I was heading to FS the end of this month for my first visit. I was wondering if there are any good bottle shops or stores that are especially good? thanks
Depends on which way you are coming. From the South in Pismo is California Fresh Market, BevMo in SLO and Paso have most of what is distributed around here, Dunbar Brewing in Santa Margarita has good bottle selection and some great guest drafts at times. Lincoln Market in SLO also has decent selection and some great sandwiches The brewery store at FW paso will have all the FW beers you need including anniversaries(marked up for vintages) and a couple barrelworks beers, bretta weisse and agrestic as of this weekend. While you are in the area you really should check out Central Coast Brewing in SLO as well, great beers coming out of there.
Thank you for the detailed information, perfect. I'm coming from the south. Will check out those places. Thanks!
Depending on where from the south make sure to stop by Barrelworks in Buellton if you are passing by.
Definitely stop at FW Barrelworks in Buellton if you into sours and strong ales. I've also had good things about libertine brewing but can't confirm. If you are coming from up north stop at Sante Adairius Rustic Ales on the way down.
