I put in an online order as they do ship to Wyoming. I just got my order today and it was packed very well..no chance of any breakage.

I have to say the whole experience with this order went super smooth and now, I'm looking at 4 bottles each of Dark Horse Brewing's Tres Blueberry Stout and Too Cream Stout and the price of the beers AND shipping didn't exactly send me to the poor house. I love it when that happens.

I noticed that some of the prices on their website looked to be a bit steep compared to the prices I've seen for the same beers on other websites but make of that what you will. I'm very pleased with the efficency of the folks at Randall's in how they processed my order. I'll do business with them again, no problems.

It's good to see another good spot for quality beer open in the city. I've been stopping in frequently since they opened in 2007.

The store is a large renovated warehouse with only half the space being used currently. Everything is well organized and clean and the beer up-to-date. The only drawbacks are nocold beer sold and making your own sixers. That's a small price to pay to find quality beers so close to my home.

Service is available to answer any questions but will not bother you.

The selection is varied and growing with every visit. Domestically, you'll find favorites such as Bell's, Great Divide, New Belgium,North Coast, Odell, and Goose Island among others. The selection of Belgian beers is strong (Trappistes Rochefort, St. Bernardus, Duvel, Houblon Chouffe, Chimay, and many others) along with a nice stable of beers from Germany, the UK, and Canada.

Prices are comparable to everyone else in the area.

One of the few places in the city that has a nice selection. They have some great beers, but not really a anything that will blow your mind. Good selection of Belgians, a variety of German beers, and a solid choice of American micros.

If you want to avoid driving out to the county or over to the "East side" this is the place. It is also very easy to access being just south of I-44 off Jefferson. And there is definitely room to grow, with only about half of the building currently accessible to customers.

Keep in mind that my ratings are based on other stores in St. Louis

Q - this place offers quite a bit of different micros, pretty much all that is available in St Louis (Schlafly, O-Fallon, Founders, Bells, New Holland, Arcadia, Odells, Great Divide, Avery, Goose Island just to name a few).

Service - as this place is reminiscent of giant warehouse, it feels like one can get isolated from others easily. I never really needed any service, but I was glad the guy ringing me up knew his Bells (I was buying their Rye Stout). I usually don't get that when I am buying my beer.

Selection - as mentioned under the quality, this place has a lot to offer. It seems like this place has more overall quantity than The Wine and Cheese Place, however TWCP trumps it in its variety. However, this place still has pretty much anything you want, just as long as it is distributed in MO.

Prices weren't high, nor were they low. I paid what I expected to pay and wasn't disappointed.

I would rank this just behind TWCP as far as selection goes, however I found it easier to locate stuff at Randall's. If you are downtown, this is closer than TWCP; if you are west of downtown, hit up TWCP. If you go to either, you will not be disappointed.

I visited Randall's for the first time about a week ago.I had been on the phone with them numerous times trying to narrow down my shopping list.I originally called them looking for '09 Nemesis and was ecstatic when they told me they had multiple 4 packs available.Charmane(not sure if spelling is correct)helped me out and was very knowledgeable.I purchased the Nemesis 4 pack($25.00),a Trappistes Rochefort 10 and a bomber each of Maharaja and Hog Heaven.The selection was good and service was sufficient.They carry all the usual suspects(Avery,Bells,New Holland,North Coast,Great Divide,Founders)but they also had an excellent selection of German and Belgian beers,including Achel(which is new to this market)and Lindeman's Faro.My only regret was that I didn't visit there before they had sold out of NH Dragon's Milk.Overall,an excellent resource for great beer.

I stopped by Randall's after hitting up the Buffalo Brewing Company, so I was a little buzzed and excited to stop in this huge hall of alcohol.

Immediately upfront there are tons of wines and hard liquors, but I eventually found the beer at the other end of the warehouse. The beer selection was huge but I didn't stick around too long to see what all they had. I definitely need to revisit!

The service was basically limited to the folks working the cash registers. There was a huge amount of customers, so there was little personal interaction. I didn't see anybody advising customers of their beers.

I bought a sixer of Old Foghorn, and it seemed to be reasonably priced, but I didn't really look at the other beer prices to compare and contrast.

Overall this is a huge place, and I wish I spent more than five minutes there. I would recommend at least a half an hour for the first time visitor to see what all beers they have to offer.

If you are looking for a hard to find product whether it be wine, liqour, or beer, Randall's is the place to go. They are stocked to the ceiling with products and offer great prices. Wine and liquor are extremely cheap while beer is only a little below average. I sometimes go without any idea of what I want to buy. You can wander the isles for a while and you will easily find many terrific choices. They often times have samples of wine which is nice. With many cash registers, lines never get too long which allows you to quickly get home and put your booze in the fridge. Don't bring your children because you must be 21 years of age to enter.

Part of the trick is finding this place. It sits behind another building and the signage isn't clear. Once you have found it though you are in for a treat. This place is a warehouse with a huge selection of wine, spirits, and of course, craft beer.

All the major players in the craft industry that distribute in Missouri are represented. The selection is good and I find on most things they have the best price, but that is not always true. They also have a decent selection of European beers. While finding knowledgeable staff, at least when it comes to beer, can be hit or miss, If you are on this site you probably do need a lot of assistance. If you do not see it, they do not have. I also like the way everything is shelved. I find it easy to browse.

They also have a small selection of home brewing supplies.

Randall’s is just off of Jefferson and I-44, part of the same building that houses Johnnie Brock’s Dungeon. Most aisles in the store are really wide and shelves go way up to the high warehouse ceiling. Most are also booze and wine, but the beer section is a nice size and has a good selection. My only gripes are that many of the smaller bottles are not broken down- I buy a lot more bottles when I don’t have to get six-packs just to try something new- and that the inventory didn’t completely match what the website said. One thing I came in for that was supposedly in stock was gone when I was there. The staff is cool. The shelves aren’t as organized as I like, or just organized in a weird way, but that makes for some fun browsing. Picked up some great stuff, like Odell Woodcut 3 and 4, some RJ Rockers for a SC tick, and various other bottles. I come here quite a bit. Prices are higher than TWCP but in line with most of the area, and lower than Friar Tuck.

Came here after lunch at Mattingly's.

This is right of I-44 at Jefferson and is visible from the highway.

The selection was good size. All your major St. Louis options were represented. Schlafly, Founders, Avery, Sierra Nevada, Odell, Lagunitas, Anchor and a good selection of German and Belgian selections.

The service was good but not overbearing. I had one worker ask me if I needed help.

Overall, this is a nice place if you are in the area. I think the selection was still smaller than Friar Tuck and Lukas but still a good store.
