Stateside Crafts - Cambois Barrel-Aged Cuvée... highly recommend - Specialty Food Near Me - Long Beach, California

I really like this store! They have soo many cool items. They have alot of the hard to find beers, wine, cookies and ciders! I saw they had the cascade apricot so for sure picked up a couple along with some MAMA's peaches from browns and hops brewing company. Those are my two favorite drinks. They have all kinds of IPA, belgium style beers. They also have ice cream, cereal, chips, pretzels, fix and hoggs peanut butter, candies and keto items. Just a beast of a store. This a neat place and you could easily spend up to an hour browsing this place from top to bottom. It's a very impressive store. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: AMAZING selection of beers and snacks. My friends and I stopped by here after dinner at the Wood & Salt Tavern to grab some more libations. Their selection is truly dazzling, and I think we were looking at the cases for a good 15-20 minutes before finally deciding on some stuff. I got Beachwood Brewing's Draper's Dram, a Manhattan-inspired beer Bourbon barrel-aged with spices that was just dynamite! My friends all got different varieties of beers (can't remember them all) and we enjoyed them all. I also got a can of Zatarains Cajun peanuts that were way too addicting and we ended up eating almost the whole can, oops. The proprietor, Patrick, is a very knowledgeable and affable person--ready to answer any questions you may have about his wares. Now that I'm in the area more I am looking forward to being a regular. read more

My go-to place when I'm looking for gifts for others or treating myself to a good craft sour! Their selection is unmatched and Patrick is so knowledgeable. He has introduced me to one of my favorite beers of all time and for that, I'm forever grateful. He is stocked up on every single type of beer you're looking for. He even has some wines from time to time I believe (I could be mistaken). There's not much left to say that others haven't already said, but come and support a local small business! read more

What a great experience we had. This could be our new favorite spot. We are normally not beer drinkers where wine and Margarita drinkers but the knowledge the owner has with beers craft beers just blew us away. Once you try a couple different spirits seltzers he gets to know your pallet and then he can start suggesting the craft beers which were awesome. After leaving here we went to a bar down the street and was so disappointed by their drinks compared to his. Definitely a Hidden Gem that needs the word spread. read more

We walked in on Black Friday to support our local small businesses. The owner told us he was hanging on. There is a nice selection of goodies for gifts. We mentioned an interest in cider and he directed us to some by LB cider Ficklewood. We talked more about beer! We looked for something new and got a great recommendation. The owner and my husband both enjoy Dogfish 90 min IPA. The owner shared a story with us about how that came to be. So, very knowledgeable, great selection, local store - what's not to love. read more

I've only been here a few times, but have been immensely impressed. They aren't a bar, but a tasting room. You can also get anything from the case for a bottle pour. And, their quick bites menu, while small, is top end. Got a tasting flight the first time I was here and bottle pour the next. The draft taster flight was 4 taps, plus they had 2 more for full pours. Selection is rotating. The bottle selection is superb. I went with the owner's recommendation for a stout (Faction out of Alhambra). You can't pour your own according to the rules, but he kept me topped off. From the tasting menu, I'd recommend the brat. Great flavor. They also have patsy w gravy, pizza/calzone things (calizza), bar snacks, and more dogs. Hope they get off double secret probation and are allowed more flexibility. But, in the meantime, it still is an incredible place. Maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't change a thing. read more

This is a really fun beer garden/tasting room place. we had pizza next door which was amazing by the way and wanted to go for a walk afterwards and came right in and tasted a few beers and hung out with the staff. The gentleman working there was very friendly and polite. He also brought his French Bulldog which was just freaking adorable and loved playing with the customers. my wife couldn't stop playing with him, I was more focused with their beer selection. I decided to get a heady topper since they have them and didn't regret my dank sappy decision. They carry a very wide array of beers here and you can experience them all in the sectioned off area on the back of their location (if you buy one). I'm glad we walked in to sample their wares. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. All the beers and snacks are carefully curated and extremely tasty. The owner is incredibly personable and has very good recommendations depending on your specific tastes. Great stop in. One of Bixby Knolls gems for sure. read more

