Let me start off by saying....what a find! I found this place from a recommendation from the local Stone Brewery rep. I was looking for a case of Stone IRS and he filled me in on Ledger's. I had always seen this store listed in the Celebrator beer monthly, but never really took a second glance for some reason. Located in Berkeley on University, it's about halfway to Cal. They have a parking lot that holds about 10 cars or so. Not the best of neighboorhoods, but not horrible. The owner (Ed) is a fantastic and very knowledgeble guy. Seemed like he really knows his stuff. He even takes special orders. The selection is pretty amazing. Lots of micros and other beers that you normally can't find around here. Plus lots of stuff that is long gone from just about everywhere. The first time I visited I was lucky to find so many great items. Unibroue 11, 2003 Anchor X-mas, leftover Bigfoot, Delirium Noel, three varieties of Fantome, many obscure brews from all over the world. I even found Pizza Port stuff that I didn't even know was bottled. Was lucky enough to get a couple Frank DIPA. Just a great beer store. If you are into the harder stuff they have about 100 different bottles of single and double malt whiskey. Lots of treasures to be found here.
