Now this is the place to go for beer geeks in North San Diego County. I live in Carlsbad and this place is always my go-to for hard to find beers. They have an extensive selection of local, but primarily imported beers. Rarities occasionally make an appearance, such as limited release Lost Abbey beers, and recently Deschutes Abyss was available. Classic Belgian ales are usually there, with Rochefort 10’s constantly in the lineup. Huge wine selection, of course, if thats your thing. Old place that feels very quaint. The walk-in ’fridge in the rear sometimes houses hidden gems as well. Helpful staff that will answer any beer / stocking questions you have. Worth the drive inland for sure.

I wish there were two listings for this store, one for their online presence and one for the actual store. The actual store is a pretty fine beer store, but it’s not a 98 overall store. Selling Pliny online makes it a 98? Staff was friendly and helpful, lots of beers in the walkin cooler, pretty nice store.

Holy cow! I’m able to get Pliney sent to me in Georgia. Great service...these folks called me several times to update me on whether or not the Pliney arrived and had some other great suggestions for west coast IPAs. I did some damage but am thrilled with my order!

The place to go when you’re looking for something you can’t find at your local liquor store, or even BevMo. Great selection of top-end beers, wines and spirits, as well as cigars. One of only 3 places in North County SD(that I know of) that carries Pliny the Elder regularly. But get there quick because its gone almost immediately.

Every year I’ve visited the West Coast I’ve visited this place. I’ve met the owner and the beer manager. Thought they were professional and very helpful. While I do shop at other stores, I go here to get some of the region’s hard to find beers. I will make a note to myself to call before visiting so that they are there (see other comments).

I’ve been here many times. Classy feel to it, especially if you go downstairs to check out the wine. The beer selection is top notch. The last time I was there they put almost all the beer in the walk-in cooler. They did keep some cases of recently released beers outside of the cooler, and it seemed like they were still moving things around so next time I stop by I will update. Plenty of glasses too. Service is great. Just a great place to get awesome beer, and if you visit, do go downstairs and check out their setup.

A great place to order online. Awesome customer service. The selection is decent though some stuff is out of stock. I’d order here again.