Stateside Crafts is an awesome place to visit if beers and eclectic snacks are your thing. While others boast about quantity and alcoholic assortment (i.e. vino, vodka, vermouth, etc.), Stateside is less overwhelming which, in this case, is a very good thing! Unlike their rivals down the street, they have a more intimate approach to the artistic craft, if you will. Their enthusiasm really shows when you have the opportunity to speak to an employee. They tend to be knowledgeable and exude passion for what they do. The selection isn't out of control but there's definitely some real gems here. It's a humble little place but I can literally spend a lot of time reading labels, gawking at sophisticated munchies, thinking about grabbing a craft soda, and.. Oh yeah, possibly try one of their featured flights in their social gathering area. I'm ridiculously into Stateside Crafts! The #1 reason why this place catapults itself ahead of the competition, to me, is the fact that they carry beers from my favorite breweries located in my home-away-from-home: Boulder County, CO. I think I'm in love ;) read more

Stateside Crafts - OMG... - Specialty Food Near Me - Long Beach, California

Best place in Long Beach/Bixby Knolls for personalized and curated selection of beer and ciders. Patrick is an encyclopedia of knowledge on all his products. I really need to visit soon and enjoy a flight and stock up on Mission Trails cider. :) read more

I love this place. The owner is very friendly and gives great recommendations based on your tastes. After a trip to Flanders, I've been into sour ales lately, and have gotten some good American ones here at Stateside Crafts. I'm slowly making my way into hoppy Belgian style ales, so will be making a trip again soon. Follow their Facebook page so that you can see what's new. Great little market for California Heights. read more

What a wonderful store that specializes in 100% USA produced specialty food and beverage items. Chocolate, ice cream, what seems like hundreds of flavors of craft beers... It's a treasure and I'm happy to know it's about a mile from my new house! :) I think the beers are reasonably priced, and I'm sure their markup on the other items is fair. (Meaning the stuff *starts out* expensive, so of course it's expensive on the shelf.) But. I just paid $11.99 for a mason jar of ice cream. Yes, it's organic everything and I'm sure it's created in small batches by some California elves or gnome fairies but yikes! LOL! (And yes, the store *is in* Bixby Knolls, where the fancy people live.) The owner's wife was incredibly attentive, informative, personable, and engaging. She explained the local folk art that graces their store wall, explained their store history and how they choose products. I look forward to going back for some tastings! I highly recommend this great store!!! read more

What another great experience. I ordered on line for a pick up and it was ready with no waiting at my arrival. I picked up a few sticking stuffers with so many choices. We are so lucky to have this store in Bixby Knolls. read more

Stateside Crafts - Oriental curry nuts - Specialty Food Near Me - Long Beach, California

Not as big of a selection as Corked which is about half a mile down Atlantic but this place is charming nonetheless. They do have a much better selection of snacks/condiments and offer tastings in the back. The workers are always friendly and helpful and the fact that they're always busy is a good sign. They do seem a tad pricey and if I'm not mistaken I think I've actually seen certain prices go up just in the past 3 months. I haven't reserved a tasting yet but it's on my list and I'll update the review then! read more

Curious about the landscape of Long Beach beer, Patrick couldn't have been a better guide. He clearly knows his stuff and I am stoked to come back for more. His shop is great for beer enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. read more

This is a nice hidden gem in Bixby Knolls. Don't let the small size fool you; there is a nice big selection of beer as well as high quality wines, ciders, mead, and even ice cream. Patrick's knowledge of his stock is unsurpassed. If you don't know what you want just ask and he'll point you in a good direction. Pre-pandemic this was also a great place to sit and have a flight or two of his hand picked beers. Hopefully someday we may be able to return to that. read more

If you're looking for a low-key evening filled with delicious craft beer, look no further. This is a fantastic new joint in Bixby. The owner really cares about the place and the products he sells (You can tell by the compulsive cleaning and dusting he Constantly does while also making delightful banter with the customers). There is a tasting menu of 4 beers, generally local, that range from light to dark. The tasting menu is a reasonable $8. You can also taste any of the beers you buy there. There currently isn't much food there to try, but I think its in the works. They do have some healthy snacks that you can munch on while you're sipping on the brews, but I'm more excited about the charcuterie plates promised as coming soon! Give this a try if you're in the neighborhood. You won't regret it. There really isn't anything like this place for miles. read more

