“gigantic selection but vast majority of bottles were cellar dwellers or not the best of the name brands ie jester king non hits.with patience you can pick a few gems.“

“My rating could be a little low for this place since i have only been there once and it was during a big beer event. Cool and unique layout-lots of shelves with well organized beer styles. Huge cooler with cold take-home bottles/cans. There is a little tap room in the back of the building with 10 or so taps for sampling on site or growler fills. Service was pretty friendly and prompt. I will revisit this place on a "normal" day.“

“I'm genuinely confused. I've been here every weekend I've visited STL since they've been open. Can't believe I didn't rate it. Anyway, here I go. This place is tucked in a block-long retail strip on the northwestern side of downtown Clayton. There's a bar in back, behind all the shelves and coolers of bottles. 10 taps, I think, and always some compelling stuff. The bottle selection is great. Everything (except mixed packs) is available in singles, which is key to me. There's a constantly rotating availability of local and regional stuff, and some labels I don't see many other places. Great service every time. Prices are good, completely fair. They don't have the best online presence and are spotty with social media, but otherwise this is pretty close to my ideal beer store, and it's become my go-to shop in STL.“

“Great spot West of St. Louis in Clayton. 10 taps of heat. Wonderful decor, simple, clean and packed to the gills with good beer. Anything can be pulled as a single bottle or can (from the coolers or on the floor). Prices super competitive, even cheap compared with Kentucky and Nashville. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place to pick up local Missouri beers alongside a great selection of Belgian beer and other quality out-of-state breweries like Prairie, Odell, Stone, DFH, and Evil Twin. Tons of Mikkeller as well. Must stop in St. Louis!“

“Located on the bottom floor of a WU building, which was nice as I got to use their Wifi. Large place. You could easily throw a party just from here with their beer, wine, spirits, mixers, cheese selection and other foodstuffs. The beer selection was expansive and had some rarities. I took about an hour browsing and dropped over $200 on bottles from Prairie, Fantome, Odell, Jolly Pumpkin and others.Wide selection of cider and mead as well. Prices a little high but I’m not sure what is fair for the area because as of my visit this was literally the first place I’d ever been in Missouri, lifetime. Staff was friendly, but never offered help. This is the highest rated bottle shop in the STL area, and I see why.“

“Great beer shop. Decent sized section straight back from the main entry. Plenty of local and international beers to choose from. I must have spent an hour in here checking out all the shelves. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions. I would definitely come here again and it is worth a trip in you are in the area.“

“Definitely a destination craft beer place. One of the best selections I’ve ever seen. I wish could have bought more but I could only fit so much in my luggage. Really nice people behind the desk as well. Would go back if I was ever in the area.“

“Interesting beer store. Decent selection, has beers organized very well. 5 taps available. Prices seemed decent. Service was friendly. Parking was a bit of an issue. Worth a look.“

“If you haven’t been here, you must go. They have rare, high ABV beers on tap, so you can drink beer while you are shopping for beer. They will even hold off on charging you for your draft until you finish your purchase so you don’t have to pay twice. The beer is organized by style and they have different racks for different styles. You can make a mix-a-six out of any beer in the store that is sold in 12 oz. bottles. Service is attentive; they tell you about beers that are cheaper than they could be, not just what they want you to buy. Great place; I’m going back soon.“

“An excellent beer, wine, and liquor store in CLayton with great prices and offerings. Gourmet cheeses available too. Clean with friendly staff. The place to go for carry out in St. Louis.“

“A totally kick ass liquor store with a tonne of bottles from all the big Missouri breweries. They have a selection of mikkeller, prairie artisan ales, and crooked stave. A tonne of Belgians too. Great store.“

“Maybe I am just spoiled, and since the wine and cheese shop was closed I have no comparator, but I was not impressed with the selection here. Another one of those places with a bunch of center islands full of unrefrigerated beer, poorly organized in general. It is pretty cool that they have a small tasting bar though.“

“This is a great place for beer lovers. Free tastings every Friday, $5 - $10 tastings throughout the year, especially the epic BeerFest, which they do once per year. Employees are helpful; they rotate their selection more than any place I have ever visited.“

“As others have said, it is a decent sized wine store. There was a cooler full of decent, nothing hard to find beers. There were a few cases of warm beer, Founders, some locals, nothing special. We prefer the W&C around the corner, just had to stop in and see what they have.“

