    sorry to post a semi-silly question on here, but please read on...

    I live in toronto. my friend lives in LA. I'm heading to Vegas in 2 weeks and I was hoping that she could get a grab bag of beer for me, mail them to Vegas so I can bring them home. I was looking at all the lovely funky and sour beer you can get on the west coast that we get nary a hint of in Toronto.

    She lives in the 90014 area. I called the Whole Foods near her and they didn't seem to have much. My dream/hope is to get my hands on a bottle or so of Russian River's sours.

    Just so she doesn't have to run around the city to help me out, are there any beer stores/stores you can suggest to her so she can send me some beer by next week?

    Thanks in advance.

    the three places id recommend and that i frequent are walnut liquorette, vendome in north hollywood and lone hill liquor. depending on how far she is willing to drive those are all worth a look and she may find some RR sours. they are all approximately a 30 minute drive one way from 90014

    Ramirez is a good bet, as is Bill's liquor in Atwater. Sunset Beer Co doesn't get RR sours, but they do have a lot of other great beer, and it's pretty close to her too.

    She can try the store Buzz downtown. I don't think they have any russian river beers, but i remember seeing several mikkeller sours if you're into that. I would recommend bill's as the previous person mentioned if you want russian river sours. They had several bottles of supplication earlier this week when i went.

    Thanks for the replies, everyone.
    Now i just have to convince her to go.
    I need a serious brett/funk/sour fix.
