WineStyles Macon

As previously noted, Macon/Warner Robins is a dead spot for good beer. The past few years have gotten better, and WineStyles is one of the reasons. Though their beer selection is not very big, they have a nice variety of styles. More importantly, they let you build your own 6 pack, which gives you a slight discount over just buying individual bottles from 4 and 6 packs. If you want a few random beers to try, you can’t go wrong here.

Stopped by here in late May 2012. Nice little store in a nice looking shopping center. Has a solid selection of at least 100 or so craft beers and a few high caliber imports. Everything is on an island in the middle of the store and there are no coolers. Very helpful clerk brought me out a price list as nothin was marked. Prices were reasonable - most bombers in the $6 or $7 range. I was able to pick up several Clown Shoes, some from JailHouse and a few Port/Lost Abbey. Also had Victory, Rogue, Dogfish Head, the usual craft selection. Received a 5% discount because I bought more than 12 - nice touch. Easy access off of I-475 - stop by if in the area.

Macon is normally a dead zone for beer. Needing to buy some stuff for my Ratebrackets loss, I tried out this place. I was impressed. The selection is small; the 100 different beers sign on the door may be exaggerating, but the quality is amazing. I could have bought the entire stock and not been disappointed. Very beer geek friendly selection. Apparently the guy ordering the beer really knows what he’s doing. I just hope Macon has enough people buying the good stuff to encourage this store to stick with this. Definitely worth the stop.
