Really great variety. Delightful set of gents working over there. They are always so kind to me when I make my trips in. BOSS to whomever is playing the music! (whenever I'm there) Keep it going! Do yourself a favor and park across the street. Since they opened the gym it's a mess most times in that tiny lot. Bring your own bag -the bigger the better. Cheers! read more

Be the first to review my favorite local beer store on here? Don't mind if I do! When I first heard that my beloved Beer Shoppe (https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-beer-shoppe-ardmore) was closing towards the end of 2020, it was another horrible thing to chalk up to that terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year! But unlike other things from that time period, this one didn't end up being as much of a big loss, because I learned that a new beer distributor would be opening up just few doors down, and when it did I learned that it maintained a lot of the same awesome staff and quite possibly an even better beer selection. As a distributor, it doesn't have amenities like the food and whiskey bar that the Beer Shoppe had. But it does give you the ability to grab beer to go by the case, twelve-pack, six-pack, four-pack, and even as singles. You can even fill your growler with their selection of drafts, or take home an alcoholic slushie. LMB isn't the biggest distributor I've been to by any stretch, but they make do with their space to bring in enough things to keep any level of beer nerd satisfied. You can take home a case of Corona or the lite stuff for your casual beer drinking uncle, load up on local brewers like New Trail and Twisted Gingers, imported brewers like Unibroue and all those Belgians, plenty of seasonal brews with it currently be the dark wintery season, and a lot of harder to find beers. read more

I love LMB, yes it was sad to see the beer shoppe close however it's a lot nicer to have a distributor who can sell kegs, singles, and everything in between. They have a great selection however their cold beer selection isn't always top-tier. However, if you just plan ahead their selection is great! So you can always find something interesting, an old favorite or something local. If you don't see something you want they are always happy to try and get it in for you. One thing I am always sure to look at is the 50% off rack. Frequently you can find really amazing beers that are either out of season (mix pack of fruity summer beers around late fall) or simply an IPA that isn't the absolute freshest. Dave (one of the guys behind the counter) is great and always has good recommendations if you are not sure what you're looking for. read more

Any time we have called, they are prompt to answer the phone, and give attentive, intelligent answers, and care about what a customer is asking them. This is uncharacteristic for other local distributors, and it is a welcome positive about this place. They also have great prices, which, for some harder-to-find stuff that we buy, ends up cheaper than Total Wine in Delaware. And by cheaper, I mean the pre-tax total, the after-tax total, all cheaper than the same thing in Delaware, AND I don't have to pay for gas to drive 40mi roundtrip to get it. THAT is a deal!

Their selection is very good, I can always find something that appeals to me even if I wasn't able to find the exact product that may be a bit more difficult to find like Jefferson's ocean barrel strength or tin cup 10 year. They are often running specials on different products so I always keep my eye out for good deals! I've seen upwards of $5 off a bottle which is cool. They always have box sets with glassware or special items if you're looking for a gift for someone. Parking here is the major downside however the big lot across the street by the firehouse always has open spots... Just a bit of a walk.

In a cultural zeitgeist that's so accepting of alcohol, Non-alcoholic spirits have also finally become more widespread and of better quality over the year, so it makes perfect sense for there to be more businesses that cater to selling and spreading the knowledge of what's out there. So when I first saw the sign for Wallace Dry Goods pop-up in the neighborhood, my interest was immediately piqued. And since then I've enjoyed a few visits including for an awesome Yelp event. For my first visit way back when Wallace pulled out all the stops for the Yelp squad walking us through delicious mocktails, n/a beers, and hosting an informative Q&A that gave a great preview of who they were and what they were about. That followed suit for the second time when I signed up for a curated N/A Beer testing that really opened my eyes to how far N/A beer has evolved when I was enjoying seasonal pumpkin beers, coffee stouts, and then some. All of this comes from someone who still enjoyed going out after quitting drinking, but definitely felt the pressures and wanted to do what they could to make N/A spirits more accessible. And as the place that distributes a number of N/A offerings to several bars & restaurants across the local area, they're definitely achieving that! Going inside gives you full access to that knowledge and the ability to pick up n/a beers, ciders, wines, spirits (including a line from Danny "Machete" Trejo!), and everything you need to up your drink making craft. While they're a retail space, they might have something on hand for you to sample, and you definitely want to check out their website to sign-up for any tasting events they have scheduled.
