The traffic trying to get into this place is aweful all the time it seems. This store is my last resort. The staff doesn’t really seem to care about the customers. I had asked them if they had Samuel Adams The Vixen, and the only response I recieve was "it’s on the shelf." No one showed me where it was, I had to look for what seemed like forever for the beer I was craving. I went back and had asked them if they could show me where it was, all they did was point and repeat "it’s on the shelf" but added "over there." Very rude, and not very knowledgeable about their own inventory.

Took the trip up here after work as it would normally be quite a trek from where I live to pick up a rare style of beer (Faro). They have a fairly large selection of local, micros, & imports. I will be monitoring the beers available here since I think they might continue to have rarer beers longer than at Greens.

Visited on a recent trip to Dahlonega--and boy, am I glad we drove the extra distance to find this place. Best selection of beer I have seen in somewhat rural GA for sure. It took quite a while to browse the beers as it seemed beer was everywhere -- coolers, shelves, hiding in back corners, etc. Noticed some beers from Left Hand, Sweetwater, Allagash, Moylans and Founders that I hadnt seen elsewhere in the area. Definitely more than a few treasures to find if you take the time to look carefully. A must stop in this area.

This is a great place to buy beer if you have time to browse, and know what you’re looking for. They have cases and shelves, and lots of craft beer in almost no semblance of order. 7 or 8 cooler doors of macro and micro selections. I was able to find Duck Rabbit beers, Founders, Bell’s, Terrapin, and Left Hand selections, mixed in with everything else. Employees usually stay up by the register, so I was left to browse, but I did find a few gems. I would definitely return again, if in the area.

Big selection - service not great

Take a right off GA400 N, exit 14 (same exit as Summits). It is on the left by Wal-Mart. Kinda cramped. I’m a small dude, and I caught my self walking sideways down the aisles. Lots of beer. Good beer, bad beer, local beer, foreign beer, new beers, hard to find beer. Newest of the new offerings and hard to find offerings. This is my new place to shop. This is a good go to place when you can’t drive all the way down to Green’s or Bullock’s. Not the biggest selection of those awesome Belgian rarities, but JAX holds their own. I plan to be a regular. Great prices, nice selection of the newest beers. CASH DISCOUNTS!

Great beer selection for somewhere so far north of the city. I have found things here that I have not seen anywhere else in the north Georgia area.

Best overall selection in the Atlanta area in my opinion. They have some domestic 750mm’s that you won’t find anywhere else and a nice array of belgian brews. Cramped inside and the staff can be a little aggressive - I just want to be left alone when contemplating beer purchases. Overall, very good.

This store has gone downhill IMO. The biggest problem I see is that their inventory does not move very fast which leads to certain beers passing their peak - especially IPAs and IIPAs. Additionally, they tend NOT to order current batches of beer, b/c they still have old batches sitting on the shelves. The service in the beer dept. has gone downhill as well. If I ask if they are getting a certain beer in stock, they simply answer, I don’t know. Most of the coolers are reserved for the BMC and local beers which leaves beers like Two Hearted and Stone IPA on the hot shelf. Prices are good. Overall selection isn’t bad, but I have noticed they aren’t getting all the new releases anymore. The one thing this place is good for is finding an old beer that is sold out everywhere else that you don’t mind sitting on a shelf for months.
