| - Warehouse Beverage is hands down, the best little beer, wine, and brewing supply store in the county and personally, the best I've ever encountered anywhere, period.
I'm more of a beer girl than wino, so this review is for the beer. I've heard good things about the wine selection as well, though, and they also carry wine-making supplies and kits. The place is run by two down-to-earth, obliging and knowledgeable brothers, one a beer expert, the other--yes you've guessed it!--a wine expert, so you've got quite a compendium of advice and resources available when both are on duty.
We started making regular pilgrimages here for brewing supplies when the bf and his friend took up microbrewing. They've moved on to cheaper online brewing supply wholesale vendors once they got a better understanding of the process, but for brewing newbies or vets who need to pick something up in a pinch, WB provides a (mostly) reasonably priced, ample collection of ready-made kits, yeast, grain, equipment and even a manual malt mill in the back to crush your grain.
But the best part of WB is, of course, the mind-blowing craft beer selection. Imagine the candy store scene in the 1971 Willy Wonka flick, except instead of the Candy Man dancing along shelves of brightly colored candies, singing to breathless, wide-eyed kids, you've got the Beer and Wine Bros singing to lovestruck adults, frolicking in rows and rows of brightly-colored single 20 oz bottles and six- and four-pack cartons.
Ok, just the very last part of that, but still. Total candy store effect. But for adults.
When it comes to craft beer, if you've heard of it, WB most likely has it. They carry seasonals, regulars and hard-to-find brews from the likes of Stone, Rogue, 21st Amendment, Left Hand, Flying Dog, Victory, Sam Smith, Abita, Unibroue, Troegs, and Hitachino (whose red rice ale is absolutely yummy and is now in limited supply due to earthquake damage at their brewery in Japan), just to name a few. And of course, they carry brews from local breweries like Buckeye and Great Lakes. Whenever I come across something new at a bar that strikes my fancy, it's pretty inevitable: I'll be at WB the next chance I get, looking for the matching six-pack.
If you're in Cleveland and call yourself a beer-drinker, you owe yourself a trip to Warehouse Beverage. Cleveland is my city and Warehouse Beverage is my happy place. End of story.
