Spirits Warehouse

Formerly Canal’s of Woodbury, it’s now called Spirits Warehouse (name changed within the last week), now with the promise of improved selection, service, prices. I hadn’t been in for years; as recently as 2009 it was a dump, and in 2010 it was still ’disordered’ with very little in the way of quality, essentially just a large place for locals to pick up their daily 40 (this is still true). But everything changes with time, and here in 2013, with tons of new singles (from a complementary distributor that save a drive down to Monster for the things not carried by the closest good store for craft beer, Joe Canal’s on Rt 45), the future looks much brighter. Prices are low on some items and high on others, and they’re still working out some old inventory, but I’ll be back for a proper rating when the kinks are worked out.

I visited here today for my first time through an accident running into it. I have to say the selection is pretty solid, I saw a variety of beers here ranging from Mikkeller’s single hopped beers to Ports Santa’s Little Helper. The problem with the selection is that it’s scattered. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, there’s just beer everywhere. They also do nothing to ensure fresh stock, I saw a few old things here that are over a year past date. I see a huge potential for this place since it has a huge area, it just needs someone passionate to take over the craft part.

Wharehouse store, I think its has a ghood craft beer selction, alittle unorganized, not really much in service, you kinda help yourself, lots of 30 packs chilled and on the floor, prices are about avearge, a good store though for seasonals thats their strong point!

Warehouse style liquor store, not to clean and poorly decorated. friendly people working there with a few barely knowledgable about beer and wine. Good Prices but the beer selection barely changes although the bomber/craft section did expand a bit.

Great craft selection
