These guys don’t have a ton of beer to choose from, but what they have is pretty damn good. They had the DFH Immortal Ale and Palo Santo, and some other goodies that I don’t have access to here in Greenville, SC. I was impressed with the quality of the selection. I can’t say enough about it. I spoke to one of the owners, and he said that they knew all about rate beer. He said that they constantly were ordering new stuff and he was even willing to order something for me. They had all of the common breweries that I find here in Greenville, but the actual brews that they had were far from common. At least for what I’m used to seeing here in SC. Everything from the Duckrabbit Rabid Dog Imp St, to the Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. If you are in Chattanooga, don’t waste your time going anywhere else.

Nothing new to say in regard to the ambiance or service, all the previous ratings are right on the money. I will add that as of 7/26 they’ve added a good lineup of Weyerbacher products. I got the double simcoe and the hops infusion. They had the impy stout and the barleywine as well. For Chattanooga it is great.

Interesting and slightly oddball place that is only a few miles off of I-75 and is worth the detour. Probably the best overall beer selection (as well as Belgians) in the Chattanooga area. About 75% of the stock is available as singles. Good prices on most, and they even have a small selection of glassware. Nice owner who showed me some singles in the walk-in cooler, and carried my box to the car for me.

Great place, ambience is nil but who cares with a good selection. I bought a couple of cases, got a discount albeit small and they carried it out to my car for me. Would definately recommend for the area.

As far as ambiance goes, there isn’t any. This place has nothing any other store I’ve been in has. They sell smokeless tobacco for crying out loud and the counter reminds me of a convenient store. The guys working inside did seem to want to help me but probably just so I would buy more. They tried to give me a $1 discount on Yeti if I bought two. The selection is however, very good for the area. Allagash, De Dolle, Victory, Lagunitas, Sweetwater, Roddenbach, Ommegang, Duck Rabbit, and Achel just to name a few. If you are around Chattanooga then this is the place as it is only about a ten to fifteen minute drive from Tennessee. I have been to places with more selection but none around Chattanooga.

This is the best beer store bar none in Chattanooga and very likely Atlanta as well. Plenty of Belgians, as this is the owner’s favorite style. Dogfish Head, Victory, Avery, Terrapin, Sweetwater, and Great Divide to name a few. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable and will order anything for you. I wanted some Storm King Stout and it was ordered and in the store in less than a week. This store should be listed under Chattanooga so people will know where to look. I also heard a rumor that the store may be getting some Stone. Much better prices and selection than Riverside in Chattanooga or Holmes in Dalton.

The best selection I’ve seen so far in the Chattanooga area. If you are a beer lover, it is absolutely worth the drive to Fort O to check out Beverage World’s offerings. Their selection is particularly strong in the Belgian, Import, seasonal high-alcohol brews. St. Bernardus, Rochefort, Orval, Chimay Blue, Westmalle, Gouden Carolus, Terrapin, Great Divide, DogFish Head, Sweetwater, Samuel Smith’s, lots of Rogue, Lagunitas, Anchor, and a whole lot more. Better selection than Riverside in North Chatt (although Riverside has a few brands Beverage World doesn’t). Their prices are competitive and the service is excellent. They are open to requests, and are always getting in new brews. The #1 stop for beer in the Chattanooga area! Highly, highly, highly recommended! BTW, don’t fully trust the map provided here. This is in the Food Lion/Big Lots/AutoZone complex at the intersection of LaFayette Rd. & Cloud Springs Rd.

Great store. Definitely the best in the Chattanooga area. Micro brews, Belgian ales, various Europeans, seasonals; you name it. Friendly and knowledgeable staff always ready to assist with information and recommendations. Top notch. Didn’t give it highest ratings possible in Ambiance, Selection and Overall because there is always room for improvement.