Our favorite bottle shop! (Also a very fine tasting room). My husband & I come in generally once a week to pick up new selections and old favorites. We are big craft beer enthusiasts (and I don't mean the kind that enjoys going to Karl Strauss to order a pilsner and calls themselves a "craft beer fan"), and this place is tops. Patrick, the owner, is awesome, knowledgeable, and friendly. The selection here might be smaller than other bottle shops like Cal Heights Market and Corked, but it is extremely well curated. On top of that, Patrick will be able to tell you about any beer in his cooler - unlike the larger places. He now also has wine. We haven't had any of the snacks yet, but they have always looked delicious. He now also has wine! A small sampling off the top of my head of the beers we've discovered and loved from Stateside: Roadrunner Roadrunner (Stereo), Zero to Sexy (Figueroa), Juice Pop (Eagle Rock), Hazy like Sunday Morning (Chapman), and the Messenger (Three Weavers). We love coming here to see other locals supporting an awesome local business. He also has local art decorating the tasting room, which he sells! We'll continue frequenting this great business; definitely a staple of the LB craft beer scene. read more

This is a relatively new spot in the cool area of a revitalized Bixby Knolls, Long Beach. Needless to say it far exceeded my expectations. I saw many beers that I have never seen anywhere else, and purchased quite a few. Patrick is very knowledgable about his products, and offered several food pairing suggestions that were on point. Great looking shop+great products+excellent customer service= one awesome shopping experience. Stateside Crafts is a step above the rest. If you have grown weary of navigating the craft beer world in fend-for-yourself shops do yourself a favor and come here instead. Other so-called 'liquor' stores in the area may carry some craft beers, but they don't match the selection, service, or freshness of Stateside. I will be visiting here very frequently. read more

Since we had a baby, I've been completely out of it! This place is another hidden gem and I'm so glad we found it. Not only do they have beer tasting and a great selection of alcohol, but they have different kinds of interesting treats from ice cream to Siracha Ketchup. I'm in love with this place and only wish I had more time to hang out. @eat.drink.post read more

After going several times with my wife,we brought friends in for my birthday. Open entering we found an employee that was not the usual person that is very knowledgeable and friendly. We looked around then moved to the tasting noticing that usual chalkboard signs with the current flight only had 3 of the 5 or 6 hung. Half the fun in this place is trying new beers and seeing where they are from. After asking the staff what is on the flight, he looked up and said I'm not really sure. I've been to lots of beer and wine tasting and never been told I'm not sure. Our large group then decided to take chance on that glowing review and paired our order down to 3 tastings. We were served our 5 tasters all at once and in one breath he rambled off all 5 brews. Then is when we found out that the remaining signs of the flight were not correct either. Our experience was like none other and myself and the people we brought won't be back unfortunately. The beer was good the experience was not read more

Great store, it is still new and being set up, but so far so AWESOME! I love to shop local and it give me great pleasure to find a place that I can happily send people to. Took a recommendation for a Saison that was fantastic-great service and very attentive. The store has great ambiance there is cool music playing and local art on the wall in the middle of a great layout. The selection is great already, but I can't wait to keep up with this place as it comes into its own. The only drawback is it is a little hard to find. The owner said he's working on it and I understand . . a new place is NEW. read more

Great craft beer bottle shop and tasting room. Patrick knows his beer, he hand selects each and every craft beer he sells. I highly recommend you go in to stateside and grab a flight.

First things first, Mr. Patrick, you are doing a great job. I was reading other reviews and it looks like you're bringing in customers of all ages. Not only is he a smart business man but he's a great guy as well. I was here with friends trying out the rare craft beer selection and whenever we bought a beer to drink the owner would tell us interesting facts about the beer itself, from the reason behind the ingredients used in the beer to the brewing process. Very knowledgeable and respectable individual. If you're in Long Beach, come out and show this spot some love. The atmosphere here is incredible with smooth music playing subtly in the background. Bring your friends and have a beer, inside the store, or take it to go, the choice is yours. I'll be telling all my friends about this spot for sure. read more

