How excited am I to have a craft beer store in Clayton? Overly, most people would say. Is it hard…read moreto find? It is if you're using GPS. (Check the note at the end for more details.) Does it have refrigerated beer? I'm sooooo happy. What about one with actual drafts that I would like to drink on tap? Even better. The downfall of most craft beer shops is that they just overload everything with what is on trend. I don't know what happened with IPAs, but all of a sudden they pimped IPAs everywhere. Even worse is the "balanced IPA". If the hops don't rip your tongue off, it's not an IPA. But I digress... Clayton Beverage Company has a really balanced selection of beers: Fruit, sour, IPA, lagers, specialty beers, whatever. I am happy to inform Allison that the Belgian selection has improved somewhat. A Kasteel Rouge for $5.99 an 11.5 oz. bottle is a bit much for my taste, but it's there. Where the Belgian Selection (or belgian style) selections really get going are in my pet category: Sours. And there are plenty to choose from. I walked out with a nice, cold bottle of Petrus Aged Pale and another sour that I'm not yet familiar with. Glassware is here, as well. Pints, snifters, any glassware that you care to take home is available at reasonable prices. Now to the pints on draft: I'd seen a Peanut Butter Stout on tap. And I tried it, and it was fantastic. Unfortunately, it's a keg only offering. Yet another thing I appreciate: Someone ordering a beer that isn't available via any other means. I should have asked for a growler. Maybe I still will. Prices are higher than they might be at a larger store, but well within reason considering that you don't have to drive to Raleigh or Durham for a better than average beer. WIth supermarkets shrinking their craft beer selections chain-wide, the bottle shop becomes a more viable and better alternative. I'll be back, thankful that I don't have to drive 15 minutes out of the way to get something decent to drink. Excellent selection and a great addition to Clayton as a community. 5* Notes: This is in the Bank of America section of Clayton Corners. GPS will keep you in a loop, coming in and going back out onto the highway. Go to Bank of America, take a right, and keep going till you reach the end. It's across from the building that holds the Tax Preparation Services.

Bartender was Super friendly and helpful- many craft beers available for takeout or drink in. Bartender had his super friendly dog that just wanted you to throw the ball ( dog came over because we wanted it too) Construction on bar will have new opening facing a different way to open to a patio.

Very cute place. However, there's not a huge selection. They do have many local craft beers, though.read more

Ordered their Thanksgiving meal again this year, and it was flavorful!…read more The turkey, an offering of both white and dark meat, was juicy and tender. The roasted brussels sprouts would make a believer out of anyone who claims they do not like brussels sprouts. Bits of ham in a balsamic reduction. Garlic mashed potatoes were a golden treat, creamy, with the right amount of garlic. Mac and cheese, wow, a pinkish color, but so creamy, cheesy and buttery. Wish I knew how to make them. Easy to follow directions for reheating. Ordered enough for two. It was perfect.

In general,you'll have Vacuum sealed food that's reheated in hot water or flash fried upon arrival. Either very bland or very salty food. Some Management will put aside Bride and groom needs when addressed by staff just to pull a power play and put off needs of paying customers. Some of them smell like cigarette butts or take smoke breaks on the clock so its unapealing to guests to see . If you have a cake you're wanting to have served after the initial couples cutting, be prepared for it to be crumbled and unappealing to the eye. If you dont mind how the cake looks at that point in time then That's a plus (hey some people dont at this point of the night)? Mashed potatoes are usually good. Meat...specifically chicken...any chicken, is usually dry and rubbery. BBQ is good but can be really greasy. Crabcakes are more breaded and do not taste like real crabcakes...think dry or cardboard hush puppy in the form of a flattened tater tots (no offense to tater tots). Coffee service never works out correctly. Seasonal toast is usually interesting and Might be one of the best options on the menu. Caprese skewers dont come with basil, it's a half a cherry tomato and a small mozz ball. During a tasting that happened people where people were supposed to taste different items on a menu some things went haywire and some guests didn't even get to taste all of the items they were supposed to. It was pretty disappointing for those who paid a lot of money to go to this tasting and really didn't get to taste what they were promised.

A very rude, vile young lady who obviously hates her job as a cashier and customer service representative. She rang my items up incorrectly three times and when I corrected her, I got the " hissing sound" of the young ladies that are angry they were corrected. I watched in silence and was astounding that this young lady is on the front lines of waiting on customers. I asked for managers and names. As I was leaving, I did run into Austin, and we discussed what Miss Serenity did. His comment was " thats unacceptable and she will be written up." I am definitely not trying to get this young lady in trouble, maybe a 2nd time around in customer training is what needs to happen. Serenity, do better babe! Do better!

I was mainly coming to get a bottle of crown and 2 bottles of vodka, one for mixing and one for yellow shots. The selection seemed pretty small, especially since I'm use to larger stores as I live in Greensboro, NC. Staff were also in the process of restocking. There were some things out of stock. Nonetheless, I got everything I needed. They do sell packs of mini bottles, which I thought was cool! Vernon was the cashier who checked me out. He was friendly!
