Stars don't go to 100, sadly, for this place! Owner, Patrick, is very knowledgeable. He listens to what you like and is willing to spend time finding you the beer/cider/wine/snack you want, even if you didn't know that was what you wanted. Amazing selection and verity. He finds hidden gems that will knock your socks off. I've never had a beer from his place I haven't liked. And he will, if he knows your tastes, guide you away from bad choices rather than just go for the sale. If you want personal, knowledgeable, and curated service you could not find a better place than Stateside Craft! (And he sings and has an amazing vinal collection that he plays in the store). Seriously, follow him on Instagram! You get songs and peeks at the new stuff coming into the store. He also has Keto friendly foods! And he has a NEW 12 tap educational flight lists that includes beers and ciders. Go, try, find a new favorite!! He has an "Advent/Christmas" selection that is awesome!! Buy it for a friend. Have him curated a selection for you!

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.

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. :)

Went in here with a friend and left 4 hours later, completely enjoyed the ambiance and the company. Great pours and even better beer selection.

We live in the neighborhood and frequent Atlantic for a night out. Stateside has the best flights on tap (beer flight and a “fruit” flight with ciders, perry, jerkum, etc., in addition to single pours). All the pours we had were incredible (and I am extremely picky when it comes to drinks I actually like). Pat is very knowledgeable about what he serves and hand selects everything in the store and on tap. It’s a one man show but he knows what he’s doing! Highly recommended to friends and family. Stop by and increase your knowledge of everything beer/cider/fermented beverages.

It's the place to go to get beer that you cannot get anywhere else. The guy who runs the place has a great taste in beer, wine, etc. The best beers that I have ever drank I bough at Stateside.

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!

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.

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.

Oct. 13, 2021Well, tonight about 8:05 pm, my husband and I went to have dinner at Wood and Salt on Atlantic in Bixby Knolls.Nice evening. We live in Bixby Knolls just about a block away from Wood and Salt and Stateside Craft, a beer store which opened NOT longer than five years ago, I think.I just walked to Atlantic from my house!I noticed the Stateside Craft and thought I’d look and check out the ice cream they sell. I could see it from the outside!The display case is close to the front door!And the register is at the deep end of the store.I could see the different ice cream in individual pints. It made me salivate and want ice cream tonight.I opened the front door but before I could look at the ice cream display, there was this loud voice in the deep end of the store yelled at me:“Do you have a mask!”This was the first statement I got!I had a mask but I just got out of the Wood and Salt restaurant near the Stateside Craft.I took my mask off my face.You know I am a business owner too.There was NO ONE at this store except the sales person or the owner may be and just me!And I hardly stepped inside!!!I have seen this store from the outside.It was NOT always busy.I thought I’d give it some business?Instead I got yelled at !“Do you have a mask?” a voice from the deep end of the store yelled at me!This store was really designed POORLY!!!From the outside, it never looked inviting!Would you not say first, “May I help you?”Then, ask to please wear a mask and if this customer happened to not haveone, provide one so she can purchase anything from the store. I’d ask my customer if she or he had been to my store?As an owner of a small business also, that is how I would greet a prospective customer.I’ll be friendlier!After all, I want more business, right? At 8 pm!I did not intend to go far inside because if I don’t see the right kind of ice cream, I’m NoT buying!Instead I got yelled at!So I replied in a yell as well!I yelled:“Yes, I do!”So, I left the beer craft store immediately without buying anything!This is not how I wouldgreet and meet a prospective customer!
