Heading to Charlotte for work

Heist releases cans (about) once a month and thy sell out in hours. The last release was Sept 23 so the next one will probably be Oct 21 at the earliest.

Your best bet to get Heist cans is to set up an IP trade.

You can always get crowlers of anything they have on at the brewery though.

 

No Heist cans anywhere. Brewery is a short Uber from downtown though. As mentioned above, you can get a crowler fill of anything they have on draft. However I don't see and NEIPA's on the list right now but that can change as they usually have one on for the weekend. They go through these very quickly and are typically out by Monday.

Head over to Wooden Robot for their hazy IPA "What He's Having V.15" No crowlers tho.

 

Grab some GABF silver medal winning Olde Hickory Event Horizon (BA Imperial Stout). Should still be on shelves at some bottle shops. Noda is releasing their wet hop today (no idea if its good or not but getting good reviews on untappd). I really dig Birdsong Jalapeno PA. Triple C's barrel aged stuff is usually good. If your from Philly you can skip the Wicked Weed but if your from outside Philly, grab all the WW sours you can afford! If you can find some Fonta Flora bottles, grab those as well (likely only found at Good Bottle or Salud). Their beers sound weird as shit but they are typically fantastic.

 

That strangle little bottle shop (Salud) and Good Bottle Co are still the closest full fledged bottle shop. One is an 5 min Uber, one is light rail. You could Uber to Brawleys as well but is further.
Salud is a nano-brewery now and is near Heist. Good Bottle is in South End and within a mile or so of a handful of breweries (Triple C, Sycamore, Olde Meck, Lenny Boy, Wooden Robot)

 

Not sure if we are the strange place but we are located in the NODA arts district near HeisT. We have our full inventory on our website saludbeershop.com.

 

I bet it was the plaza midwood Common Market. "Strange deli" fits the bill.

 

Yeah your probably right! I never think of CM (either location) as a bottle shop, more of a place to grab a beer.

 

The wet hop beer NoDa released yesterday at the brewery is quite good and worth picking up.

 

If you have the chance, hit Brawley's on Park Rd. You'll not regret stopping in. Great retail shop and place to have a few. Very nice people...... Also, while you're at it, tell Cam Newton to get well, stop posing and farting around, and get to playing some damned FOOTBALL!

 

All good calls - but I'll add:
