I've been there a few times, and one of the employees in particular just comes across as being very erratic. The last time that I went in there, he took the bottle of wine I was trying to buy and started to slam it on the counter. Until that point, we didn't have any conversation at all so I was worried about his state of mind (thankfully the bottle didn't break). He behaved the same way with a friend of mine on a different occasion. I won't return here.

Despite some negative reviews left by some of the past shoppers, my experience with this liquor…read morestore the other day was quite good. The selection is not necessarily massive. For the particular brand of tequila I was in for, however, the store only carried the Blanco (silver) one so no Reposado and/or Anejo. I, however, was able to walk away with its tequila-based coffee liqueur (Cantera Negra Cafe) which I had always wanted to try. The employees (pretty much all of them) were very professional and courteous for my shopping needs. The store is a good size. Very organized where things aren't cramped into the space. Very clean indeed. On Thursday and Saturday, they do tastings (4-7pm on Thursdays and 3-6pm on Saturdays); the designated tasting area is on the north end of the shop. You can park in the Whole Foods garage (there is a door to it inside the shop; this is convenient especially when the weather is bad with rain or show.) I don't come to this part of town very often but it's nice to know that a good liquor store with high-end feel exists right in the heart of Belmar shopping area.

In the middle of all the craziness with COVID-19 I decided to do a beer and cookie pairing to keep…read moremy occupied and sane. I've been staying at home, but was out of some of the beer I wanted to use. I went out for another errand and happened to pass by Cask and Craft. Hmmm...this sounds interesting. Plus it's a local shop, and I'm all about supporting local, particularly during this time. I pulled up Cask and Craft's website and was super happy to see the list of precautions they are taking to keep their customers safe. Some of these precautions include only 2 people in the shop at a time, use provided hand sanitizer when you enter, and even curbside pick up/delivery. Since I was sitting in front of the store, I figured I'd just go in, get what I needed, and quickly head home. I was greeted and asked to use the hand sanitizer upon entering - yes, thank you. I then explained from a distance that I was looking for a dark beer, preferably a stout. I was escorted to the back of the store and shown the fridge with all the dark beer. WOW! big selection. I had the choice of 6 packs, 4 packs, or mix and match. This was perfect for me because I needed 5 beers. I ended up selecting Jackie O's Java the Stout. When I brought up my 5 pack, the owner told me it was a great beer (one of his favorite dark beers) and that it was a solid choice. He was not wrong. This beer is awesome, and paired so well with my peanut butter cookie pairing. So good. I will definitely be back to Cask and Craft. Their shop is filled with all different types of wine, liquor, and beer. It's organized so nicely, and the shop itself has this comforting vibe when you walk in. I'm so appreciative of everything they are doing to keep customers safe and for the recommendations they give.

I can't say how much I love Spice Trade. All of their beers I have immensely enjoyed and love the…read morefact that their recipes for their beers lean more towards the experimental side which I simply love. Steve and I have had quite a well rounded series of their beers and almost always I rate them highly on my Untappd account as I feel that they are simply that good... that the criteria that makes a fun and exciting beer... not to mention memorable is always there with practically each and every beer we have had from Spice Trade. I will go down the list on what we have had in the past, flavor features with each beer and what I liked best which will be tough to conclude upon. Probably my all time favorite is their Chai Milk Stout. I have had it a few times. I love Chai Tea so it's pretty much has all the leverage for it being my favorite. Flavors in this beer you should be able to detect are milk, spicy, sweet, smooth and creamy. The Sun Temple IPA was another beer we had. It was good, that is for certain. Flavors here are hoppiness, citrus, fruity with a smooth body to it. A sour that I ranked very highly was the Scarlet Giant Hibiscus Key Lime Sour with flavors of sour, tart, floral, salty and it is very pleasant to breathe in as it is very aromatic. Definitely a well made sour. Little Umbrella was also a beer we have had which was a Pilsner. This one if I had to pick was perhaps my least favorite out of the series of beers we have had. I am not sure why but I guess it was the layout of the flavor. In this beer you can expect to taste passion fruit, mango, wheat, tropical elements, fruity, sweet and tart. But my high ratings continued after the pilsner as we tried a different kind of pilsner which we simply loved. The Jalapeño Pilsner was the next one we tried. I love jalapeños already and usually like pilsners and all of the right elements were there with this one. This pilsner tastes spicy, peppery and some heat upon your mouth. It's also a nice, pleasant light bodied beer which is appreciated. Another wonderful beer was the Thai Tripel. Another very aromatic beer with coriander, ginger, spiciness and creaminess. Unique and highly enjoyable. Moving on was another beer I fell head over heels with. Partly because I love herbal beers and specifically it's quite rare to find beer with basil in it but the handful of times where I did I was simply enthralled by it. This specific beer I am referring to here is their Lemon Basil West Coast IPA. Flavors you can find in this would be basil, lemony, eathiness, hoppy and fruity. It is also a very light bodied IPA. And finally last but far, far from least was their La Playa Mexican Lager. Yet another light bodied beer with flavors of dry hops, grains and herbal flavors. The more I investigate into Spice Trade's beers the more I uncover of ones that I wish to try and that in of itself makes this brewery return to repeatedly.
