Nice store. A little cramped, but for all the right reasons. Amazing selection of imports and microbrews. Some beers thought to have been long gone are here. More english and german imports than I have ever seen elsewhere. German rauchbiers, bottle-conditioned stouts, 12 different rogues, just wonderful. A lot of classics here and pardigms for the styles they represent. Also plenty of warm beer to survive the long drive home. The staff was knowledgable and engaging. Wish I could of singled some stuff out, but I guess that does wreak havoc on stock rotation. The only thing the store needs is a little more space and the 6% cap to be removed. Rerating: After the cap has been lifted. Super selection of what eveyone else doesn’t have. All the standards(Chimay, Rogues, Duvel etc.) Huge quantity of Thomas Hardys’ 2004, (with no limit on how many you can buy!!!!) 90 minute, Pangea, Olde School, Mocha Java Stout, De Dolle Belgians, and an obscene amount of stuff never seen before. Definantly worth the drive.

This place is a Beer snob’s dream. The employees will help you get good beer that will get you drunker than a nine eyed....

beer store in boone. there is alot of beers here, including beers that are hard to find in the other stores. avery beers, left hand, lost coast, alot of NC brews too. they have cheese and a small cigar selection. they also have wine, but i never look at it because they have beers. i have never talked to the staff other than the check out, so i dont know if they know their stuff about beer or not. no need to talk to them if you know yourself, correct? updated 2 years later: this is by far the best beer store ive run across in north carolina. the guys that work there are awesome, and they all know thier stuff about beer. they are starting to get in a few belgians and they have a constantly updated supply of beer. their wine selection is top notch for this town as well. too bad i am graduating, i am going to miss my (almost daily) runs to peabodys. cheers
