Yelp strikes again - thank you for helping me find my absolute favorite bottle shop in the DC area!…read moreThe Brew Shop is a bit out of my way, but we'll worth the trip - fantastic selection of beers of all kinds, with a interesting new options coming in every week, and really excellent organization in a nicely sized space that lets you find exactly what you're looking for while discovering fun new options too. The service is fantastic, super friendly and helpful, and I love the backstory of the founders (look it up on their website!) Anytime I have an excuse to be in Arlington, this is always one of my go-to spots.

I walked in and the woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of refrigerated 4 or 6 packs, unrefrigerated single and some ingredients and gear you'd need to brew your own beer. I was happy to see lots of interesting local brews and only a few from breweries I'd heard of (that's a good thing). I picked out some singles and one 4 pack. Overall, I'm a happy customer and would come here again.

It was like being a kid in a candy store, way more beer than one person could drink in years. They had a lot of local and regional breweries as well, plus solid selections from around the world. They also had a surprisingly large selection of NA and gluten free beers, which made some of my friends happy to be trying something new. It was all very organized and colorful as well, with wheeled ladders to get to the high stuff. There was a lot kept cold as well. My only main complaint is there were many beers that must be kept cold out on room temperature shelves, which will affect freshness and maybe even make some undrinkable. I did a mixed six pack and bought a variety case of a favorite brewery I can't get at home. Prices were reasonable as well. The staff was great, friendly and fast to help. If you live near one, be sure to join their rewards and discount programs if you're a frequent shopper.

It doesn't have the best selection of bourbon or of Irish whiskey among the ABCs, but it has a solid selection of each where you can almost always find something good. The selection of brandy/congnac is limited but it has options. If you want to go out of your way to find a specific bottle, this might not be your place, but if you're looking to buy a range of bottles for home use, a party, etc., you can find a satisfactory offering here. And, the people who work at this store are nice people who can be helpful if you ask.

It's caddy corner of the Hilton Crystal City, and it's about the size of a larger studio apartment (aka IT'S SMALL). We went there searching for White Claw ( cause of course we did), and found out that they don't have any beers for sale. They don't have any wines for sale either. Is this a thing in VA? I know beers and wines are in like supermarkets and stuff, but do they not have them in the liquor stores too? Either way, good news was that they did have tonic water and a few mixers. Picked up some tonic for my gin, and then headed across the street where I found White Claw in a 7-11 of all places. So, would definitely recommend this place is your in search of Liquor ( and it's a pretty mainstream brand) as the selection is not huge.
