I’m a big fan of this bottle shop! Every time I stop in it seems like something new and excited has just landed. Some times I want to just browse, and other times I want to pick up some info & education on certain beers or breweries and The Community Tap allows me to do both of these things. Knowledgeable staff, I always seem to have a great convo with either Mike or Ed. Just a great shop!

my favorite store in Greenville. Good selection and a very knowledgeable staff.

In town visiting friends this last February, and this place (which I have been wanting to visit since it opened) is just down the street from their new house. Hurray for me! Stopped in the first night to grab a growler of something. They had about 10 taps for growler fills (no consumption on premise), all of which were standout beers. We grabbed a growler of Avery Maharajah. A guy and a girl were working at the time. Both were friendly, but not overly helpful. Great selection of bottles here. The Belgian section was what first stood out to me. Those aren’t usually my ’cup of beer,’ but I was impressed with what was available. Great to see a lot of different breweries represented than I can’t find in the Northern Carolina. Prices were decent. And the vibe/presentation was very cool. I will definitely be back to this place when we visit again. [Side note, if you are visiting and find yourself at this store, make your way across the street to Henry’s Smokehouse for some BBQ. You will not regret it.]

Swung by this place on a roadtrip a while back, and was very glad to have made the stop. Tucked away just a few minutes off of 85, it’s located in a quaint looking part of town. Dark wood decor, a bit of breweriana, and a cramped space well organized and well stocked. Righteously friendly staff, and I very much enjoyed my chat over the 15 minutes or so that I was there. Picked up a few nice bottles (like the Westbrook Farmhouse IPA) and sampled a thing or two on tap. If I’m ever in Greenville again (or on my way to Atlanta) I’ll gladly stop in.

Love these guys! They always point me in the right direction.

I really love this place. It’s small but has a good selection, with staff that remembers your name if you are a regular. They really know their products. They have really wonderful and inexpensive tastings for beer and wine and a well selected growler station. It doesn’t hurt that it’s two minutes from my house, and I find that their prices are comparable (and sometimes cheaper) than grocery stores that carry the same thing.

This place is awesome and it is so good to see a real beer store in Greenville. I was reminded of The Beer Growler in Athens which I visited the day before. The Community Tap is also a sparse, efficient dedicated beer store though they had a bit more interesting of a selection. Some rarities from Thomas Creek, Mikkeller and miscellaneous good Belgian breweries spice up the options, but there aren’t so many beers that it’s overwhelming or rotation of stock appears to be an issue. There are actually 9 taps including one of their own beers, an IPA, which is brewed specifically for them by Thomas Creek and tastes really good. Prices on most things are right in line for the SC market, i.e. cheaper than I’m used to paying in TN or NC. The Community Tap is one of the more excellent beer stores I have visited in a while.

A nice selection of beers for growlers and a store reminescent of Bruisin’ Ales in the quality over quantity presentation. Prices were alright and the help was friendly.

Awesome store. Bottle selection makes it obvious Mike & Ed know what they’re doing, and growlers of rare kegs to boot. Just a cool place to browse and buy beer (or wine.)

Great new store. Pretty small, but clearly quality over quantity. Several tap selections for growlers, and some stuff you don’t find elsewhere. Most is kept warm, a little is kept cold. Very helpful staff.
