    Found the website for this store based in San Diego that says they ship beer. Anyone have any experiences with them? Is the stock fresh, do they ship in a timely fashion, things like that. Seems like a great way for me to get my hands on some things that don't distro here in Minnesota if it all checks out. Cheers!

    No idea about their shipping, but when I lived in SD, it was one of the best beer stores in town and never had issues with old stock.

    Hmm, I'm not in any of the states where anything from Best Damn Brewing Co. is being distributed right now, so I suppose not...

    I heard they were good, but Craftcity are my go-to guys. (Who is also based out of San Diego oddly enough.)

    Great shop. The owner is a cool dude and really cares about the beer.

    If I do this, and its sounding like I should I will ship it to a buddy in CO and then get it from him. Otherwise the gf has a son in the Marines in San Diego and I will have him bring home stuff when he gets leave.

    Still don't get how they have this huge disclaimer with various states they ship to. Shipping beer in general across state lines without liquor licenses is sketchy. They've probably found the few states that are more "strict" than others and are still trying to skirt the law with those that are "more open".

    Even trading is questionable (and I do that).

    Prices seem solid though. Best of luck

    I know it's just a big chain supermarket, but high praise to Raoul of C-Town Astoria. He drives into Manhattan with 4-packs of hard-to-get-stuff and drops them off at my place.

    I just made my first online order and it was with them. All aspects were excellent. Order was correct, beer was fresh, pricing was reasonable, a Styrofoam wine shipper was used and shipping for 12 bottles to SC was $27. In my opinion, BDBS is world class.

    I've been to the store in person great selection. I've also ordered from them via their online store and shipping was fast, stock all seemed fresh, I would highly recommend them. Only thing is you need to have someone available over 21 to sign for the shipment (they ship FedEx and big sticker requiring someone over 21 available at time of delivery at least in Michigan).

    Have ordered around 6 times, always went well. Their shipping is cheaper than Craftshack & Craft Beer Kings as well (at least to WV).
