An unassuming location near Glendora, CA. Lone Hill has a beer manager with a keen eye for gems of beers, and an even better one for procuring extra-rare stuffs. I found a very solid selection of RR, HotD, Lost Abbey, Alesmith, Stone, Allagash, etc. A decent selection of imports, but you can tell the focus of this place is on Cali micros. All in all, a pretty solid spot, and the prices are average. I’ll be back, though I would caution against driving over an hour to get here.

One of the best beer stores around. It’s funny that unless someone told you about it you probably wouldn’t know. It looks like a random liquor store from the outside, but once you walk in and see the crazy selection you will crap your pants. Stan the beer man is an awesome dude. I have been going there for a while now and he has hooked me up with a few freebies for spending so much money there. This is absolutely a must for beer enthusiasts. You wont find a better selection anywhere around. The closest thing I could compare it to is Bottleworks in Seattle, WA but a little smaller.

Nice jazz or classic music plays in the background. The service is good when Stan is there. George ain’t so bad either, but Stan knows the products way better. The selection is tops. He doesn’t charge unreasonable prices and its a cool place to beer shop.

I did some research before a recent trip to Bakersfield. I decided that since I was flying into the area, I needed to check it out. The person with most of the beer knowledge wasn’t in, but the guy who was there helped me where he could, and told me when the other guy would be in. They had most of the normal Alesmith offerings, some FFF, Southern Tier, Hair of the Dog and a bunch of other great Cali brews that you can’t get anywhere around Tennessee. The prices were a bit high for what I’m used to, but the selection far outweighed the higher price. I will go back again on future trips.

Was in the area for a birthday party so I figured I’d stop in and check it out. There is a lot of beer here, no doubt. Maybe my expectations were too high, or Perhaps i’m spoiled, but I didn’t see anything here that I couldn’t find elsewhere. Beside a couple random Southern Tier beers, there wasn’t anything that can’t be bought at one of the better Bevmo’s. Maybe it was an off day, but I didn’t see any three floyds or Founders. Service was helpful and friendly. Prices were on the high side. I didn’t buy anything. If you’re in the area, definitely make a stop in here. However, I wouldn’t go out of my way to seek this place out.

After reading all these reviews I had to go there. Only a 40 mi drive but well worth it, am going to make it a monthly trip. Very, very nice selection of brews, FFF, Southern Tier, founders, Two Brothers, Great Lakes and some very nice Belgians. After drooling over the beers and making our choices, Stan the beer man went into the back and pulled out a few nice gems for us (inc. Dreadnaught!!!!) and totally outdid himself overall. Dropped a few freebies as we were walking out the door as well, class act. Definitally a must stop for any beer geek in the area (or even out of the area). We dropped 260.00 with no effort what so ever, so watch your budget. Once again thank you Stan, see you next month.

Best place for locals in LA (period). Not too exciting for midwesternes (as you guys get a good deal of the selection that makes this place special. I was lucky enought to talk to the main beer guy who got me several bottles from the back as well as threw in a free beer on the house, and a Stone 12 glass. For locals the have all Stone, all common Lost Abbey (including Judgement Day, Serpents and Inferno), they Have all Pizza Port (except sinners beers) down to Moonlit Sessions, They also have all non-barrel aged alesmith, and all Balast Point. They have a full range of Hair of the Dog, and Great Divide (common in Texas, but not out here). They also have DFH including 90, 60, Burton Baton and Rasin de EXTRA, and Palo Santo. Only RR out in the coolers was Damnation. The had all manners of Lambics including every oud beersel. They also had 3Floyds (3x of them) including 2008 Behemouth, Rabbid Rabbit, and Alpha King. They had Goose County, tons of Southern Tier, Great Lakes, and Founders. A thourghly amazing place, and well worth the drive. I will return. Great people working there.

Would never guess it from the outside of the building but this place is a West Coast gem!!! Stan, the beer connoisseur, talked his interest in craft beer. An amazing guy. Lone Hill had FFF, Founders, Great Lakes, & Southern Tier (yes, in Southern California). He also ran in the back and got me a couple of bottles of RR Supplication. Spent $180...and he threw in a Stone Arrogant Bastard glass. THIS IS A MUST STOP!!! Eric, thanks for the recommendation!!!

Very nice selection of beers in a little tucked away strip mall liquor store. The owner was a really nice guy also. Selection had FFF Behemouth, several Southern Tier and Great Lakes brews which was weird to see in a West Coast store. Nice selection of SoCal beers in bombers also. A must visit if you’re in the area.
