RateBeer Brew Tour Guide's Comments
Arnie stocks the best beer aisle in the East Bay. Beers vary by the day but don’t be surprised to Westy12, Rochefort, Aachel, Pinkus, Scotch Silly, Lee’s Harvest, Hercule, Big Daddy IPA, Rogue beers, Bear Republic, etc. You can also occasionally find Belgian magnums and double magnums and special promo packs with glassware. Check around the corner for cigars, cheeses, wines.

Decent selection, as most upscale grocery stores, but otherwise, just a great grocery store. Maybe at one point in time it was awesome. | | Davecooks (43), Bay Area, California | | February 4, 2008
Great selection of beers. Knowledgeable staff. The parking sucks though. | | bhensonb (244), Woodland, California | | September 4, 2007
There were 3 or 4 surprises. Bought 8 I had not rated. I think all the Whole Foods replaced a third or so of their beer wall with non-beer. Still, lots of choices, and you can buy individual bottles. Ommegeddon; Russian River Sanctification; Butte Creek Revolution XI; Drie Fonteinen; Santa Cruz Mountain. The Westy days are likely over; have not heard of anyone being able to stock it for the last three years or so. | | bitter (93), Henderson, Nevada | | April 10, 2006
i have never seen a westy 12 here or at any whole food market. the beer selection is definately good for grocery store standards. but it is definately hit or miss. | | y0c_ola (21), fremont, California | | March 24, 2006
this place sucked. i was completely disappointed by the selection. nothing that any other whole foods in the bay area didnt have, and any decent liquor store for that matter. that essential star should be removed completely.
AS it stands right now 3/24/2006, i would not recommend visiting this place unless you’re bored out of your mind in berkeley. but seems like it USED to be an essential. big let down | | Aquilo (12), California | | January 14, 2006 [ Updated July 9, 2006 ]
This is my corner store, believe it or not. The selection is not bad, but there are better selections in Berkeley. ETA: Their selection seems to be getting worse. I can never find anything I want to try. | | beerguy101 (43), Newark, California | | January 6, 2004
nice variety of beers. You never know what will be in stock. |
