Craft Connoisseurs

My new favorite beer store! The most off the wall and delicious selection of sour, smoothie, and slushy beers. Josh always has some interesting samples to try and is just a pleasure to chat with about all things beer. Don't go here looking for your standard Seattle beers. Go and find something new and interesting that you likely haven't experienced before and literally won't find anywhere else in the state.

My absolute number one go to spot for all the best craft beers and IPAs in the entire state!!! The selection is always vast and changing while still keeping the local favorites stocked! Joshua and Bones are so knowledgeable and friendly when it comes to making suggestions! Stop on by if you haven't! Great vibes and brews!

Friendly staff, will help you pick out drinks which is important because they carry really unique stuff - don't come here looking for a basic lager. When I was there majority of the selection were fruity, like sour beers or slushy malt drinks. We got an assortment for a tasting party and while they weren't all winners they were definitely different than what other people brought! There is space inside for like tasting events and I haven't used this service yet but they can also deliver to your home!

So can someone explain to me why I didn't review earlier. I love this place. I still remember when I stumbled into this gem of a store on my way back home. Best accidental finding ever! Both Bones and Josh always make me feel like a close friend. Their recommendations are always top notch and they keep bringing new flavors. This is the place to go if you want a good dessert beer or just to try something new. Seriously just talk to them and they'll guide you through delicious options you never knew existed.

If you’re looking for a new and exciting hole in the wall spot for some exceptional craft beers, this is the best kept secret in MLT.

Whether I’m looking to treat myself or grab some beers to impress friends, the crew over here keeps me hooked up with beers you won’t find anywhere else, and trust me I’ve checked.

Huge selection and weekly rotation of fruited sours, IPA’s, and unique dessert beers. Really love the Urban South’s, especially!

If you’re in the area, stop by. If you’re not in the area, make the drive and still check it out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed!

The guys and girls over at craft connoisseurs are rockstars! Best customer service when messaging through Instagram. Shipping is always lightning fast and I’ve never had a broken can/bottle. They get all of my favorite fruited sours and they are my go to shop for the drop! From a friendly thank you letter to the random free beer surprise, this shop is a 5 star favorite! Keep it up guys and thank you!

Mountlake Terrace now has a bottle shop! I’ve been to Craft Connoisseurs twice since they opened and it’s now my favorite place to pickup beer in the area. Delicious selection of, IPAs, sours and slushy beers. Come for the experience, stay for the friendly service and amazing beers.

Had an amazing conversation with the owners who are very passionate about providing unique and exceptional beer to their community. They curate a great selection of beers from aournd the US. These guys love beer and are very interested in new beer flavors and hearing from beer fans. Very impressed with what they have set up and excited to see their beer selection grow.

LOVE THIS PLACE! If you're seeking an interesting selection of craft beers this is definitely a spot to check out. Co-founder Bones was such a big help and even gave out samples! cya guys again soon !!

These guys have an awesome selection of craft beers. On top of that their customer service is outstanding. If you are in the PNW you can expect lighting fast delivery. I placed an order on Thursday and by Friday morning it was already in the delivery truck ready to go!

Hands down best brew selection around! Staff is super knowledgeable about their product & always steers you into what fits your pallet. If you wanna try somethin’ tasty & different, stop by Craft

This beer is amazing. I've been ordering it online, but just recently went into their shop in Mountlake Terrace. Really cool shop, great beer and great guys working there.

I've seen these brews for up to $25 per can at other places. So compared to that, they have good prices and I can't find these Dank flavors anywhere else in the state of Washington or shipped to my home! My favorite is the Blueberry, the Dank Dabber Mango or the one with Ice Cream in it!

Had a great experience, massive selection of sours and other great picks! The guys that helped me out were super knowledgeable and led me to some great choices. Will definitely be back soon to try more!
**Forgot to mention the lovely guys ran the place, thanks Bones!! Glad you're in the neighborhood!

Best place to get craft beer in the area. The owners and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and their selection is amazing.

If you're looking for for the kinds of craft beer that you'd be lucky to find at other bottle shops, head to Craft Connoisseurs! I'm talking smoothie style sours, or milkshake style IPAs, dessert style beers, pastry beers etc. These are the beers that are usually hard to get unless you live next to the brewery and keep up their drop schedule. I'll definitely be back!

A friend told me about this place and I got real excited. These dudes have some of the best damn beers you can find, and the inventory is constantly changing so you will always be able to find something new . The owners are awesome, and definitely have a passion for there craft. Definitely stop in a grab a few slushys and a good conversation.

I ordered the mystery beer box, the hand picked beers that came in the box were great! It feels like Craft Connoisseurs knew exactly what I liked! They shipped to me in Southern California, I'll definitely be coming back for more! Thanks guys!

Take anything you think of a typical draft beer, tap beer, IPA, throw it out the window, Craft Connoisseurs is home of some of the tastiest and most interesting Craft Beers you can imagine. There HAS to be something to anybody and everybody. These Beers can range from fruity to sour, Cotton candy to vanilla cream, Marshmallow to a PB&J. Wonderful Beer service from both workers! (Boone & Josh) My go-to for some Crafty Dank Beer!

Extremely unique selection of beers you won’t find anywhere else. They specialize in dessert-style sours and experimental flavors. Best part is the friendly staff that will guide you to your new favorite brew!

I love the choices I can get here. Super flavorful, well balanced IPAs, fruited sours, smoothie-styles and sour IPAs. I feel like the folks picking the selection spent a lot of time curating this lil spot, and I’m glad it’s really close to home. Happy to not have to drive to the middle of Seattle to get some stuff I usually spend way too much time trying to get! Guys are really knowledgeable about the products, and are chill.

Last picked up the DIPA from 450 north, part of the nugget series and very balanced for double. Even side lacing, lightly foamy head, and a delicate and bright flavor all the way throughout. I also picked up a raspberry sour IPA from Urban and was way more delicious than it had any right to be, at least from what I kind of judged about it before I tried it. Definitely recommend both of those.

I’ve tried a decent variety of 450s and urban south’s, and I always tend to feel like the taste and experience kind of makes me think I’m somewhere far away in super warm weather, chillin, without much of a care, and man, I wouldn’t trade that experience out for too many things. I’d love to go on a vacation, but that ain’t in the cards right now, and it’s cool with me to be real happy with what I have. Which is definitely dank beer and friends with similar compassion for it. Thrilled to have this spot around.

Thanks guys!
