We heard live music and knew we had to check it out. The porch is gorgeous and has a view of the lake and you can dock your boat there to get a drink. The woman working was so friendly and made us feel like locals! She would top off my drink while I was sitting outside so stealthily. They had a large selection and it was all very reasonably priced.

This was my first chew at the brew! And I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. Love the wide open layout. I could envision the place hopping at night, full of fun folks with good taste in food and music. My friends, who are regulars, brought me here for lunch. On Friday the 13th. Turned out there was NOTHING superstitious going on. Whew! I gotta give a huge shoutout to our Brew Crew girl, Presley! I ain't crying...about her service, or her style, or her sense of humor. Wink Wink! She made our chew time at the brew a lot of fun. We felt welcome and appreciated. Hey! I got their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich. The one with the little onion crispies and that CRAZY good house made pimento sauce. And the fries are fantastic. It WAS love at first bite. Finger licking good. If food ain't messy, it ain't for me! I'm adding Hiawassee Brew to my 'When in town gotta do!' list.

The location is a little of the main road, but I believe that how you find great places in this town. The store was empty when I walked in but the lady working in the back came out and was happy to help. I looked around and loved the selection of absolutely everything. Many different local choices and although beer wasn't their forte, there were some pretty interesting selections from all over Georgia. The employee (I wish I had gotten her name) discussed the selections and knew a lot about each beer. I decided on two 6-packs with her help and the prices were similar to any other location in the area. Although I'm visiting, I can guarantee if I'm back in town, I'll be stopping by immediately upon entering town.

We parked at the bottom of the venue and had to climb the stairs to the top. If you're lucky, you might catch a ride in the golf cart, but if you're seated in the back, hold on tight because it's a steep ride! We came for the Sunday brunch buffet, which features a different theme each month and never disappoints. If brunch isn't your thing, you can enjoy a wine tasting in the tasting room located below the main dining area. If you're there for brunch, you're also allowed to go back and forth between the tasting room and dining room during your allotted table time. I definitely recommend visiting any time of year; the views alone are worth the trip!

I had heard that it's similar to going to the post office, but for booze. The government doesn't have any competing liquor stores in the state, so they can run their stores however they want. What are you gonna do, drive to Tennessee for that whiskey? Perhaps... But I came in and was pretty pleasantly surprised with their selections and prices. They didn't have the lavish displays like you see in some liquor stores. But I was happy to see that they had a North Carolina section, where they sold about a dozen different locally produced lines of booze, with a nice display and cards explaining a few facts about each liquor. The store didn't sell any beer as far as I could tell. No beer in liquor stores seems a bit foreign to me. The clerk was friendly and made some good recommendations about flavor infused Cackalack moonshines. Parking was easy, and the store was safe and clean. For being a government run operation, there was little/no paperwork involved other than showing my government issued ID.

They literally make you show your driver's license to be able to use a credit or debit card. If the…read morename on the card does not match your license, they will not sell to you. What if you're using a nameless prepaid card (like from a tax refund) or you're using your spouse's card etc. From a legal standpoint, in NC a business can't refuse a transaction if the card is signed on the back. And look, I understand there are criminals out there that steal credit/debit cards. However, that doesn't give this business to treat normal customers as such. The next time I go into this store, I'm going to have my phone out recording. When I get refused service for trying using my wife's debit card (which is a joint account with my name on it), I will file a lawsuit. Whenever I win, every employee following this policy will be out of a job. And if the store manager is enforcing this, I will see to it, that she will get fired too.
