Great Selection of Import & Craft US beer. Really well laid ouit store (easy to navigate). Good prices and was able to buy some really good beer goblets that I brought home with me. Some real gems in the beer cooler; I will be back!

This place was unbelievable. All the beer is in a walk in cooler, lots of singles and local stuff like Russian River, Alesmith, Lost Abbey, etc. If you are in OC, you need to stop here.

Big beer, wine, spirits, tobacco and gourmet food place tucked away behind a big strip mall. The place is really nice but the beer area is tucked away in a more unfinished area which is still nice and organized. Service was great, someone asked if we needed any help and made some nice suggestions. Selection was really good, lots of California micros, US micros and imports. Value was great on most things while some bottles seemed a tad bit high. Overall a great bottle shop, definitely stop by if you’re in the area and see that they have.

Semi residential location with big walk in cooler, all the standards plus a few not seen everywhere else, good store if you are in the area, wish they still shipped here

My go to beer store during a recent work trip to the OC. They have a walk in fridge with brews sorted by country. I found so many gems that I had been looking for. Bought some glasses as well - their collection is stellar. Service is hit or miss - a few people have been incredibly friendly and helpful while some others have been a bit stand offish. This place rules and I could see myself being a regular if I lived here.

Visited here on my way back from Hollywood. Its kind of tricky to find. Very nice walk in beer cooler with many gems that you don’t normally see in Socal stores. Prices were quite reasonable, I picked up a couple of Odonata Saisons for $5 each. I did not require any assistance but I feel that I had I needed any help would have been available.

I was initially concerned as I turned onto Ogle (from Orange) to see what appeared to be a residential area. I almost missed the place at first, but was able to slow down and make it into the parking lot. I walked in through the main entrance to see quite the expanse of cigars, wines, and spirits. I was (again) a bit confused until I looked to my right to see a hallway were I could see some cooler doors and a walk-in cooler through a hallway. The initial confusion was quickly replaced with a feeling of elation. There are about 6-8 cooler doors and a substantial pile of cases to the left of the doorway. Next to/behind the cooler doors is a large walk-in cooler where there is even more good stuff. Lots of, well, just about everything. Plenty of German beers, a pretty good selection of Belgians, as well as other imports such as Mikkeller and Nogne-O. All the usual suspects from CA and the west coast, and quite a few you don’t usually see (most notably Kern River, Mammoth, and Caldera). Plenty of stuff from DFH, Flying Dog, New Belgium, HotD, Russian River, The Bruery, Stone, Deschutes, North Coast, and more (too many to name). I wish I had more money to spend here because I could have easily bought a few cases full of beer (I went conservative and only bought one case worth).

This place is huge, typical bevmo type ambiance. The beer selection is extensive, but I didn’t see anything super rare. The scotch and wine selection is also very good. Definitely worth a drive to check it out if you are in LA

This place is the shit. All their beer is in walk in cooler. Singles available. Tons of local brews including tons of Alesmith, Russian River, Lost Abbey, and Alpine. Had Deliverance for $16 which was $8 cheaper then Hollingshead. Another must stop in the OC.

There is no better beer store in SoCal. None! This place is huge and has tones of wine and liquor but the beer room - a big walk in filled to the gills is amazing. If they don’t have it, good luck finding it. Decent pricing, easy parking. A++
