Beverage Warehouse

August 15, 2008
I like going here - I enjoy a nice warehouse ambiance now and again, though I wish this place were darker. It’s usually a one-stop shop (rarities excluded). I like Lone Hill and Sun Devil better as far as pure bottle shops.

The name says it all, its a beverage warehouse, Beer Selection was decent and prices were competitive on most beers. I only left with 2 bottles a Highway to Ale and a 16 year ola dubh. Overall decent place with a strange location.

I was happy to finally find some Victory and Avery brews in California but I nearly jumped out of my shoes when I saw a couple YuleSmiths. AleSmith and Stone are very well represented, and the Belgian selection is great. Plenty of trappists and St Bernardus, as well as some rarities like the black label Girardin Gueuze 1882 and a Fantome or two. Saw some neat Port Brewing beers there too. As the name states, this place is a warehouse, so don’t expect the staff to be waiting on you very much. In fact the only people I saw working there were at the cash registers. Not a big problem if you know what you’re after. The prices were the most reasonable I’ve seen for several beers. The big AleSmith beers are cheaper than at Whole Foods or any San Francisco location I’ve been to. I found a St. Bernardus Pater 6 that was in a pallet under a shelving unit and the cashier said he couldn’t find it in the system so he gave it to me free! He knew his beer too. Only con here is that the beer is not refrigerated. It sits on shelving units on the back wall to the right of entrance, well out of the way of sunlight. Luckily the warehouse doesn’t get warm due to the cold concrete floor. Great place, I’ll can almost guarantee I’ll be stopping there whenever I’m in Los Angeles.

Decent selection of imports and micro-brews. I did not see many of the 22oz bottles from their website found 12oz instead. They didn’t have any of them refrigerated which would’ve been nice. They do have good prices, though. I’d have to say this is my third favorite beer store behind Ramirez Liquor and Cap N Cork.

Wow...very large warm collection including on 8/6/07: Decadance $8.99, Curieux $13.99, Interlude $17.99, Duchesse $3.99, Binchoise $7.99, Buffalo $7.99, des Rocs, Girardin, Val-Dieu, Abt 12, Prior 8, Belzebuth, Stone 7-7-07, and lots more at some of the best prices in town. Rick is the beer buyer. Prices are low I’m betting because of their warehouse location. It’s worth finding.
