    I am visiting both for the first time in about a month, and would love to bring back some west coast beers that I cant get in Iowa or Illinois. Which bottle shops should I try to make it to?

    Not bottle shops, but do yourself a favor and visit Stone and Societe.

    The place called Societe?

    Go down the street to O'Briens, they had a few Alpine beers, some Societe and Pliny when I was by there yesterday.

    No I think he meant Society Billiards in Pacific Beach. Hope you had a delicious Shock Top!

    Haven't been to that place in years since I suck at pool. Play all day if you spend 10 bucks?

    Adding on Valley Beverage and Bill's in Atwater as great bottle shops in the same general area as the Toluca Lake vendome. Sunset Beer Company and the liquor store in the lot next door are good spots to stop too.

    Went there, no Alpine, one Societ, and Pliny. The Beechwood beer was OLD! Sucky bar, won't go back.
