James' Farewell Free-For-All: A Cellar Release


After six years of servicing our store and our customers, James is leaving our beloved beer department and Lukas Liquor Superstore. He is pursuing something greater in our industry and we wish him all the success he can create. It has been my honor to partner with James over the last several years. With his help we have grown this beer department into a monster with great loyal customers, a walk-in bomber room that can't be rivaled and a knowledgeable staff that cares.

James has been in charge of our "Attic" cellar for some time now. 
Unfortunately he can't take that with him. 
On Saturday May 17 at 3:00 p.m. he will have free rein to release any of our Limited Releases, Vintage Beers, Rare Bottles, and anything else he can let go of. 
No lists. No Limits. No Reservations. 

In addition to James' Farewell Free-For-All here are our

"Look, Marvin, you gotta play. See, that's where they kiss for the first time on the dance floor. And if there's no music, they can't dance. If they can't dance, they can't kiss. If they can't kiss they can't fall in love, and I'm history."
