    I have contacted a few stores, I am waiting to hear back from a few, but where are the best beer stores in LA to find Italian craft beers that aren't Peroni, Moretti? Panil is fine, but I want to know if they have smaller brands and more craft beers. Not Birra Del Borgo either.

    I have scoured a few sites. I found this link and contacted a few people. I heard to check this Italian shop in Highland Park called Galcos.

    LA is a very big place. You probably want to narrow it down by part of town.

    I mean yeah it's a big place but how many actual dedicated bottle shops are we talking about? I can drive to many different places if the bottle shop is worthy. I don't see many that have a bigger Italian selection than Panil, Peroni, and Moretti.

    Bill's Liquors in Atwater Village sometimes gets interesting Italian stuff in. If you call and ask for Crystal, she can help.

    Try wineexpo in Santa Monica. Can't remember exactly what (Bruton?) but they had some different Italian beers last time I was there.

    Hi-Times in Costa Mesa (Orange County) has a good selection of Italian beers including Panil, del Borgo and others.
