Hi I am flying in from Maui this weekend and staying in Oceanside. Who would have the best selection of bottles in the area? I want to bring a bunch of stuff that I cannot get here back with me.
Carlsbad right nearby has a Pizza Port which has a decent bottle shop too. Also in Oceanside you could hit the Stone Company store as they will have some of the barrel aged Stone offerings that you might not find elsewhere.
even though i don't think they sell bottles you can have good pours at this place i'm told www.bagbybeer.com/
There is a store called Texas Liquors on the same street as the Pizza Port with a bottle shop. They tend to boost their prices, but they do have a pretty good selection of bottles. If you are going to venture out a bit, for example eastward towards San Marcos (Rip Current, Churchill's) or Escondido (Stone), you could stop at Holiday Liquors in Escondido. And any of the Beverages & More, flawed as they are, will have a pretty decent local bottle selection.
