We went here with a Groupon-esque deal in hand giving us two flights for $10. We've passed by the place constantly but I never knew they had the bar with beers on tap, and always assumed it was just a beer distributor. It's nice to find a place that does both...the ability to sample a beer and then buy a six pack of it is pretty good.
We went in around 3:30 in the afternoon and the place was hopping. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and showed no grudge towards pouring two flights of beer for the deal we had. The six beers on tap are changed weekly or more often so you could go in several times a month and have totally different flights. One of my only complaints is the lack of food. I'm the kind of person who needs to have something to eat while enjoying a beer or two, and they don't have a kitchen on site. They do offer a menu from Restaurant X that is two buildings down and they will deliver food to you, but with Restaurant X opening at 5:00 there was no way to get some food in our bellies.
After downing the flights we walked about the sales floor. There is a crazy selection of microbrews, including some local ones from good ol' NC. I have to say that we walked out empty handed as while the beer selection is extravagant, so are the prices.
I do enjoy the concept of having a bar in the middle of the beer store. I just wish the prices for the bottles were slightly more reasonable (the draft prices seemed to be just right.)
