i initially just rated three stars... than Beer on TAPz gave their time to ask what would earn five stars inclines me toward four stars just for the effort. why three stars... i shop a handful of the local beer/wine merchants and have a couple that I go to often because 1) the store is well organized and easy to navigate. though I have my fav beverage items, i like to try new things, so 2) variety or specialty options are exciting, and 3) the merchants are knowledgeable, make recommendations and readily help me find what I'm looking for or help me hone whatever craving I'm having... I walked the entire store three or four times at Beer on TAPz; first time, to get acquainted with the layout and take in all the crafted beer offerings... second and third, because it was just hard to take it ALL in, pinpoint sections of interests, then fourth time because I was convinced I must be missing more reds, chocolate infused, organic... so, I was tired, settled on a case of citrus ale. I was asked what I was looking for and when I shared, he had no knowledge of such a thing. Though courteous with my transaction, he was either not knowledgeable or not vested in helping me shop, but more interested in the regz sitting at the bar. I had been there some 30-45 minutes before being asked if I needed assistance.
While I pass this location almost daily, I can't say I would go here again. The bar setup looked great and people were there but, it was very AC-cold and unwelcoming.
Suggestions: label your shelves/areas at minimum, invite new customers to guest list, Facebook page, events or the like so, they can...
Read moreBeer on TAPz is a newly opened beer store located in Germantown, MD. They opened their doors on June 17th. It’s unique designed makes it’s a hidden gem and it’s popularity will skyrocket once discovered. The name Beer on TAPz is a little confusing to where you’re puzzled as to whether this place is a brewery or a beer store. From the outside, you’d automatically assume that it is just a normal beer store. This is not the case. When you first walk in you’re taken back by the open floor space and the high tables and chairs. In the middle you’ll be shocked to find a bar. The bar contains 20 different beers on tap all from local and non local breweries. They also sell 600 different types of beers as well as wines. Beer on TAPz does not offer food but you can bring your own. I highly recommend trying this place out if your the area or...
