I know this place has been there forever. My 21st birthday kegs were procured at this place. However, on a recent visit I was a little disappointed. I parked the sketchy parking lot, walked into the place to be greeted by a dude, that said, 'hey dude'...okay cool. Then as I continued into the cavernous venue, the stench of old stagnant beer wafted into my nostrils with ill content. How disgusting. As I made my way around the store, I noticed that every beer bottle had dust on them...why? And what the hell is with the individual bottle sales, I understand you can create your own 6 pack...but I can do this anywhere. Also, the individual pricing convention is lame. But my experience didn't end there.... there is a creepy downstairs to this place. I found a brew I was interested in and went home, when I got home I then noticed that my beer was spoiled....rotten....with nasty floating crap in it. I am currently working with Lagunitas to rectify this situation as the bozo I spoke to at the store told me....sorry man...all sales are final.
So yeah, if you want spoiled German beer from the 1930's with labels that look like Ben Franklin printed them....this is your place. My dollars will go to support BevMo or Total Wine.
1 star for being a part of my memory
1 star for somehow surviving in that location.
