Jeez, didnt realize I hadnt rated this place yet. Been visiting since the guys at Stuffed Sandwich told me about it back in 2007.

Small liquor store that seems to sell more lotto tickets and cigarettes than anything else but they also have a half a dozen cooler doors with good beer in them. Stan is the guy to talk to if you want something. He can either order it for you or he’s hiding it in the back. This has been a blessing and a curse at the same time. Everyone now knows that you have to talk to Stan so people only go when he’s around and he’s started putting everything in the back which is kind of ridiculous. And I’ve told him that too. If you want to hold a couple bottles for friends/regulars thats fine but when all the sought after stuff is in the back no one that doesnt know to talk to Stan will think this place is worth shopping at.

Prices are high but no higher than most other places and for items that move quickly they are priced pretty evenly with the Bevmo down the street. Check it out when in the area, they’re nice people and occasionally pull out some neat and old stuff (old Firestone anniversaries, old Stone vintages, even the occasional vintage Russian River sour).

Medium-sized store in a small shopping center. Way out of town. Quite a drive to get there. And, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed.... but just a bit. Long rows of coolers filled with a decent and balanced selection of world beers, with an emphasis on West Coast brews. Good selection of glassware. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff (not sure if it was Stan or not). Good place for the area, but maybe not quite up to the level of its current rating. I think that perhaps locals may get special orders and other rare things that are not out on view for the walk-in customer.

Stan will help you with all of your craft beer needs! This place rocks.

hmmmm maybe i missed something here. STan was working the day i was there and i asked him for some Kern River stuff-he brings back some Knee Deep bottle.....well it was nice of him to get something from the back of the store, so i bought it. turned out to be a decent beer. however, with that said, the selection here is good, but not great. he must keep all the really good stuff in the back. seemed kind of an old place to be all that great.

Love this place. I always visit when I’m in the area. Can’t believe it took me this long to rate. Definitely an oversight on my part. Stan keeps this place stocked, proper-like.

Went out of my way to stop in and check this place out. Bottom line, it lives up to the hype. Stan is a great guy, ready to answer any questions and pulled a Alpine Nelson and some Pliny from the back room for me. If your looking for something and don’t see it out, ask!

(Visited 03/2009): Stopped on a trip from Lynwood to Apple Valley. Had to call the store and got directions from Stan as I got turned around somehow. The store is off the 210 on Alosta/66. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall. Inside there is a great beer selection. Many regional brewers are represented such as Lost Abbey, Marin, Stone, Drake’s etc. There were also some beers from the my home midwestern region that I have not seen out west too often like Bell’s and Three Floyds. There is also a pretty good selection of imports from the UK, Belgium, Germany etc. As for the service, again the owner was kind enough to guide me to the store, and while we was not there the clerk put me on the phone with him *again* to make some recommendations on what to take back with me. Definitely the personal touch while not being there in person. Overall this store is a not so hidden gem that is worth a stop.

It is worth the drive to Glendora for this place. i have been wanting to go since moving to LA in summertime and finally went. I was not disappointed and have been several times in the last few weeks. The owner is passionate about his beer and has some really great stuff. Along with Blue Palms, Tony’s Darts, and Boneyard this is one of the best places to learn about beer in LA.

I grew up 2 blocks from here, so a few years back when I learned this store was like Mecca for craft beer, I couldn’t believe it. Lo and behold, it is. Stan is awesome and I’ve now been buying beer here for 5 years. The selections for spirits, etc is just so-so, but for killer craft beer, its sublime!!

small mom and pop liquor store with great beer selection very hard to find beers and been known to cellar beeer for a tome and release it later for sale.
