The only place that gets Great Lakes in the Triangle as of now. The atmosphere is kind of odd. Its kind of small and not very noticeable. Theres only one person working, so asking questions isnt exactly the most feasible idea.
the upside is that they get alot of things. They dont have a ton of anything, but the choices are among some of the best in the area. They dont get what Sam's gets, but they rival them in many ways. They have a decent Belgian section and German selection is decent. They dont have coolers on the wall packed with sixers and 750s/22ozs.
The points where taken off for selection because only one very small cooler is dedicated to mix and match six packs. If you want something thats only in six packs, then you have to buy the whole thing, unless you get lucky and its in the mixed six pack cooler.
If you want a bomber or 750, go here. Its better than Carrboro Beverage Co.

I stopped by TJ's for the first time this past week, and I was very impressed. Their selection was very good, with a nice combination of coolers and shelf beer. I noticed several beers still available here that have been sold out at other local stores. They have a 2 or 3 small coolers with "Mix & Match" singles...with a few singles that were not available as 4-pack or 6-packs. The best surprise was that they had the entire bottled lineup from Olde Hickory Brewing...I'm pretty sure this is the first shop east of Greensboro with OHB products (of course I stocked up on Death By Hops).
I was too preoccupied to really check it out, but it looked like they had a walk-in humidor, which is a cool feature and one the I will explore on my next visit.
What made the experience great was the guys working there. Everybody was helpful, giving recommendations, showing me around the store, helping me deal with my 3-year-old son (by selling him a candy bar), and just talking about beer and the local scene.
This is a place that I'll be going to much more often.
