Ale Yeah Beer

We stopped by on our last trip to Decatur to check out if there were any beers available that we haven’t seen or gotten in Macon. We had our dog with us so we called ahead to see if they were dog friendly, which they are. Upon entering the store the attendant greeted us and asked if we had any questions. I got his opinion on beer that we had never had before and he was beyond helpful. I like the easy set up they have in the store with each type of beer (stout, sour, IPA, etc.) having its own labeled area. They had an awesome selection of cans and bottles and do allow for you to do the «mix and match» style 6-​packs. They had free pretzel samples as well as big ones you could buy as well as a few other food items. They have Ale Yeah «swag» that can be bought in house. They also have select beers in refrigeration in case you don’t want to have to wait to enjoy your beer once you get home. They also have 10 or so kegs that you can fill a growler with which we did as well. The only thing keeping Ale Yeah from having 5 stars in the fact that you have to pay for samples if you’re trying to fill a growler.

Awesome place. Great selection of beer with food pairings. Tap in the back for growlers is a really cool touch. Guy is very knowledgeable and super friendly. So is the store kitty! I’d recommend going here for trying a new beer/​a hard to find favorite.

Came in from out of town on a recommendation. Great selection of beer, but you can find that most places. The staff here really set it apart. Just good, personable people. When I’m back in town, I’ll visit again for sure.

Great craft selection and they always special order me what they can if it’s available for them.

Excellent selection, wonderful people. Eddie and the gang knock it out of the park with what they have to offer. I love coming here for gifts at Christmas and for birthdays.

I’ve gone back tons of times since my last review of this spot in 2011, and it’s consistently one of the best craft beer stores in the area, and my favorite in Atlanta. Staff is always knowledgeable, and their selection is hard to beat. They’re never pretentious, and they are always happy to make recommendations. This place is as good as it gets.

Recently moved to Decatur and love having Ale Yeah within walking distance. Have only been in a couple of times so far to fill my growler but the staff is cool and they seem to have a great selection (updated often). I’ll be back!

Relatively small compared to the availability at Hop City/Green’s, but carries many of the really good ones. Super friendly staff too. Loved the fact that they had a single beer section as well. This place is quite out of the way for us, but if we go to revolution donuts again, we will surely visit here again. There is parking right out side, but it’s shared with other stores nearby.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about this place on the Beer Advocate forums and I finally got a chance to check this place out in person this weekend. I was not disappointed. Excellent selection and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They have a huge selection of beers and it’s arranged by style which makes finding what you’re looking for very easy. They also have a good glassware selection as well as some great gift ideas (besides beer). I highly recommend place to any craft beer fan.

My go to growler spot. They offer up some beers not on offer at other places. The service here is also a cut above. Everyone knows their stuff and can offer great recommendations so you don’t get stuck with a beer that isn’t to your liking. A couple of bucks more than other beer destinations but well worth the extra for the insights, service, and well curated offerings.

These guys are just enough out of the way to have a good stock and not run out immediately, while still remaining convenient for folks in Kirkwood and Decatur. I’ve found several small batch or unique beers that sold out elsewhere before I could get to the store, or never even arrived.

I visit Decatur each fall and make a point to stop in here to pick up beer to drink while we’re there and to bring back to Florida.
The place makes great use of the small space. I really like the organization of the beers. It’s easy to find new beers in my preferred styles.
The staff are excellent. We were rushing to get there before they closed and just made it. They stayed and helped us well beyond their normal closing time. They really seemed to care that we got everything we wanted. They truly seemed to enjoy helping us. Top notch customer service.
Thank you.

I’m several years late on this review. After all, I do live within walking distance of this spot, and have been here (and taken others here) more times than I can remember.
The place is not too big to be overwhelmingly full of different beers (as sometimes other places can be) — but not too small to be short on any type of beer you may be looking to try. Even the organization of the beers by type is also a plus.
Sure, they don’t have as many taps as the Beer Growler down the street in Avondale… but I still love this place.

These guys are the absolute best. They have an amazing variety of beer. It’s also extremely well organized.
I’ve never walked into here and not been offered help immediately. The employees are extremely knowledgeable and ready to help!
I also love that ALL of their beers are pick and choose six pack. That’s right, every single one. Want to try 6 different IPAs? That’s totally allowed. It’s fabulous. It’s where I go when I only want to buy 6 beers, but I need some variety in my life.
There isn’t much else to say about a beer store. Good stock, solid organization, great staff, decent location. All in all, top notch. I do wish they had a bike rack, but that isn’t really a big thing.

I love this place! We’re lucky to have access to a lot of really good growler shops in Atlanta. Enough so that one might become a little jaded. But I’ve found several things at Ale Yeah that other stores don’t have in stock. During my visits, staff has always been friendly and helpful.

There was a day when I was wondering where I would find a killer assortment of canned and bottled beer — both local and regional and from elsewhere. Oh, hey. Ale Yeah is right down the road? Ya don’t say!
We finally had a chance to visit after a few recommendations from friends in NC. Being less than two miles from home, it’s a sure shot for all of my canned beer love and affection.
Love the layout. Beers split into variety, full six-​packs, individuals, some in coolers, cans in the middle. I was more than obliged to pick up a sixer of Red Hare IPA in cans.
They even have an assortment of charcuterie and cheeses.
Had a chance to chat with the owner, too. Bottle shops are such a killer installment in my life as it brings so much variety to drinking at home. Where I love draught beers, canned beers are still top of my list.
Ale Yeah, you have a distinct place in my heart. Cheers.

Nuts and Bolts: We were having breakfast at Revolution Doughnuts. When we arrived, I remembered that I was looking up a non-​mainstream drink online and that Ale Yeah carried it. So after breakfast, we headed over.
Pros: It was super easy to find my desired drink. My boyfriend asked the staff (possibly the owner or manager) for something that was similar to Sweetwater 420. He was able to suggest something with ease. And my boyfriend ended up really liking the drink. The place is small and personal, which is very nice. And there was no pressure to sign up for the mailing list. And they have Belly!
Neutral: It is not your typical large package store. So may not be able to find everything you may want. But likely have some good alternatives. And, for me, they have my Koppaberg– so I am all good.
Takehome message: Great if you need a specialty item.

They have a really great selection of speciality and craft beers. They price them well, and are always super friendly and knowledgable.

Awesome growler place where you can buy a bottle and refill it as often as you want with high-​quality craft beers on tap. The catch is that you have to drink most of the beers within a couple days of opening the bottle! So be prepared for that!
The store is cute and small and stocked full of interesting, delicious, gourmet (expensive!!) beer products. So if you’ve got the champagne budget to go along with your champagne taste (or in this case fancy beer) knock yourself out! Personally, I like cheap beer sometimes, but I go to Ale Yeah every so often for a special tasty treat. :)

I love coming here. A good selection of craft beers at decent prices.
The growlers here are the best deal, especially the 32oz if you’re just looking to try something new without a big commitment.
They also carry Spotted Trotter meats in case you’re interested in salumi.
