Tasty Beverage

Tasty Beverage Co. is a beer, wine and cider store on West Davie Street in downtown Raleigh, and it has become something of an institution among people who take beer seriously. The shelves turn over often, with new arrivals from breweries such as Sierra Nevada and HopFly.

You can buy by the four-pack or pick up a single can to try something once before committing to more. The staff are happy to be asked what is new, and there is something pouring at the store on any given day.

What to know

• Orders can be placed online for local pickup or for delivery.
• Special orders cover beverages the shelves do not already carry.
• The store sells its own merchandise alongside the drinks.
• A tap list is posted so customers can see what is on that day.
