So I was on a little mini vacation in Ocean Isle, NC and while the local grocery store had a fairly decent albeit very small selection the area I was seemed like a craft beer wasteland... But me being bound and determined as I am I searched and found out about Lighthouse Beer and Wine in Wrightsville Beach about an hour away!
The store was itty bitty tiny but was packed to the gills with an amazing selection! It's always my first priority when shopping in NC to see if the shop has Jolly Pumpkin and then move on to the other stuff... They had lots of Jolly Pumpkin including the Maui collab which I haven't run across before, they had one bottle on the shelf and now it's in my cellar!
As soon as I walked in a was greeted without pretense and both guys were extremely helpful! Had a mini conversation about Shelton bros and kept shopping! Picked up some JP stuff and a couple singles from Natty Greene and Mother Earth both of which I'm stoked to try! Also got a six pack of Sweet Water Happy Ending which I've had but not in the 12 oz format.
It appears that I lucked out too cause they had just gotten their allocation of KBS and while not on the shelf one of the guys asked if I'd be interested in a bottle! I was :)
Great little shop and highly recommended if you're out that way and looking for great beer!
Cheers!!
