This place is insanely packed with beers and just about every other variety of alcoholic indulgence known to man. Loosely organized into three sections (craft, Belgians, other imports), it is otherwise a beer free for all. It is listed here that there are 400+ different beers, but I’m willing to bet there are over 1000. My biggest beef is that space is so cramped, they had piled a palette of wine boxes in one of the beer aisles, making most of the selection in that aisle inaccessible. I’m sur it was a temporary thing, but seeing as I won’t be making it back there soon, I was disappointed. Cool storeif you don’t mind bit of chaos.

Topps is a pretty cool little place. Its a liqour stoe attached to a small bar. Not a lot of room in the bar but they always have nice beers. On the expensive side

Lots of rarer brews discovered here but it is like an Easter egg hunt. Bottles are randomly grouped together, particularly their European and foreign offerings. Haven’t ever visited when there weren’t tons of boxes, and I mean tons, stacked throughout. Have to peek and maneuver through them to find what you are looking for...definitely annoying. Have no idea how they know what they have. Not a lot of cooler space either. Would choose Sun Devil every time.

Great selection. Bar attached to the beer store. Found my first Deschutes Abyss here. End of a great day in a soulless city.

Seems to be an above average selection all at room temperature and far fewer stored cold in the frig. So obviously one needs to beware of delicate beer not in the frig. For my visit I grabbed up an Anchor Humming that was sitting at room temperature and it tasted fine. I see a nice selection of local brews and very nice west coast US overall. I liked the large selection of Eastern European brews. It seems the high ABV stuff should be fine stored here at room temp. The couple Lithuanian 9% brews I grabbed turned out to be fine. As you’re at the register and look down the aisle to the right you can see the doorway into Taste Of Tops, my next stop today.

I am from Iowa. Tops has a great selection of liquor and beer. The owner was nice and you get a 10% with at least a case purchase.

Tops does have a large selection of beers, that others have mentioned, but like their sister location, Sun Devil, there are bottles that are certainly years old. That would be ok if the beers were properly stored, but they are not. The temperature can get quite hot inside the store during the gruelling summer months and it is caveat emptor in buying some of the beers. Now, they do get all the new releases and that is the only reason I go there. Could be a great place, but the QC issues here make me rate this place much lower that it should be.

visited during the RBWG. Nice place right next to Taste of Tops with a really nice selection of beers and a better import isle than the stuff we get in Tucson. I would have to guess this is one of the best in the state.

Hit this up as part of RBWG, ended up picking up the vast majority of the beers I took home with me here. The store is well-lit, and has a FANTASTIC selection, but the inventory control doesn’t seem to be that strong, many bottles are dusty, or not priced, or impossible to find. Many IPAs look like they’ve been there YEARS, and having the Alesmith IPA sitting at room temperature on the shelf seems like a bit of a tragedy. All that said, the selection really does make this a can’t-miss stop, and anywhere that has THREE different Fantome bottlings on the shelf is alright by me.
