Wonderful beer store packed full of all kinds of goodies. Singles galore, with a whole bunch of extra stuff in the cooler - don't forget to check back there. Lots of local stuff, and even more imports from around the country and international. Friendly, knowledgeable service. Prices OK. Definitely worth a stop.

Interesting and eclectic beer selection - emphasis on quality over quantity - the beer cave is a must.

Awesome bottle shop, with a massive selection of beers. When you walk in, there is a great selection of beers in the far left of the store; but an even better selection in the "beer cave" in the back, so don’t miss that! Very friendly service, only too happy to make recommendations and chat about beer. A great place to do some bottle shopping.

Visited 6/29/2016. Great beer selection. Service was decent. The walk-in cooler is a must - a lot of good stuff in there.

Un leadership hors pair, des employés courtois et connaisseurs et une sélection complète autant pour la bière que les vins et spiritueux. Une impressionnante voute se cache au sous-sol près d’une mignonne salle de dégustation.Un must dans la bande nord de S.D.

This gem is tucked neatly in Escondido just off Highway 78 with easy access. Unassuming at first, this dark store boasts a large high quality beer, wine, and spirits selection, each one seemingly individually picked for placement on the shelf or in the cooler. I was able to find several things here that I have yet to find in SD. This store is legit and the staff are ever ready to assist.

Really shocked by these ratings as I was so let down. This is a skip. The ambiance is great, one of the nicer looking shops I’ve seen, huge coolers and a nice downstairs tasting room. There is a big cooler in the back, but its to cold you can’t spend more then a couple minutes in there when you want to spend lots of time browsing. The coolers have prices and deals prominently placed, but the organization is off. Its really hard to search for beers, its not done by style or state or country, so you are just kind of left wandering around. No doubt there are a shit ton of beers here. However, there’s nothing remotely rare. Its all stuff I can find anywhere. Even when you see a brand like Midnight Sun, its all their common bottles. No Russian River, lacking in stouts. Really not getting it? I was there 15 minutes, never once asked if I needed help. Maybe I could have been directed to something interesting, but I walked away empty handed.
