Ashur Liquor

This place has a great selection of craft beer, imports and everything. There are rare beers, a bunch of local brews and all the usual suspects. The Stone Delicious IPA is always fresh. (You should try it, but save me a six pack.) And, Albert and everyone who works there is super cool. They are great people.

Seriously! Who would have expected to find a good source for craft beers in a strip mall! These folks care about their beer. They know their product and their customers. If you don’t see what you are looking for then ask them– they’ll see if they can get it in. Always friendly and always have a great selection.

The only liquor store in ib that has a good variety of beer thank god I live near by hehe and most beer prices are cheaper here than other places !

This store has one of the best selections of imported and craft beer I’ve ever seen. The liquor selection is also great. Love the fact that is only a short drive from the pad…

Ok so the cats out of the bag… I’ve told you all about SBD and now here’s my review of it’s partner in crime found about two blocks over, Ashur Liquor.
It’s a little known secret that Imperial Beach houses two liquor stores that easily send BevMo running for the cellar. The first being South Bay Drug and Liquor, an easy find as it’s placed right off Palm Avenue where you can find a wide selection of local micros and limited edition domestic runs. The second is Ashur Liquor, a little more hidden but what South Bay Drug is to locals, Ashur is to the Euro/​Belgian variety.
Nestled behind a Carls Jr. on the South side of Palm Ave, Ashur carries it’s share of glassware, T-​shirts, the above mentioned Belgiums, Trappists, and they even sport their own humidor chock full of cigars.
From Micro to Macro brews you’ll be sure to find it at Ashur (or SBD). Just don’t come in hoping to ask for advice, the guys behind the counter seem to better educated in the realm of spirits than in beer. None the less, you can’t help but appreciate the full wall fridge + 2^nd refrigerated aisle of craft bombers and an additional corner for macros that Ashur dedicates to their beer loving patrons.
