You have so many beers to choose from. Fruity beers, Belgians, Lagers, IPAs, high gravity beers, Hefeweizens...the list is endless.


This Pyramid Apricot Ale is dedicated to YOU.

not to mention the wine selection...

3/7/2010 11:18:54 PM

agreed

3/7/2010 11:20:52 PM

If you think Total Wine has a great beer selection then Sam's Blue Light would blow your mind.

3/7/2010 11:21:01 PM

Yeah, that actually makes me giggle bdmazur. Because I hate wine but I'll totally go there and create 2 or 3 of the Make Your Own 6-packs. That's what I did on Friday, when I came home with all sorts of fruity beers.

3/7/2010 11:22:32 PM

Do you guys have bevmo?

3/7/2010 11:27:33 PM

is that a beer or a store?

3/7/2010 11:27:51 PM

3/7/2010 11:29:08 PM

there are a lot of places with a much better beer selection than total wine.

some of these places are gas stations.

3/7/2010 11:29:09 PM

http://www.bevmo.com/

All their wine is buy one get one for 5 cents now.

Its a nice store.

3/7/2010 11:29:41 PM

^^you've gotta be kidding me

there are quite possibly over 150 different beers in Total Wine

3/7/2010 11:31:04 PM

haha @ BevMo in north carolina

we're not nearly lucky enough to have a BevMo....or a private-run wine/beer/liquor store for that matter

3/7/2010 11:33:37 PM

did not know, but ya i do love being able to buy liquor in a grocery store and not have to go to the abc store.

3/7/2010 11:35:23 PM

Haha

College Beverage
Peace Street Market
Team Beverage (gas station)
Tyler's Bottle Shop

And, the best beer store in the Triangle, probably in NC: Sam's Quik Shop in durham.

3/7/2010 11:37:18 PM

do any of those places allow you to buy individual beers and make your own 6pack? cuz that's the most appealing thing to me at Total Wine.

3/7/2010 11:39:30 PM

yes, and you are not limited to 6.

you can make any integer based pack your liver desires.

3/7/2010 11:41:28 PM

well yeah, it's the same way at Total Wine. every individual beer has a price. you pick whatever you want.

no offense, but i don't see a gas station having the expansive selection that Total Wine has

3/7/2010 11:43:33 PM

^^

32 or 64 bit?


I went to peace street market when i was a few weeks past 21. Guy told me I was 6' and not 5'11" like my license stated. Kind of...odd. First and last time anyone has ever noticed it being wrong.

At least you're right about something tonight.

That's because you have no idea what you're talking about. Sam's Quick Shop (also known as Sam's Blue Light) has over 1500 beers and it is a gas station. Also Total Wine overcharges you for the "privilege" of making your own 6 pack.

I'll say it. I had my doubts as well. Sounds like a good place to go.

You obviously haven't been to any of the places bobby pointed out. Hell, peace street market probably has 300+ to choose from (at least they did when I was last there 3 years ago).

Total wine has like 1/2 of one aisle of beers.

3/7/2010 11:48:26 PM

Team Beverage may be able to compete with total wine, but Peace Street and College Beverage most certainly do not. They have more variety of malt liquor, but that's about it.

[Edited on March 7, 2010 at 11:50 PM. Reason : ^total wine has more floor space dedicated to beer than peace street has in its entirety]

My license is somehow 5" off from my actual height. No one has called me out on it yet, but I would say there is a pretty large difference in 6'-0" and 6'-5".

3/7/2010 11:49:20 PM

I'm going to agree on peace street being lacking. It is really good for a conv. store dont get me wrong. I just dont think it is as good as TW. Every visit over to peace street also helps the clutch industry out.


^

I actually F'd up getting my new one. Guy says "Does an inch really make a difference?" . hahahahaahahah



[Edited on March 7, 2010 at 11:51 PM. Reason : [yes]]

3/7/2010 11:50:39 PM

The only reason to go to Peace Street is for the entertainment value of being told your license is fake by a cashier that appears to be in the country on an expired student visa.

3/7/2010 11:53:47 PM

hahhahahaha

You're kidding right? There are 2 mini-aisles devoted to single beers available for Make Your Own 6-packs. Then there are at least 2 full aisles devoted to 4-packs and 6-packs.

I'm not gonna argue that these other "gas stations" don't have a better selection because I've never been there.

All I'm saying is, Total Wine has a great selection for me

3/7/2010 11:54:39 PM

Sam's Quik Shop is fucking incredible.

Total Wine's beer selection is severely lacking for an alcohol-specific store. I always go to Peace Street.

3/7/2010 11:56:16 PM

Well, I always go to Total Wine. Guess that's something we don't have in common.

Oh well.

I really have no problem with Total Wine, and they do have a pretty good selection, they just don't have the best selection, at least not in North Carolina. Also, they shouldn't charge so much more for the privilege of breaking 6 packs but whatever.

i never said they were the best

just that i love them

3/8/2010 12:00:49 AM

they need half an aisle of malt liquor and the entire line of MD20/20 flavors to have the best selection.

3/8/2010 12:03:22 AM

AA

3/8/2010 12:06:24 AM

I love total wine for the wine.

3/8/2010 12:12:04 AM

Peace St. Market has the best beer selection in Raleigh. As far as wine goes, having more quantity doesn't mean it's a better selection. I'll take my wine store against Total in a fuckin Pepsi challenge any day of the week. If you're going to Total to buy loss leaders, you're getting a good deal; if it's one of their "house brands," you're paying WAAAY too much.

total wine is alright but like 50% percent of their shit is beyond expiration

and tw might have more quantity, but I've found better quality at peace street every time

sam's ftw though

3/8/2010 12:25:02 AM

so basically eleusis has been to peace street market once

and he paid more attention to the cashier than the beer selection because he's a fucking faggot

This is a valid criticism, however the same thing could be said for Peace Street...they have some old ass imports there.

3/8/2010 12:28:50 AM

i love how everyone on TWW posts their opinion as though it's the end-all-be-all of opinions

opinions are like assholes ya'll

and i like Total Wine's beer selection

i'm not inferior to any of you faggots simply because i like Total Wine

but it's OK if you wanna think i'm in an inferior faggot who doesn't know any better

bevmo is awesome, but to be fair only a select number of wines are part of the 5-cent wine sale (which is bi-annual, i think, and totally awesome)

can't comment on total wine or other beer-buying places in the triangle though... was quite pleased with ingles' beer selection in asheville when i was home over christmas...

very true - didn't mean to imply that they didn't have old stuff lying aroundn, just that they carry some cool stuff I've never found at tw

missing from this thread is 6-12 Market - pretty small selection but singles of anything in-store with no upcharge

3/8/2010 12:33:54 AM

seriously ya'll, up until a month ago, i was a strictly Miller Lite girl. that's all i ever drank.

the fact that i'm even branching out and buying something other than Miller Lite should result in a pat-on-the-back.

3/8/2010 12:34:19 AM

every time I've been to Peace Street or 6-twelve, I've had to dust off the bottles before I drank them. any argument about total wine having expired merchandise is just ignorant babble from people who want to knock a chain store.
