Whether you want to pick up a craft brew to take home or prefer to settle into the beer garden after popping the top, these bottle shops are worth skipping the grocery store selection.
This tucked-away beer garden and bottle shop in Winston-Salem is a hidden gem known for live music — jazz night on Thursdays is especially popular — and a large tap selection, which even includes cider and kombucha. In warmer months, you can sip your drink on the gravel patio or near the open garage doors for a view of the action inside.
Located on the Rocky Mount Mills campus, this bottle shop is not actually surrounded by water — or goats. Instead, it’s named after an island in the nearby Tar River, and is located in a historic toolshed from the original mill property. Choose a brew — there are hundreds of bottles and cans to browse, as well as a rotating tap — and kick back in the beer garden, which features string lights, long tables, and live music.
Sam’s Bottle Shop has deep roots in Durham: It began as Sam’s Quik Shop, a legendary convenience store that opened near Duke’s campus in 1974. Today, this larger store in south Durham offers a huge selection of craft beers (and wines) to peruse, plus a rotating tap. Make sure you journey upstairs to find the tasting room and outdoor deck.
This award-winning south Asheville bottle shop and hangout features 21 rotating taps, plus a selection of bottles and cans. If you’re hungry, order from Marco’s Pizza a few doors down and bring your dinner into the taproom. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, Craft Centric offers a much-loved trivia night.
Whether you’re looking for a North Carolina IPA or a Bud Light, you’ll have options at this one-stop shop. After you make your selection, venture out to the beachy backyard beer garden — kid-friendly and dog-friendly — and slip into an Adirondack chair.
