Tyler's Bottle Shop now open in Seaboard Station
Tyler's Bottle Shop, a small craft beer store behind Tyler's Taproom in Raleigh, opened last week.
The store is run by the folks who own the Tyler's Taprooms across the Triangle and a store, the Carrboro Beverage Co. in Carrboro. The Raleigh store will carry 400 types of craft beer when it is fully stocked.
Owner Tyler Huntington says if you can get the beer in the grocery store, you aren't likely to find it at the bottle shop. Rather, the owners are trying to select beers that aren't as readily available.
Patrons of the Carrboro store will recognize manager Jason Cole behind the counter. And Huntington says they plan to continue the Carrboro store's customer service of Cole and his employees getting to know customers' likes and dislikes well enough to recommend beers.
The store also will sell wine, brewery merchandise, barbecue sauces and North Carolina peanuts. Eventually, Huntington says, he would like the store to carry packages of Farmhand Foods sausage. And down the line, Huntington would like to offer coffee and espresso because there's no place nearby for folks to grab a cup of coffee.
The new Tyler's Taproom opened last month in Seaboard Station next to William Peace University and in part of the space formerly occupied by Tookie's Grill. The address is 18 Seaboard Ave., Suite 150.
The entrance to Tyler's Taproom faces downtown Raleigh. The entrance to the bottle shop is on the backside of the building - the same side where patrons enter 18 Seaboard restaurant, which is next door to Tyler's Taproom.
The bottle shop's hours are 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday, although the store may stay open later on Friday and Saturday nights, and noon-8 p.m. Sunday. For more information, go to www.tylers taproom.com .
