who goes there to mix and match 6 packs? i think its a great idea. they have a lot of really good beer and it isn't very expensive.

3/28/2007 9:02:23 PM

never been there but I do it at total wine and especially at Sam's Quick Stop

3/28/2007 9:10:23 PM

it is cheaper at trader joes but total wine def has the better selection

3/28/2007 9:17:46 PM

mix and match? you can do that? neato!

3/28/2007 9:17:58 PM

does trader joes have real rock?

3/28/2007 10:26:20 PM

the rednecks do this and get a 6er of Miller Lite, Budweiser, Coors, High Life, Busch and Natty Light

3/28/2007 10:31:15 PM

trader joes has maybe 15 or so beers

5 or so of these are their store brand, which are good because they are cheap

3/28/2007 10:40:53 PM

^ that sucks go to sam's quick stop, you won't regret it if you love beer and happen to be out that way

3/28/2007 10:51:29 PM

their Frugal Joe's Ordinary Beer is fantastic

3/28/2007 11:29:33 PM

that was the only one i thought blew ass

3/28/2007 11:35:26 PM

^^ nah that is the absolute best. i'm drinking read seal ale right now. a couple of the beers taste like coffee. but if you find one you really like then you are in good shape. "they only have 15 different types of beer" but Joe's switches from month to month on their selection. i dont know, if you are looking for some new beer go out to trader joes. if you want bush light go to food lion.

Virgils root BEER ftw, haha my brother is the operation manager of that company.

3/29/2007 1:04:29 AM

^^ um red seal ale is a common beer at a lot of non-college bars/hippy colleges (even on draft).

3/29/2007 1:18:50 AM

^thats a good place, last I heard saucer got a lot of shit from there. However, Sams that dump in durham has more beer.

hey budman97420, have you ever been to sam's quick stop? i here its reel good.

3/29/2007 6:55:27 AM

Total wine has a pretty good selection - I frequently mix and match 6packs. Sam's Quik Stop is fucking choice as well, they have the most selection in terms of 6packs around. Peace street market is cheaper than total wine and the selection is about 1/2 the total number of beers carried, but they have all the important/interesting ones.

3/29/2007 10:15:22 AM

peace st. market

sure, if you consider nearly $1 per beer to be cheap

3/29/2007 11:34:01 AM

whatever man, we're not talking about pabst here...singles of decent beer usually cost around $1.75 or $7 for a six-pack, so yes, 90 cents per single and six-packs for about $5 is cheap

sam's is nice, but both peace street and whole foods are much closer and are really good places

3/29/2007 12:11:43 PM

yeah exactly. you pay for what you get. I didn't know that about the selection at sam's though. good info

3/29/2007 10:54:24 PM

^^ its $5.49 per six pack, and I don't see what the big draw is if I can get quality beer for $6 or less per six pack at peace/grocery/etc. just doesn't sound all that "cheap" unless its truly superior beer.

3/29/2007 11:47:20 PM

I'm not even saying it's great, or even really good. But $5.49 is like bud light cheap, and the shit is ok...that's the draw. I'd also like to know what quality beer you are getting for <$6. No need to argue over pocket change though, I'm just saying.

3/29/2007 11:58:22 PM

I'd say Whole Foods is the best place in Raleigh to get beer. They might not have the selection that Peace St has, but the staff actually cares about the beer and don't just order whatever they can get and let it sit in the coolers for 3 years.

3/30/2007 10:22:02 AM

i built a 6 pack at total wine that cost me $15. But it didnt include several high gravity beers including a french beer that was 13% and brooklyn barelywine style ale which was 10%.

3/30/2007 11:33:52 AM

i like trader joe's amber

3/30/2007 2:56:04 PM

their merlot isn't too bad either for the price!

3/30/2007 7:19:41 PM

yeah that have a great wine selection...and you can actually call their wine cheap (aka inexpensive)

3/30/2007 8:01:35 PM

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
