It's a shame that I have lived in Charlotte for four years and I have now just visited Brawleys. Bad beer snob I am. I called about picking up some Southern Tier PumKing and was told they could hold one for me. When I arrived the lady remembered my voice, which was a pleasant surprise. She could also tell I was a new customer due to how wide my eyes got when I entered the store. She gave me a little tour, asked me which style of beer I prefer. Once I told her IPA's are my favorite she showed me a lot that sell like hot cakes that I should check out. I then had the pleasure of speaking with Mike about ordering beer from out of state, which he told me was a possibility.
The store is deceivingly small with an ample supply of great micro brews. The service was very friendly and I look forward to returning and trying some of those IPA's. Mike also informed me that I will NOT shop at Total Wine anymore, and he is right. I doubt I return back to Total Wine.
