Beverages and More (BevMo!) - West Los Angeles

Stopped in here when I was in LA last month. Good selection of craft beers and a great selection of imports. Quite impressed! Nothing like this back home in Reno!

Brand new store. Smaller than most BevMos. A pretty standard selection. As usual they do not break six packs. Normal BevMo prices and staff, but this store is closer to me than the other ones. Good parking.

Santa Monica Blvd store. Good selection of foreign brews and west coast micros. Saw some of Alesmith’s big ones in there, as well as Stone, Alaskan, Ballast Point, and more. The atmosphere feels like shopping at Costco, which is kind of novel for a liquor store. One objection: due to the lack of rare and uncommon beers, it is possible that BevMo doesn’t exhibit enough of a discriminating eye when buying from distributors. For instance, if you were to go in there looking for a specific handful of brews from Cali brewers in the area, you would be hard pressed to consistently find any of them here.
