stop. Stopped in to see if there was any Pliny available (there wasn’t as they were between batches). There was a guy there stocking the beer shelf, and saw that he was the "Beer Expert" pictured on a nearby wall. We chatted a bit, and he looked up on his phone where I could find Pliny on-tap if at all. Really nice guy. I can’t remember his name, so I won’t guess. On to the beer...they carried a really good selection from what I have experienced with this store. Maybe it’s because CA just has so much good beer. Lots of my faves that I can’t get back home available: Deschutes, Goose Island, Firestone Walker, Port, Lost Abbey, etc. Really great store with competitive prices. If ever in the area again, this will be where I "fill up" for the week.

One of the better Whole Foods in the greater Los Angeles area. Casey is the beer buyer and does a great job. I emailed him a little while back and asked if he had any _______ [limited release beer] in stock. He did, and offered to set 2 bottles aside for me for over a week (no credit card or anything). Wide selection of very good stuff (both Belgian and Californian). Full line ups from Alesmith and Russian River with some Lost Abbey beers as well. A couple things you don’t see very often in LA proper: Island Brewing beers and such like that. Ratebeer shelf tags in full force. Everything else about the store is typical Whole Foods. I did also see some decent sake, including a well priced Koshu. All in all a worthy stop if you are in the area.
