Distillers Outlet Liquor

Best bottle shop in town. David is the most straightforward and honest person in the industry

Amazing selection and such nice guys.
I felt very welcome and was actually sad to leave.
They were able to obtain some very very rare beers which should have been impossible. They must have amazing connections.
GO HERE! If for nothing else the fantastic conversation.

This place Rocks!!! David is the kindest soul on this planet earth.
Love his MASSIVE collection of CRAFT BREWS, LOTTO, and KNOWLEDGE.

This is a great little shop that has a huge selection of craft beer… by far the best in the area. Hands down. Thanks guys!

Wow! How is this my first time here? I came to pick up some Peanut Butter Cup porter and wished I had all the time in the world to browse.
The Distillers Outlet has one of the best selection of craft beers around. The only place I would compare it to is Valley Farms (which I miss living so close to). Every local beer you can imagine, as well as beers from all over. Walls lined with cold 22s, 6 packs and spirits, shelves and shelves of room temp beers, and a great selection of wines too.
Add this to a really friendly and funny crew of beer nerds… Here is your four stars.
Can’t wait to come back!

OUTSTANDING selection of bottled craft beers. Quite amazing considering the small space.
The best part — the owner knows his craft beer and is always maneuvering to get in special bottles and hard to find selections. Super friendly too. If you aren’t sure what you want, he’ll steer you in the right direction.
Skip the big box beverages and more place and come here. You will be glad you did. This is coming from a craft beer connoisseur (maybe too much).
This place also has a good selection of spirits, along with soda, snacks, and other beverages. Of course, why would you be interested in any of these when there is a ton of fresh, craft beer?

Best beer shop in San Diego County, bar none. The staff knows what’s up and are on fleek. They care about the San Diego craft beer scene are committed to being the best shop around.

great selection, rare releases, AWESOME staff, david knows it all. its a hidden gem in a busted strip mall in poway. always friendly people in there, and sometimes you can get a sweet trade worked out. top shop in SD

This place is simply the best place to go in search of a new craft beer to enjoy. The selection is nearly endless as they seem to bring in different flavors and varieties weekly. The people working there are knowledgeable about their selection and are eager to help you find a new favorite. Highly recommended this place, it’s paradise!

I moved to San Diego from Chicago and one of the first things I wanted to find was a bottle shop. Being new to the area, I first tried checking out the grocery stores and other local bottle shops in the La Jolla area, only to be a bit disappointed in their offerings. Someone on Instagram actually recommended Distiller’s Outlet and I’ve had nothing but great experience every time I shop there. The first time I went, the clerk hooked me up with a Pliny The Elder since I told him I was new to SoCal and told him I was seeking it out.
They have a great selection of local and non-​local and everything I bought has been fresh. David is always willing to make recommendations and can talk beer all day.
Awesome place, great selection, very friendly staff, good prices.

One of the best bottle shops in San Diego. Don’t know what to get for someone who loves beer? Ask Dave and he will make some awesome recommendations.

This is the best bottle shop in SD. The staff is super cool and really helpful. Cheers!

Seriously one of the best bottle shops in SoCal and definitely San Diego. Great people, tons of knowledge and those rare gems that keep me coming back!

Well priced, amazingly large selection of hard to find and delicious beers. the owners and workers really know what they’re talking about and are passionate about the community.

AA members don’t dare to come near here. :-)
I follow these guys on iG and they keep me updated on the latest craft beer selections coming their way. The only thing is that there is usually a limit per customer but sharing is caring ;-)
Buy a case and get 10% off

David has this place wired! He knows his beers, he knows is customers and he looks out for them and for the craft beer community.
Wondering where to get that special hard to find bottle of Pliny the Elder? Ask David. He will let you know when it is due in and have a bottle waiting for you. Military member? go in on a Sunday and get a 5% discount on your purchase. Want a 12 pack but he only has 6 packs in stock, he’ll take care of you and give you the 12-​pack price.
While you are there pick up a lottery ticket, if you win so does he!
Sláinte!

How did North County’s most varied craft beer selection appear out-​of-​nowhere in a lonely strip mall in the heart of Poway? This and other questions like ‘why is there vanilla fudge?’ and ‘who killed Kennedy?’ may go unanswered indefinitely. What I do know is that D.O. is doing it right. Up to the minute social media updates on FB/​Instagram/​Twitter on all the latest beers coming in. For the 1^st time ever I was able to get my hands on the Holy Grail-​impossible-​to-​find bottle of Alpine Ale here because of their updates.
The guys that run this place LOVE craft beer. They have so much beer, they have to stock a lot of the ‘good stuff’ in the back fridge out of eyesight. Every time I walk in, David and Marvin the clerks are incredibly knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The greatest part is they’re always down to chat about beer! If I’m in the mood for ‘something like Sculpin, but ‘chocolatey’ he knows just what I need. I’ve also noticed the candy/​chip section shrinking over time… probably to make room for, you guessed it… MORE BEER!
If you have a beer you tried once, really loved, and can’t find it at yer local BEVMO, chances are Distillers has it. Call ahead or pop in and say hi.
Prices are competitive. There’s a new kid in town.

So I’m friends with the guy who runs this place on Instagram and wanted to stop to pick up bottles to send home whilst on vacation. As it would turn out, I could have just vacationed here and tried eleventy bazillion beers I wanted to.
They have it all. If you live in SD then you need to do your beer shopping here. I could have easily spent hours and hundreds of dollars here. Not because the place is expensive but because the selection is phenomenal. They quite literally have it all. Everything I could want that is distributed to California and some stuff that’s not as well. I was even offered the last bottle of Pliny. What a guy!

This place was a saving grace for me while I was passing through. After visiting Lightning Brewery I wanted to buy a bottle or two of their Thunderweizen. Unfortunately they didn’t have any in stock at the brewery (say what?). Not being familiar with the area, I wanted to know if there were any local places I could pick it up. This was one of the places I was recommended to. I’m glad I stopped here.
They have a great selection of craft beers here. The shelves are clean and sure enough, right there in front of me was my Thunderweizen. Perfect. Grabbed a couple bottles and headed to check out.
The guy at the counter was super friendly and he knew his beers. Gotta love the enthusiasm. Overall, I couldn’t have been happier of felt more comfortable shopping here. This is definitely an asset to the area as far as liquor stores go in the area. They have a great selection and from my experience, a great staff. With prices competitive, if not better than BevMo, there really isn’t any reason not to shop here.

Beer connoisseurs, this is the only bottle shop you will need to know about. This little hole in the wall bottle shop (their sign just says «LIQUOR») has the biggest selection of craft beer at reasonable prices. They get beers from breweries I haven’t even heard of. If you’re looking for a rare bottle for a special occasion, you’ll definitely find it here. Of course, you’ll also find beers from all the local microbreweries.
David is the guy you want to know. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about beer. Just tell him what style of beer you’re looking for and he’ll make really good recommendations. Tip: Follow them on Instagram to find out about any new beers they have.
Pros:
+ Wide selection of Craft Beer
+ Knowledgeable staff
+ Lots of cold beers ready to drink
+ Rare bottles available if you ask
+ Always getting the latest beers
+ Also has liquor
Cons:
— Too much good beer, you may spend more money than you want. But hey. in the words of Arrogant Bastard «It’s not too expensive. You’re too cheap.» And you know it. good beer is worth every penny.
