Recently visited Chip’s while at the Outer Banks. Mostly a wine store but there is certainly a good amount of space devoted to beer (I don’t know exactly but I would say this is about 75% vs. 25% wine to beer). The beer selection is very good and well stocked. The store is very clean and seems orderly. The people in the store seem to know their beer. The prices seem in line with other stores in the general area. Within a 75 mile radius, at least, you will not find a better selection. A must if you are visiting the Outer Banks.

I saw the ad for Chip’s in a local magazine and thought it would be worth a stop. Chip is very knowledgeable and friendly. A very good selection of beers and a decent selection of glassware too. Prices were good and you had the ability to mix and match singles of just about everything. Certainly worth a stop if you are in the area.

Not a real easy place to find but worth seeking out. Chip is very friendly and knowledgeable. Very willing to help you out or just leave you alone to wander. Couple full rows of beer, mix and match sixer’s. Picked up a bunch of Bell’s I can’t get in my neck of NY.

Nice little shop om a non-descrip strip mall. Beer is definitely a small area but nicely set up by style. Really good selection of singles to make your own six pack. Prices not overly bad for a beach town. Nice to see super fresh Two Hearted (bottled in mid July). Other nice beers like Stone Anniv, Old Rasp XII, and Sahti. Chip was helpful and a cool cat to talk to. Will go one more time to stock up on Bells.

Best place on the Outer Banks for beer. Mixed sixers and good selection. LIttle bit pricey but that’s what you get with a monopoly in a resort area like this. Right at Mile Marker 6.

Visited week of 07/13/09. The owner Chip is a great guy. He is friendly, knowledgeable and patient. The wine selection is better than the beer but still, everything else pales in comparison in the area. They have a decent selection of micro’s to keep you going while on vacation. Nice selection of local brews but only a couple of the real good ones. Prices are very reasonable.

Pretty good selection, actually for where I am at great selection. Chip was most helpful. They are very knowlegable and friendly. A good place to pick up decent beer in the outer banks. Very clean and easy to get to.

My first stop in OBX. You won’t find any rarities here, but you will find everything you need to have a good time during you vacation. Forgot your glass? They have plenty to choose from. Good folks there too. Very helpfull.

Finally got in here on the afternoon of Friday June 13th. Found several beers that I have not been able to find back home. Service was very friendly. Offered up a box when I began to hit the 12 beer region. Picked up around 15 beers for about $54. That would have been much lower were it not for the near $20 Allagash Fluxus I purchased. Everything was reasonable and well laid out. Will definitely go back!

Mainly a wine shop with a decent beer selection. Beer is separated by style which is nice. Many micros to choose and you can mix and match.