“Stopped in a Saturday evening, so there is free parking right in front of the store. As soon as we walked in, there was someone to greet us and said if you need any help, let us know. Decent selection, I picked from the single bottles to build a sixer. They had four taps going, had tried them all, so passed for now. Decent cooler selection as well. We signed up for their mailing list, hopefully will let us know when new releases arrive. Will visit again when in the area.“

“A top tier beer store. There were probably a few hundred different bottles available. The modest local selection was bolstered by a strong set of offerings from Europe. There was also some interesting Italian stuff that I haven’t seen too often in the US. Other highlights included Tilquin Quetsche and Avery sours. For whatever reason, there was a ridiculous amount of stuff from Ska available. Weird. Service was friendly, professional. An old guy wearing a pretty awesome pair of jorts was pretty enraged at having to wait in line to pay, and the guy at the register humorously diffused the situation. Prices were fine. Definitely worth a stop.“

“In St. Louis on a business trip and wanted to grab some craft beers I can’t get back home. After reading the Yelp and RateBeer reviews of beer stores in St. Louis, decided on this one. Good, easy to find location. Very nice selection of craft beers in the back of the store. Mostly warm, which is a good thing for the traveler who has no cooler. But there were also several coolers worth of beers too. Very small selection of singles and signs on the shelves asking not to break up six packs, which is a definite con to this place. Mostly stuff I can get back home, (which is great to see Louisville is pulling in so many different breweries). But they did have Firestone Walker Brewery and Ska Brewery, which is a huge plus! And a great selection of local St. Louis breweries. Prices were pretty much average, (American craft beer ranging from $6 - $10 for a 22 oz bomber, $9 - $12 for a six pack). Bought about $70 worth of beer, could have easily spent twice that. Didn’t engage the staff in much chat, but the checkout guy was friendly enough and took the time to help me get all of my beer purchases into a couple of case boxes. I’ll certainly stop in again next time I am in town.“

“Visited during RBSG 2014. Lots of wine and liquor in the main area with cheeses, candies, and other snacks. Beer area in the back with some coolers along the back wall. Pretty nice selection for the amount of space. Prices were reasonable. Lots of free parking in the lot. Worth a stop especially if you’re not from the area to see what you might not normally be able to get. Friendly staff. Apparently they can ship beers so a nice option if you don’t want to lug your beers back home.“

“Great service. Beer selection is good. Not outstanding, but the place just opened. Discounts available if you sign up for their mailing list. A couple of taps, but nothing exciting when I was there.“

jtclockwork 3742 days ago

“In a very nice area with lots of parking. Big with a real focus on craft beer. We were there when they first opened and the selection was good not great. Same with the taps. Prices are on the high side compared to the larger shops, but discounts are available on 12 or more. Decent and may improve with some time. Service was really good and knowledgeable.“

Ferris 3742 days ago

“Broad geographic selection of beers, including a lot of stuff (European and other global craft beer) that you just can’t find anywhere else. Great communication via social media and the blog which keeps you in the know of all the latest beer releases. Very cool collaborations with local breweries: they donate used whisky barrels to brewers for special releases! Shelf space is somewhat limited as wine and spirits take up a lot of the store. One of my favorite places to visit!“

“Beer area in the back. Sorted by country and then by local regions. Pretty good selection. Lots of import beers. Tons of cheeses and wine (hence the name). Great selection of Belgian beer. Mix-a-six was mostly IPA beers.“

“I’ve ordered online from these guys a few times but recently visited for the first time. Really great beer selection with a helpful staff. I spent nearly an hour combing their selection during my last visit. Chill place“

“Occasionally I’ll check their site to see if they have something that I know I can’t get in California but so far the only time I’ve ordered anything was a couple of BFM bottles. They were the newest versions of the Grand Cru. The prices are pretty high and you still have to pay for shipping (for which the price is ridiculous) but they do get some neat stuff in. Most recently they had some bottles of the Fantome Extra Sour but I missed that. Some day when I get to Missoura I’ll have to stop in here and see the store front.“

“Excellent store that is fairly easy to get to. Great selection of European beers. Nice selection of Missouri beers. Prices seemed decent. Staff did offer to help. The pick six was weak. Well worth stopping by.“

