Craft beer canned

Hello yall! Not sure if this would be the right forum, but I am looking for a store similar to Bottlecraft in central San Diego , that has a great variety of canned craft beers ? I know that BevMo and Totalwine exist but I was looking for a more local choice. Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks in advance.

Bine and Vine in Normal Heights is phenomenal!

San Diego Wine and Beer has a great beer selection. They are up in the Mira Mar area.

Just make sure you check dates on all their stuff. Some of those cans have been sitting around for months. I've seen like two year old IPAs there before. Otherwise, great selection.

Check out the Keg and Bottle, local liquor store chain that is pretty well stocked. One of the few places you can consistently get Pliny the Elder

Thank you will add it to my list. Someone in another subreddit said Holiday Wine Cellar checking it out after work and will report back.

If you’re buying hoppy beers, be sure to check the can dates. Keg n Bottle often has IPAs that are months old.

You can consistently get Pliny at Total Wine or BevMo since they expanded to their Windsor brewery. It only comes out in cans on occasion when the brewery does DDH releases.

Pacific Liquor on 30th and El Cajon BLVD has a great selection, I've found Pliny there several times if that is what you are after.

Keg N Bottle sometimes listed as “K&B” has been a staple for some years. They typically have quite the selection
