Beer Run
Posted by melissamccart on April 20, 2008
Though the beer list doesn’t come close to those at Rustico or Brasserie Beck, Beer Run is a laid-back speciality shop in Charlottesville– the type I wish we’d get more of here. Both a store and a bar (read: Cheesetique), Beer Run stocks 250 beers, a nice little wine selection, and some nibbles that range from fancy chips and locally made cheese and sausages. And I’m partial to the name because I like the song in spite of myself.
But it’s the inexpensive, casual breakfast and lunch menus that hit the spot and seems to bring in all types: hippies, beer dorks, college kids, families, old men in suits, and people like me, just travelling through. Open daily at 7am, scramble tacos are under five bucks– not to mention, no one frowns if you decide on a morning Guinness, though coffee standards are available. And I so wish for a fun sandwich place for lunch, where it’s as easy to get hot dogs on pretzel bread or a gouda, apples, spinach, and balsamic sandwich with a Bell’s Oberon.
And as for service? They also deliver.
