The Beerded Lady Bottle Shop

So thrilled to see a bottle shop in my little hometown!
The location is the only possible downfall because there’s not much else in Forest Hills, but it’s a destination in and of itself so that’s not too big of a deal. The shop is huge! Kudos for that… Wide spaced shelves, plenty of room at the taps, a decent wine selection for non beer nerds, and a comfy sitting area with games.
The taps feature heavily local beer, a great thing when you are in an area of tons of up and coming local breweries that are proving why NC is second to only Cali in craft beer production. They also are not themed and have great variety.
The shop is organized by style, which I’m coming around to… I typically like my shop organized by brewery but I think it makes more sense for the average beer drinker and new explorer to organize by style. Huge variety and a larger refrigerated section than most.
My favorite part is the discount shelf… Recently or soon to expire beer that is marked down pretty significantly. It allowed me to try a few extra for not a lot of green. Pretty awesome if you ask me!
All in all, I’m impressed, which is good because it’s the second closest shop to me, and I definitely see becoming a regular.

Very nice place. Couple that owns this establishment are very nice. Great to talk with. Great service. Tap has many beers that you don’t find anywhere else. A great selection. Shelves are full of many of the top beers. A wonderful place to spend the evening. And yes they are dog friendly.

I would say this is the best up and coming bottle shop in the Triangle. It has the biggest selection by far of any bottle shop I have been to and I have to most of the ones out there. There is plenty of seating at the bar, a few table tops and outdoor seating. There is also quite a few beers on tap. They have a decent wine selection and non alcoholic choices for your dd.
The atmosphere is a bit more mature and I did not get a stuck up hipster vibe at all. The owners are a couple who have worked hard to open the shop. This is important, because it shows it can still be done without the mega investors.
They are dog friendly. There are also restaurants and cafes you can bring food from to eat while enjoying your beer.

We were absolutely thrilled that a bottle shop has finally come to Garner. What a dream!
Centrally located off highway 70, the Beerded Lady is easy to find and a nice quick stop when running errands on the weekend.
The shop has a fantastic selection of bottled beer and cider with lots of local and national hard-​to-​find varieties. There are refrigerated coolers that hold items that you may want to enjoy right off the bat.
The most delightful part of the shop is the small bar where you can enjoy a tasty beverage on tap. The owners rotate the selections so there is always something new to try when you visit.
There is a rack of games that visitors are welcome to play, a few high tables, and comfortable couches where one can unwind after a hard week.
The Beerded Lady is dog friendly! Even more reason to bring the pup and stay for awhile.
We love to stop in and chat with the owners and have met some really awesome local folks, some of which we’ve seen at the dog park up the road.
They occasionally have weekend events with bands and food. The grand opening event was super awesome with a fire performer, «freak show», and amazing jugglers. On certain nights of the weeks they have special events, so be sure to like them on facebook.
Overall, a great place to meet new people and enjoy a tasty brew!

EXACTLY what Garner needed! Fantastic draft selection and prices, wonderful rotating stock, and knowledgeable but approachable staff. As a female beer connoisseur, several bottle shops in the area greet me with «Can I help you find our latest wheat beer?» No, thank you, I know what I’m doing. Beerded Lady staff get to know you, sample, and recommend based on YOUR interests.

Excellent people excellent owners excellent selection excellent all day long!
Welcome to Garner

First off, Welcome to Garner and I love the name! It is so nice to finally have a place in Garner to be able to purchase a variety of craft beers from. Mom and I decided to stop by after dinner to check this place out, turns out it has only been open about 2 weeks now.
This was a nice sized bottle shop with seating available both inside and outside. Of course, the drafts are a rotating selection, this time I tried the Double Barley Gourd Rocker Imperial Pumpkin Porter (one of my favorites), Deep River Backcountry Black IPA and Great Lakes Nosferatu. These are available in 5oz, 10oz or 16oz pours! Good, decently priced selection of beers to build my mixer pack before I left.
I will definitely be returning the next time I visit Garner! Turns out there is a pizza place a few doors down where you can get food to eat while you enjoy your beer.
