Elmira Liquors
A Vacaville liquor store on Elmira Road that local beer drinkers have recommended for years, a mile off I-80 and the one bottle shop in this guide between Sacramento and the Bay.
Why it's worth the exit
Elmira Liquors sits in the shopping center at Elmira Road and Allison Drive, and Vacaville's beer drinkers have been pointing each other to it for years. Reviews from 2019 through 2025 keep coming back to the same thing: the craft beer selection.
It's a mile off I-80 at exit 55, so on the long leg between Woodland and Oakland it's an easy stop in either direction.
What's on the shelf
The craft side is the reason to come. Ghost Town Brewing, the West Oakland brewery on our route, lists Elmira Liquors among the accounts it has poured into over the last six months, so the West Oakland beer on this route turns up here, between Sacramento and the Bay.
It's a liquor store, licensed by the state for off-sale only, so there's nothing to drink on site. Buy, keep it cold, and drink it at home.
Before you go
Online listings give different hours, so call ahead at (707) 447-1192 if you're timing the stop. Wherever you buy, check the packaged-on date before the price, especially on anything hoppy, and pick from the cold shelf when there is one.
