Total Wine & More - Northridge, CA

Huge collection of beers, and most are attractively priced. Not a lot of help from the staff, but maybe they’re just giving me my space. Perhaps the most appealing facet is that many (most?) beers are available in singles.

This place is so close to being great. The store is huge and nicely done. The aisles are large. The service is really great I must’ve been asked 5 times in 20 minutes if I was finding everything alright. The selection is ok.It seemed like the place had been really picked over and hadn’t been restocked in a week. They would have "1000" beers if they bothered to restock thier shelves. That said, there was a great selection of craft and foreign brews. Also a nice selection of seasonals. The Organization was baffling to me and it made it very hard to find a specific beer. I hope it gets better since it’s apparently a new place but they need to hire a kid to keep the shelves stocked and figure out a way to organize the selection better. Edit: 5/10/2011 Made another trip. This time the selection and organization was MUCH better though I still hate the idea of organizing by style. Had oak aged yeti, Chocolate Oak aged yeti, all sorts of hard to find and aged beers Really becoming a beer lovers wonderland!

Brand new store. I didn’t count the beers, but according to their website it is 1000...and they have a list to prove it. Quite possibly the biggest liquor store that I have ever been to. Its massive. Probably about twice the size of the BevMos in the area. A large collection of beers I haven’t seen at other places. Also a decent sake selection, cider selection, and a lot of meads. Almost every beer is available in singles. Just a massive store! Very good prices as well.

They also have a huge liquor and wine collection. Pappy 20yr for $109, not bad.
