Great selection full of hard things to find . Special releases .The best thing in Santa Monica as far as beers

As other reviewers have noted, probably not a joint you’d seek out were it not a stone’s throw from FO. Can’t hurt to stop, is what I thought. Very small beer selection but there was some decent stuff, including Heretic, Deschutes (scored a bottle of Dissident), and others.

One of the few places to find hard to get craft brews, not a huge selection, but they carry quality stuff

Actually found Pliny the Elder here. Only a two bottle limit for $6.99 each. A little more than anywhere else I have seen. Not a bad place, but not a huge selection. Nice guys behind the counter.

Shocked this place was on here. You’d think being two doors down from Father’s Office for a few years would kick-start this place’s beer instinct but it hasn’t. Selection is small and standard: Sierra Nevada sixers, couple AleSmiths, some Sam Smith and Young’s, Damnation, blah blah blah.

Really not that good of a beer store. They have RR Damnation, one Lost Abbey (Avante Garde), a couple of the Alesmith 22oz bombers (I think ESB and X). They have Fullers, a few imports including a biere de garde, and Unibroue. Most of the rest are macros. Some decent sakes though.

More focused on wine will find your basics of local, regionals and imports.
