Total Wine & More - Brea, CA

Definitely better than the neighbor hood BevMo. Huge selection of wine and pretty good selection of spirits. The beer selection is expansive, with a few exclusives for Total Wine. Pretty good for country ticks as well. Some oddities. Decent prices, parking was easy. Overall a good stop.

This used to be my go to Total Wine since it was the closest to me. I like how large the selection is and I like how at first people didn’t care that there was Supplication and Temptation sitting on the shelves. When Firestone’s 14 came out womencantsail and I went down there and bought several cases of it. They’ve since put limits on a lot of things and they even hide some things in the back like Pliny. Prices are generally better than other stores, or at least they were until they got enough market share and then they went up, but they are still better than most other places. I also like the cheap tick section. Usually $1-$2 for singles of random beers that you just never bothered to try before. The light shining on the bottles constantly and the cases of unrefrigerated IPAs are the draw backs. Another major one is the Orange County drivers and this mess of a parking lot. Not a good combination.

4 Dec 2012. pretty good selection of imports and domestic microbrews. best prices in north orange county. staff are friendly but i’ve yet to encounter one that knows much about beer (or spirits for that matter)

Pretty good selection of beers (on top of wine and spirits). Most of the stuff is kept out on the shelves, but they do have a few cooler doors and a walk in. Prices are pretty good for the most part. And they sell singles of pretty much everything, which is nice.

Best beer store I’ve ever been to. Larget selection of beer, all shelved according to style. Easy to pick and they offer build your own six packs. Great store that I spent over an hour in selecting my beers.

Went based on Ratebeer comments. Everything I could want at a beer store. Singles, seasonals and service

Pretty much the same review as the store in Tustin.It looks like the store in Brea is slightly larger than the one n Tustin. They also seem to have a few different beers as well. Good selection of beers. Singles are available. There is stuff here that BevMo and Hi-Times does NOT get. And their prices may be a little to a whole lot cheaper. Worth the stop if you are in the area. They have a whole lot of stuff I haven’t tasted. Might be the best beer store in the area.

Ambiance: Well let, seemed more like a store and less like a warehouse, the way BevMos feel.

Service: I was greeted with an offer of assistance, and throughout my shopping experience, there were people ready to help.

Selection: A shit ton of craft beers, the only concern is most of its hot on the shelf, and a good bit of it past it’s prime.

Value: Pretty good price, cheaper than a liquor store, but the same as Whole Foods or Bevmo.

Overall: A step up from Bevmo, and a great place to shop for other related items. They even have styro shippers at this location.

This store is very nice. They have a huge amount of wine and spirits and they have a boat load of different types of beer and they sell singles. Great place to check out if you are around north orange county.

Stopped in after catching sign out of corner of my eye while driving back to hotel. Very large store with impressive wine selection. Everything available in singles and sorted by style. Had couple of Russian River sours and lots of local brews. Did not have some of the rarer brews that I saw at Hollingshead, but prices were cheaper and had a bigger selection overall. Real nice store and beats the hell out of any BevMo I have been to.
