| - Frugal MacDoogal's is a nice beer and liquor warehouse located on the state line next to Carowinds. One side is for beer and wine and the other is for liquor. They are carrying more and more craft beers, but the masses generally aren't buying them. I've seen Fat Tire, arguably the most popular craft beer next to Sam Adams, close to expiration. People tend to go here to get a lot of cheap beer for a party and not necessarily to find local or micro brews, They recently installed a growler station which is decent, but doesn't compare to Grapevine's just a few miles down the interstate. Two of the four taps were from New Belgium, another one was from a different Coloroda based brewery, and the only Carolina one was Thomas Creek. I wanted some of that but the keg was spent. They brought a keg of yet another New Belgium beer - the Ranger IPA. I got that because it was relatively inexpensive and it's similar to the Thomas Creek IPA. The actual growler bottles were cheap though at only $3. Most places charges between $10-20 for your first time purchase.
You will find the major beer you want in here, although you will really only save money if buying a lot of it. Also, they offer a cash discount, so if you pay with a credit/debit card you'll pay more (yes, this is perfectly legal). They also do beer and wine tastings, so check their site for details.
