Harris Teeter #91 - North Elm Village

 

LOL, I actually got lost tonight and ended up on Pisgah Church road by some luck, must be the pisgah in me. But It was not on my list of places to go today, but I stumbled upon it and to be honest just ran in to use the facilities. A small cooler of beer was on one side of the store and they seemed to have multiple floor displays out as well. One with a smuttynose twelve pack, another with magic hat. Some Aprihop as well located on one aisle. Not a bad selection, but I had seen better and it was getting late and I wanted back to the hotel so I did not stay long. If I lived in the area I would be pleased.

Stopped in here when I was in the area today. The beer section is in the back right corner of the store. Everything is in coolers which is nice. Makes this a nice beer-stop when the beer will be consumed soon thereafter. The selection was pretty average for the area's HTs. Some DFH, Bell's, SN, Highland, Terrapin, etc. I've seen better, and I've seen worse. One selection I saw that I hadn't anywhere else was the mixed Dundee 12-pack. Now granted, that's not a great rare beer or anything, but it was nice to see some other Dundee beers besides the Honey Brown, which is everywhere! I grabbed one of these 12-packs. All in all, not a bad place to grab some chilled beer when you're in the area.

I stopped in here today after I dropped off a package at the UPS store. The beer is in the back corner of the store and aside from a few displays it is all refrigerated. The quality seams good from what I've bought there. Not any issues I could really see.

Not much service, but I don't fell I would have needed any help with anything.

The selection seams pretty decent, almost half the space is taking up by BMC stuff and the like but they do have some micros Chimay, Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams and a few local things like Natty Greene's.

Prices seam a little high but most of everything there including food seams to have a bit of a markup.

Overall its not too bad. I would stop in here if I happened to be by but there are other places with a better selection and better prices.

I dropped by here for the first time in a while the other day. A nice beer selection of micros and imports, but there are HT's in the area with a better selection. Quality isn't an issue I've run into with what I bought so far, and everything is kept refrigerated. I remember seeing some things I thought might've been a little older on the shelves, but can't recall what they were.

There is no service, it's a grocery store.

This location like most others has a small but solid selection of Belgians such as Chimay and Duvel, along with micros such as Sierra Nevada, DFH, SA, and Flying Dog.

Prices are ok, but a bit of a markup because it is HT.

If I were in this area of town and needed beer, I'd surely stop here, but I doubt it's anything I'd make a special trip to more than a couple of times a year.

As the alcohol laws of NC have, shall we say improved, so has the selection at this HT location. They have a rather large selection of beer here, at least half of which is dedicated to imports and micros-- something rare for a NC grocery store. Some of the selections include Dogfish 90 min IPA, a few Samuel Smith selections, all 3 of the Chimay varieties, Young's Barley Wine and Chocolate Stout, several crafts of Sam Adams, Orval, and Rogue. In this part of town it's probably about your best bet if you are looking to take home some good beer.

The only downside to the store is the service, which has its pros and cons. I must say that everyone there is incredibly friendly, polite, professional etc. but as far as knowledge of beer you are on your own. But, hey it's not a specialty store and as long as they are friendly and willing to help no complaints.

Prices are reasonable here depending on the beer that you are buying. Some beers are cheaper here than at some places, others selections are not but all in all not bad.

There are places in GSO where you have more to choose from, but you can also find some great beer here and at competitive prices.
