Oasis

Spartanburg is a difficult location to find craft beer at the retail level. There are really only 2 choices, The Oasis and the Hop Spot. I’ve been in The Oasis several times over the years and yesterday was my first visit in a good while. Robert has really stepped up his craft beer game and I told him so as we chatted for awhile. As others have mentioned, he will order for you and prices are reasonable. Their selection is very varied and greatly improved. I picked up German Rauchbier, Belgian Lambic, Stone and (yes) 2014 Bourbon County. If you haven’t ever been - then go. If it’s been awhile since you’ve been - go back, and you won’t be disappointed. They’re the best craft beer source in Spartanburg and, with our support, will continue to provide an ever improving selection of great craft beer.

Uh-oh. I happened to stop at Green’s in Columbia before coming here. Thank God I did. The selection in Green’s is vastly superior and cheaper than the Oasis in Spartanburg. The main problem, however, is most of the beer sitting on the shelf is absolutely ancient. Then had some Sam Adams longshot IIPA from two years ago. Everything was way, way out of date. Selection is fairly decent as far as what brands were rotting away on the shelf.
