Crafty Beer Shop — Restaurant in Raleigh

In a quaint town where whispers of hops blend with cheer, Lies a haven of brews, a place dear, Where the clinking of glasses sings a tune so clear, And the essence of camaraderie is always near. Here at the craft beer shop, the heart finds its peer, Every face tells a story, every cheer rings sincere.

Amidst the tapestry of faces, Jason’s shines bright, A maestro of malts, in the soft lantern light. Once a healer of bodies, now a brewer of night, His laughter is medicine, in the amber glow, bright. He’s traded his stethoscope for craft beer flights, Now he prescribes pints of joy, and tales light.

On Wednesdays, the tavern breathes a jovial sphere, The week’s woes dissolve in the frothy veneer. Jason’s place is a magnet, drawing kindred spirits near, A medley of souls, their stories to share.

The air buzzes with banter, friendship’s sweet cheer, Every face is a narrative, waiting to share, In the ale-induced warmth, camaraderie appears, And the world outside pauses, as if to revere.

Here, the heart finds solace, the soul, its frontier, In the echoes of laughter, life’s troubles veer. With each pour, with each toast, bonds endear, In the realm of hops, friendship’s pathway is clear.

So, here’s to Jason’s craft beer shop, where stories peer, Through the amber hue, life’s essence, we revere, Cheers to the serenity found here, To the blend of souls, to the cheer...

We stopped in for a beer on our way to dinner and was very happy we did.

There is a bit of an industrial feel to this shop with a warm and welcoming feel to it as well. The long bar has plenty of seating, we found a comfortable little couch near the entrance to sit at. They have PLENTY of very unique and great tasting beers to choose from, so which ever side of the scale your drinking on I am sure you will find something. They also have a selection of bottled beer on the shelves for sale.

I prefer a dark and complicated beer, something that taste like anything but the typical BEER and they had just the thing for me. From founders brewing, it was a flavored stout called KBS and it was ale brewed with chocolate and coffee and aged in bourbon barrels. We purchased the remainder of what they had in stock on the way out.

Shortly after we arrived the live music started up, a very talented musician who also had a very good voice and excellent selection of songs he sang.

We will be returning very...

5-Star Review: A True Gem in Raleigh’s Craft Beer Scene

If you're a craft beer lover in Raleigh and haven’t been to this shop yet, you're seriously missing out. The selection is top-tier—everything from local North Carolina breweries to rare finds you won’t see anywhere else. Whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or rich stouts, there’s always something new and exciting to try.

But what really sets this place apart is the people—especially Jason. He’s not just knowledgeable; he’s genuinely passionate about beer and goes out of his way to make every customer feel welcome. Jason has recommended several beers that have become instant favorites for me. His ability to read your taste and suggest something spot-on is uncanny. Plus, he’s just a great guy to chat with while browsing or hanging out.

This place isn’t just a store—it’s a community hub for beer lovers, and Jason is a big part of why that vibe works so well. Highly recommend...