“Visited here as a part of a 9-brewery weekend tour of the St. Louis beer scene. This was the only liquor store we visited during the weekend, and it was the only store we needed to go to. Very good selection. Great international, Missouri, and regional beer sections.“

jcnielsen 4252 days ago

“Just a fantastic store. THE ONE MUST-STOP in STL. The only downside is its a little too small and messy. Al liquor, great selection. Port and Cognac, all good. Beer, lots of stuff, rare and not. But this place is popular, rare things sell out fast. Stock rotates well, they put things on discount. Lots of good imports at fair prices. Plus food stuffs. Specialty beers made for the store, free tastings, a well updated blog.“

beastiefan2k 4286 days ago

“Lots of wine and alcohol here, but plenty of beer in the back as well. Seemed a little disorganized with beer stocked all over, but a very wide selection. There was a new belgium tasting going on while I was here so that was cool. Didn’t get offered any help as I was looking around, but staff were friendly at checkout. Prices seemed decent, but the lack of a robust singles section was a huge turnoff. They actually made a point of stating in writing that they do not break up 6 packs. I don’t know how the highest rated beer store in the state could not. A very nice store, just not on par with the top stores in Minnesota.“

“Such a large selection of beers that are not readily available in Texas. I was really impressed. Lots of imported beers, at semi-decent prices, and good beers from the surrounding area. So good!“

“Like a candy store for beer geeks. It pains ne that I have to drive clear across the state for a selection like this. “

lawman357 4445 days ago

“Don’t let the name confuse you, this is quite the beer mecca. Probably the best place in St Louis for beer. The staff is friendly and can be very helpful. They have a large selection of beers from Belgium, England and Germany, not to mention many other countries in Europe and around the world. The selection of US craft beers is very good. This includes a good number of local and regional brewers to choose from. There are regular beer tastings to introduce you to beers you have never tried or even heard of before. They also allow you to order beers on-line and have them shipped to you if need be. Their prices are quite reasonable for what they offer. Highly recommended “

“Stopped in after work to check out the selection. Good selection of local brews and some hard to find European imports. They sell singles of some of the seasonal brews which is nice and have a small mix six selection. Definitely worth a stop.“

msante79 4493 days ago

“I was not expecting much from the understated exterior. Looking more like an upscale wine and spirits store it hides one of the best selections of local, regional, and international beers in the area. An entire shelf of Saint Louis breweries sits next to Midwestern breweries. Further down are entire shelves of Mikeller, Nogne, and many Belgian beers.

Getting in and out without making a big dent in the wallet could be tough. Come ready to pick up a case and you won’t be disappointed.“

winemerch1992 4610 days ago

“Really nice place. Lots of wine and liquor with a good bit of beer in the back. It’s almost like walking into a speakeasy when you finally find the beer. Picked up a Stone Vertical 11, Mikkeller Drink’in The Sun 11, some Dogfish and a bunch of other stuff. Price seemed pretty good for the area. No one offered to help me but then again, I didn’t ask. My only complaint is they close at 7pm? Seems kinda early to me. Overall, pretty good. I’ll be back again in the future.“

jmagnus87 4629 days ago

“The Wine and Cheese Place has four locations, and beer shopping experience varies wildly, but this is definitely a good one. Huge selection of obscure beers, well organized and labeled. Prices seem a bit high but not outrageous. They always have some good ones on sale or clearance if you’re feeling cheap. I guess I’m spoiled by Lukas Liquors, but I really wish this store also allowed you to buy singles or mix six packs of anything. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend it overall.“

“good but common selection of European beers, tons of locals, including singles out of 6 packs, great service and good pricing, check this place out“

chibuck 4718 days ago

“I’ve ordered beers from these guys a couple times now. Shipping is always quick and the prices are pretty reasonable. They have a good selection of beers from the area and also get some pretty decent imports. I don’t buy from them too often anymore, but if I do buy stuff online, they’re a good place to turn to.“

brokensail 4771 days ago

“This is the best selection in St. Louis. I have visited several establishments, but have found everything I was looking for right here. Very knowledgeable staff, and will hunt for items you may need. Updates provided through Facebook, and new brews and other liquors and wines arriving constantly. I will frequent as my allowance lets me travel to their store. The staff is very helpful and willing to go the extra mile.“

jandd1983 4960 days ago

“My personal favorite place to buy beer in St Louis. I have never found a better beer store anywhere else. Clean, well lit, great selection, and 4 out of 5 trips someone is there asking if I need assistance. They always get the rarest beers that come in the area and allow customers to join waiting lists to have a chance to obtain the hardest to come by beers. Paul keeps everyone up to date on new arrivals via all forms of social networking. Also they have a HUGE selection of wine and liquor and assorted cheeses and meats but I have yet to buy anything but beer there. Also worth noting they do weekly tastings and have even done special vertical tastings. Overall an amazing store.“