I came here just because it was refreshing to see another place in the local area that does craft beer. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to craft beer and Stateside Crafts feed that snob in me. First of all, the ambience in the place is awesome. It is very clean and very modern without being garish or overbearing. Then, you have the people. Patrick is one of the most knowledgeable people with whom I have spoken about beer. He knows his stuff. He curates the selection of ales in his store. I use the word 'curate' because there is a quite artistic collection of beers for sale. Everyone who cares about the beers they drink has that one store which has beers that rotate all time. Seasonals, special releases, limited collaborations, rare beers, etc. Stateside has these and more. I went in the other night looking for a bottle and only then realized that they do flights. Patrick collaborates with his suppliers (which includes input from head brewers as well) on what kinds of beers will make his tasters pop. I enjoyed a Fall Seasonal flight consisting of Ballast Point Dead Ringer, Ballast Point, Pumpkin Down, Left Hand Oktoberfest, Uinta Oak Jacked Imperial Pumpkin, Farnum Hill Dooryard batch#1316, and New Belgium Le Terroir Sour. Hands down the best flight I have had anywhere. The flavors complimented each other and the New Belgium sour is the best sour I have had (which is high praise from a person who drinks sours whenever possible). Plus, Patrick is a people-person. He talked with us about his flight selection and gave us a list with complete brewers notes (which makes it easier to know what I am drinking in a flight, as well as enhancing my understanding of the drinking experience). I went in 15 minutes before closing and they were completely cool staying after hours and talking with me for a bit. In addition to the great beer, they have a hearty selection of craft foods, many of which are sourced locally. Stateside is well qualified to represent the LBC. If you're in Long Beach looking for craft beer, you owe it to yourself to come uptown to Bixby Knolls and trying Stateside Out. Pretty soon, a brewhouse is opening next door (Dutch's). There is plenty to look forward to out of this partnership. read more

These days it is not enough to provide the customer with a wide selection. That's good because Stateside Crafts provides so much more! Patrick is incredibly knowledgable and helpful. He will present, describe and expose you to the wonderful world of craft beer. You'll walk away making an informed purchase or having something recommended by Patrick that you'll end up loving. Stateside also has a selection of cheeses, chips and other fine finger foods. Just the right items to hold the hunger at bay while you enjoy your carefully selected brews. The tasting room is small but intimate and is decorated with art by local artists. Cool mood music plays faintly overhead and sets the vibe just right. read more

Nice place. The service is really good and they have a nice selection of beers that you can purchase in store. They do have a small tap system in house but it is only for tasters. No full pours which is a shame. The person on staff was extremely knowledgeable as well. I really hope they can do full pours soon because this place would do amazingly well. I haven't seen another place like this in Long Beach yet especially in Bixby Knolls area. Great service, great selection, and tasters! read more

Patrick is the curator of this shop. I say curator as in an art museum custodian. First he is friendly as heck and willing to help the person who might be timid in jumping I'm to craft beers. Second, he is going to find what you like. Third, if you are an experienced craft beer drinker you are going to love the beers he has available. You won't find any macro brewery beers here, only ones that think about quality, ingredients, and love. Bonus, he has flights of beers that you can taste and see what you might like. He will help you walk you through it. You will find beer lovers here sitting in the tasting area willing to share their beer knowledge. Try some beer with a cheese plate. I really Iove the music they play here as well. read more

If you're a beer enthusiast and haven't been here, go now! If you're a local, go to Stateside Crafts instead of the bigger place down the street. This place is an absolute gem. Great selection of the best local craft beers and other great breweries from around the country. Perfect little tasting room with flights to try before you buy. Patrick, the owner, is what makes this place. He is such an easy guy to talk to. He makes the place warm and friendly. Places like his can sometimes seem kinda snooty and pretentious. Stateside is the opposite. Sure, he'll be super beer-geeky with people like me, but when a non beer-drinker came in to buy a gift, he was able to shift gears and talk to the customer n their level and advise them appropriately. This place is one of my favorite parts of moving to Long Beach. Support this place! read more

This is a review of a fantastic place. It will not be a short review, because those kind of reviews become tips on Yelp. But enough about you, let's talk about me. I have 1600+ beers on Untappd, so I'm not a complete noob. Or maybe I am. Whatever. Stateside is a FANTASTIC place for craft beer. Go there. Go there NOW. You won't be sorry. It is a great bottle shop and they pour SUPER flights of beer and cider. read more

Review is from 01/21/2015 - Three of us came here Thursday night about 8:15pm (They close at 9pm) and I couldn't be happier with my first experience here... We ordered a couple of beer flights and a single poor or a sour beer he had on tap (my new thing). Everything was amazing... Patrick took the time to walk us through each beer and answered all the questions we had about the wide variety of beers he has in stock. I'm definitely coming back (matter of fact I might go back today). Place is extremely clean and has a cool vibe to it. Thanks Patrick, from Sergio, Kelly and Jennifer. read more
