re: Best store in Baton Rouge to buy beer?

To echo the earlier comments: Calandro's on Perkins is the best, followed by Cuban Liquor. Matherne's on Bluebonnet is good, but the prices seem to be a little bit higher than everywhere else. Whole Foods has a good selection. I went into the Beverage Store briefly yesterday for the first time in a while. It was OK, but I need to check it out more. And if you're going to a national grocery store, Albertson's has a way better beer selection than Winn Dixie, Wal-Mart and Target.

One thing i want to add.
Beer freshness, aka turnover.
If you are a hop fanatic be weary of where you get your beers. Calandro's has a very good rate of turnover, so you typically won't find many ipa's brewed in 2011/ early 2012 still for sale.
Cuban is also good at this. Whole foods, i'd make sure to check the date. I swear i've seen the same 6 packs still sitting in the beer section from 2 years ago. But i rarely buy my beer from here, so i could be mistaken.
