re-rate: store has been somewhat overhauled, it’s a lot nicer now with a better selection. do be sure to check price tags as some bottles would have different prices for no reason. they have a great selection for such a quirky place. i found all 3 santa fe big beers, several brew dog selections, cuvee rene, and several more bottles i couldn’t find in the bay area. the staff doesn’t know a whole lot about beer, but seem to absorb things and want to improve, as they have over the past 2 years. when i told the owner that he had overcharged me for a bottle 3 days earlier(lower price 3 days later) he compensated me with a free bottle of the same beer without hesitation. the prices are average, some low, some high, but overall a good deal.

Selection is good. Dusty store but full of good beers. The staff is friendly and helpful, but only a couple of the guys actually know their stuff. Wide selection of Stone, Avery, Rogue, Lost Coast, Mad River, Odell and other CA/NM/CO breweries. I make a trip here about once a week to pick up stuff I cant get on the north side of town.

Nice that bit by bit more beers seem to be reaching other markets. Was in here years ago and there’s been an improvement, but not by leaps and bounds.

Probably the best beer store in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, most all of the beer that i was interested in was old stock (lost coast bombers, which are dated bottles). They do carry stone, lost coast, avery, rogue and has a good selection of imports. The store was pretty dirty and the staff did not know much about what i was looking for (Stone RIS).

A typical big-box liquor store with too many ads and stickers and banners on the outside. Two beer sections, one up front with singles, bombers, 1/2 magnums, where a lot of micro and belgians are, and then the back cooler wall with a ton of 6 packs. Rogue, New Belgium, Santa Fe, Avery, and a slew of other local CO/NM micros... they hesitated at breaking 6 packs for me, but OKd it as long as I broke 6ers from the same brewery (so, 2 of this, 2 of that, and 2 of this, all 6 from the same brewery). The guys even helped me carry the boxes to the truck, a nice gesture after dropping close to $200 at their store. I think they liked me :)
