Wine and Cheese Place (Clayton)

Located on the bottom floor of a WU building, which was nice as I got to use their Wifi. Large place. You could easily throw a party just from here with their beer, wine, spirits, mixers, cheese selection and other foodstuffs. The beer selection was expansive and had some rarities. I took about an hour browsing and dropped over $200 on bottles from Prairie, Fantome, Odell, Jolly Pumpkin and others.Wide selection of cider and mead as well. Prices a little high but I’m not sure what is fair for the area because as of my visit this was literally the first place I’d ever been in Missouri, lifetime. Staff was friendly, but never offered help. This is the highest rated bottle shop in the STL area, and I see why.

Great beer shop. Decent sized section straight back from the main entry. Plenty of local and international beers to choose from. I must have spent an hour in here checking out all the shelves. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions. I would definitely come here again and it is worth a trip in you are in the area.

Definitely a destination craft beer place. One of the best selections I’ve ever seen. I wish could have bought more but I could only fit so much in my luggage. Really nice people behind the desk as well. Would go back if I was ever in the area.

An excellent beer, wine, and liquor store in CLayton with great prices and offerings. Gourmet cheeses available too. Clean with friendly staff. The place to go for carry out in St. Louis.

A totally kick ass liquor store with a tonne of bottles from all the big Missouri breweries. They have a selection of mikkeller, prairie artisan ales, and crooked stave. A tonne of Belgians too. Great store.

This is a great place for beer lovers. Free tastings every Friday, $5 - $10 tastings throughout the year, especially the epic BeerFest, which they do once per year. Employees are helpful; they rotate their selection more than any place I have ever visited.

A top tier beer store. There were probably a few hundred different bottles available. The modest local selection was bolstered by a strong set of offerings from Europe. There was also some interesting Italian stuff that I haven’t seen too often in the US. Other highlights included Tilquin Quetsche and Avery sours. For whatever reason, there was a ridiculous amount of stuff from Ska available. Weird. Service was friendly, professional. An old guy wearing a pretty awesome pair of jorts was pretty enraged at having to wait in line to pay, and the guy at the register humorously diffused the situation. Prices were fine. Definitely worth a stop.

In St. Louis on a business trip and wanted to grab some craft beers I can’t get back home. After reading the Yelp and RateBeer reviews of beer stores in St. Louis, decided on this one. Good, easy to find location. Very nice selection of craft beers in the back of the store. Mostly warm, which is a good thing for the traveler who has no cooler. But there were also several coolers worth of beers too. Very small selection of singles and signs on the shelves asking not to break up six packs, which is a definite con to this place. Mostly stuff I can get back home, (which is great to see Louisville is pulling in so many different breweries). But they did have Firestone Walker Brewery and Ska Brewery, which is a huge plus! And a great selection of local St. Louis breweries. Prices were pretty much average, (American craft beer ranging from $6 - $10 for a 22 oz bomber, $9 - $12 for a six pack). Bought about $70 worth of beer, could have easily spent twice that. Didn’t engage the staff in much chat, but the checkout guy was friendly enough and took the time to help me get all of my beer purchases into a couple of case boxes. I’ll certainly stop in again next time I am in town.

Visited during RBSG 2014. Lots of wine and liquor in the main area with cheeses, candies, and other snacks. Beer area in the back with some coolers along the back wall. Pretty nice selection for the amount of space. Prices were reasonable. Lots of free parking in the lot. Worth a stop especially if you’re not from the area to see what you might not normally be able to get. Friendly staff. Apparently they can ship beers so a nice option if you don’t want to lug your beers back home.

Broad geographic selection of beers, including a lot of stuff (European and other global craft beer) that you just can’t find anywhere else. Great communication via social media and the blog which keeps you in the know of all the latest beer releases. Very cool collaborations with local breweries: they donate used whisky barrels to brewers for special releases! Shelf space is somewhat limited as wine and spirits take up a lot of the store. One of my favorite places to visit!
