Fullerton Beverage

The most over priced place I’ve been to for beer by far. $ 30 for Firestone vintages. They go for $ 15 to $ 16 anywhere else. The business is obviously a front and they’re selling all the good stuff in the secondary market. I won’t be back

Do not come to this place unless you want to be overcharged. Amazing selection of the most expensive beer ever. He tried to charge me $ 14.35 for a 6 pack of Karl Stauss Red Trolley. It’s $ 8.49 at BevMo — check their website! Then he tells me if I find it cheaper he will give it to me for free and when I said I would not pay that much he told me I don’t know anything about the prices of beer. I’ve never been insulted by a store owner like that. Crazy. It’s not like he’s in Newport Beach to justify the prices, he’s in ghetto Anaheim.

Shitty shitty racist stupid I hate it racist to white ppl don’t go here they are low key isis

Their website claimed they had a bunch of beers that they were «sold out of.» Their prices are ridiculous, they absolutely gouge. It’s bad business. The guy working there was friendly. I just can’t get over how much those jokers charge for beers. Never shopping here again.

This was a good store to go before new owners… Good selection, but biggest price gouge I’ve ever seen! Similar experience to Ryan G. who bought a Firestone sour. My experience involved a Firestone proprietors reserve. I would search everywhere else before buying from this store. Use only as a last resort and be prepared to pay double!

I drove out from Irvine to pick up some craft beer for Halloween. This isn’t your Bevmo or Total Wine sized store with lots of options. This is a mom and pop liquor store where 75% of the liquor is craft (porter’s, IPA’s, hef’s, etc). I was able to find a decent amount of IPA’s worth trying. Popular brands come in and go out quicker then quick so call ahead if you are trying to look for something (ex: Pliny the Elder). The price is standard with no sales going on. Talk to the owners, they can provide some insight on what to try if you don’t know the brands but have a beverage preference. Overall a good local spot if you are in the area. I’ll just stick to my local Total Wine.

Fullerton Bev always has a great selection; the problem lies in other areas.
First off, the prices. My buddy and I saw they posted a coveted Firestone Walker sour on social media, so we hurried over there to grab it. The first person we asked had no idea what we were talking about. We eventually found someone who grabbed the beer for us behind the counter and rang us up for a whopping $ 18.99. Now, this is a rare beer, and Firestone is a very popular brewery, but just under $ 20 seemed a bit excessive.
It was. Just a few days later, I located the same beer at Total Wine, priced at $ 12.99. That’s $ 6 cheaper? Are you kidding me? I know independent liquor stores have to tack on a bit extra because the can’t complete with the big guys, but a 50% mark up seems insane.
Secondly, there were several beers (double IPAs, mind you) that were still on the shelf and offered at the same price. The hallmark of IPAs are hops, and hops lose lots of their glorious hoppiness after a few months – hence popular IPAs like Enjoy By.
Anyways, I won’t be going back. Yes, the selection is good, but the maintenance of that selection is very poor and the prices can be ridiculous.

Amazing craft beer selection. They kind of have a small smattering of everything –hard to find Belgians, east coast brews, lots of local breweries, limited edition releases, a sour section, etc. My only complaint is that many of the beers don’t have prices on them. Annoying.
Customer service is very nice though.

Good beer selection! If you want to find a good selection and a friendly staff this is a perfect place!

I took a visit to this store last night. I usually go to total wine but it was getting late and I couldn’t make it before they closed so I opted for Fullerton Beverage instead and I was not dissapointed. They have full shelves of single and 6 pack micro brews and the attendant was very helpful with looking for anything I was asking for. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the specific flavor I was looking for, though they carried different brews from the same company. I will definitely be back.

A must stop for craft beer enthustants! They have some rare brews. Would go back again!

Cool hole in a wall liquor store. First impression interesting selection of craft beers! I love it. This place intrigues me. The owners were super friendly and very knowledgeable of their beers in store. They were able to describe the taste of the beer as well as make recommendations for similar items. They do carry limited edition beers as well. Definitely will be coming back to ither stuff.

