This is definitely the "go-to" place for craft beer in Mt. Pleasant. Looks like a very newly opened store location in a mini-mall area. The inside is set up like a typical big box warehouse store, featuring primarily a huge wine selection.

The craft beer shelves are in the back right hand section of the store with some refrigerated products at the very back of the store. Plenty of good variety on the craft side. Closer to the front of the store is a decent selection of imports.

The staff members were friendly and helpful. I hope this place gets some traction because the selection is better than anyting else I've found in the area. Highly recommended.

A: This place is big warehouse-style place, kind of like Total Wine, but less impersonal. It seemed to be about half of the store was dedicated to wine and half to beer, though it may have skewed one way or another. There are some big coolers in the back of the store with a fair amount of beer. This place doesn't exactly have the most charming atmosphere, but it is clean and well laid out.

Q: The quality of beer was generally pretty good, with a lot of the typical craft beer standards, but also a lot of the macros taking up space as well.

S: I didn't quiz the staff on the beer, but they were extremely friendly and prompt with their help.

S: The selection was pretty solid. I got bottles of Victory Dark Intrigue and Cisco Indie Pale Ale, along with a growler of Westbrook Vanilla Tree Dubbel. There wasn't anything I hadn't seen before, but it was a decent selection: Avery, Rogue, Allagash, Samuel Adams, Stone, etc.

V: A fairly reasonable value here: My growler was $12.99 and the bottles $6.99 and $11.99 respectively. Decent enough.

On the whole, this is a pretty good store. If I lived in Mt. Pleasant I might frequent it, but there's nothing mind-blowing about the selection. Still, worth a look.