You lost a few customers today. The previous owner was very knowledgable and helpful; however the new owner is lacking in certain areas.
I’m an avid beer collector and when Fullerton Beverage partnered with Russian River I was ecstatic. Pliny, supplication, consecration, blind pig are all great beers. The demand is high so customers will buy as soon as stock refills.
Now here’s my problem… Fullerton beverage’s Internet marketing and customer service is disappointing. A couple weeks ago, they posted a Pliny picture on Instagram even though they were already sold out. I, along with many other people went to the store to find out they were out of stock the day before. Today a Russian River picture was posted again with a description stating, «More in stock!!!» I decided to call and ask what beers were available from Russian River so I can decide whether it was worth the gas to go or not. The man that answered the phone said he was busy and hung up. I decided to go over there to find that there were no customers in the store and all they had was damnation.
Maybe it’s unfair for me to write a review like this, but I hope Fullerton Beverage learns from this mistake and improves on their customer service. Their beer selection is awesome and they do what they can to help, but my recent experiences have left a sour taste in my mouth. Vendome will have a loyal customer from now on.

Ok so I just found out that this place is known for their beer selection. I have to admit, once I walked in, all I saw (besides the small clear container displaying single serving liquor you would usually see at the mini bar of hotels) was beer.
They didn’t know what Vermouth was when I asked for it nor did they know what I was saying when I asked for bitters. Dude… you’re a liquor store… how do you look at me like I’m speaking some foreign language when I ask for this stuff?
Whatever, I guess if you like beer come here but don’t expect anything else

This place is awesome. They literally have stacks of beer all around you. Always willing to offer advice and suggestions as well as friendly service.
This place knows it’s beer!!!

I can’t think of another place I would prefer to buy micro-​brews. Seriously, I called ahead from work a few hours and Jay put the brew of my choice on ice. Nobody tops his service

Found this place on instagram and decided to see what they had in stock. I ended up overshooting the place since it’s in a corner with just a sign that says Liquor. But don’t worry fellas, this place is legit.
WARNING! Whatever you do, don’t talk to Jay… You’ll end up buying half the store! But in all seriousness the man knows his beer and if you need a recommendation he’s your guy. The store is well stocked up with all your local favorites and some more exotic beers for a very fair price. Ended up walking away with a good number of IPAs and a couple extras that Jay recommended. All in all great shop if you’re looking for some good beers.

I did a search for bottle shops in the area because I was getting to a point where I could no longer believe that Provisions was the best North OC has to offer. Fullerton Beverage popped up and I thought, «hmm, what’s this place about?» So, I bookmarked it, told the bf, and one day we decided to head over and check it out. Now, when you’re driving down the street this place looks like your average run of the mill liquor store. Nothing special. Just a regular neighborhood liquor. But then you walk in and you kinda stand in awe of the selection that Jay has built. I mean, the selection is outstanding. He has some of the most rare stuff from all over. If you just sampling some Blue Moons here and there and you think Shock Top is craft beer this is not the place for you. You will be overwhelmed. Hell, this place overwhelms me and I’m pretty in to the craft beer scene.
The last time we went there was a rep from Brew Rebellion (they’re in Yucaipa) and he was offering samples of beer. By sample, I mean he poured us half a pint. We ended up spending about $ 90 in total but that was after Jay hooked us up with a 10% discount for buying more than 6 bottles.
What I’m saying is that this is my new go to spot when I need to stock up on beer. Just keepin it local, my friends.

Jay is all about great customer service and keep the best products in stock in his store.
He is very knowledgeable about all the beers he carries, even the most obscure ones that you’ve never heard of. This is the place to be adventurous, take a few minutes and ask him what he recommends for your taste preferences. The selection is fantastic, and the prices are quite fair!
No matter what kind of beer you like, you won’t leave here disappointed or uninformed!

Jay is a great dude supplying Fullerton with great craft beers.
Nice little spread of craft beers.
See tons of new releases come through via his IG and Facebook posts.
Great selection from Almanac, The Lost Abbey, The Bruery, Prarie, etc. The list goes on. Nice little surprises pop in from time to time.
The place is located down the street from the Fullerton DMV.
Fantastic spot!
Support your local craft beer businesses.
