    I can honestly say that Ale Yeah! was the reason I truly began to love beer.  With the ability to sample beers until you truly find one you love, that's the advantage.  I have yet to get a growler from here, but that's coming soon.

    A great down home local shop ran by good people.  

    P.S.  They also keep some of these beers cold, and if your really nice...   They might put some in the fridge before you come there and pick it up.

    I deleted all my old reviews because Hell, even I was confused.

    Ale Yeah is not the superstore of beer. If you come here looking to buy four dozen different six packs, you may be limited. And that's their allure here. This place is all about specializing in high quality, limited run, special interest beer. You won't find PBR or High Life here like you will at Hop City, and you won't find people at the register who know as much about beer as they do brain surgery, Ale Yeah is catered to the craft beer lover and their emphasis on it is apparent the minute you walk in. Well organized shelving, everything labeled, with lots of room to move around without feeling crowded in (Hop City). Employees who are friendly, eager to assist, and love to just shoot the shit about beer, whether you're a beginner or an expert, what you say matters here. Good selection of all the beers you want with prices fair to the area, you may see a small bit more on some but they're not buying the bulk that Green's is, nor are they moving a case an hour like Tower. As convenient as the location is I can't see anyone complaining about price, and if they do then they're not a true beer lover and can go to Kroger for their fix. Their mix your own six shelf is always full and ever changing, and you can freely pick from stuff not on the shelf to take home and try. Few places even do that, to have such an offering is a huge plus.
    Brewing supplies, glasses, shirts, and even meats/cheeses that look awesome, they have a variety for shoppers coming in. And growlers. Yes, the trend for fresh beer has exploded and they've joined in, but for the price, ease, and lack of hassle can you blame them? Buy a 32oz or 64oz beer right off the tap, it's priced well within the range you'd pay at a bar and is that much quicker to get. Parking is tight on a busy night, but there's no limit to how much beer you can indulge in here. Do it. Right now. Don't wait.

    Do I like this place? Ale Yeah I do!

    I live in the Oakhurst area and though the Publix does a decent job of carrying decent beer, it's all the way across town and they don't have a staff specifically knowledgeable about the beer they carry. Ale Yeah, on the other hand, has a great staff who are friendly and willing to be helpful or just give you a chance to roam around for half an hour in awe of the vast amount of beer.

    I love the mixed six pack availability, it gives you a chance to try all sorts of things so you can come back and get what you really love, and the growlers are great! (hellooooo Groupon in my pocket!) I hope they're around for a while, because I'm more than happy to go waste my money at this place!

    Needing to stay in but really wanting a quality craft beer to snuggle with, I found myself steering towards Ale Yeah!.  They have a great variety of beer both in style and brewers and they also carry my liquid lover - the Crispin Artisanal Line!  It's a little more costly than Tower, but I'm not here to buy cider.  I came for the Growler action.

    As a growler virgin, I needed some direction and advice and they were happy to provide.  I chose to go with the small growler, 32 oz, and am glad that I did.  It only cost $4.99 for the jug and $4.99 for the Belgian IPA they had on draught.  Delicious beer but stronger than I anticipated so I wasn't able to get through as much as I would have liked but with a growler, you can reseal it! and savor more sudsy action later!

    What a great deal!  32 ounces of a delicious IPA for only $4.99?  And I get to take it home with me?  This place is unbelievable.  Only downside is that they only have one keg of each beer to fill the growlers so when it's gone, you're sad - like I was because I really wanted the Mugshot IPA.  Things turned out OK for me but I don't want anyone to miss out.  So when you see your favorite sudsy drink on their growler menu - Do.NOT.Hesitate.RUN. But don't forget to bring your growler!

    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. :)

    Ain't no Party like a Ale Yeah Party cause the Ale Yeah Party don't stop. Well, it kinda more like potential energy. You can't actually taste the stuff on tap for the growlers because they can't have a pouring license. Ergo, you can get all the delish fireworks but you can't light them in the store.

    Capice?

    So, what I'm really saying is you can go here and find those taste bud smacking liquids but you have to wait til you get home. So it's really like any other beer store.......NO You're wrong! Packed inside this great little shop is the most concentrated beer selection in the Southeast. It's a wonderland of hoppy, yeasty, malty goodness that will have the Lupulus species bonding through your head where visions of Santa Claus once were.

    In all seriousness, grab a growler of anything on the tap wall that seemingly emerges from the hand of God, a six pack you've yet to try and a Trappist, I suggest Orval or Achel to start, and let your adventure begin.

    The staff is helpful and really nice.
    The place gets busy so plan to take your time on a weekend night, but that is the fun part at this craft beer market. Still quicker than going to a grocery store for a beer run!

    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.

    I LOVE this place.  There is a growler store much much closer to me, but I am a huge fan of Ale Yeah.  First of all, their selection of bottled beer is nearly mind-blowing.  As far as I can tell, they have any beer that a beer lover should ask for.  They also just increased their taps from 8 to 12, so now there are even more growler options for me!  The thing that really pushes Ale Yeah into 5 star territory is their customer service.  I've been here quite a few times now, and each time, their service has been amazing.  

    My first visit was specifically for some growlers to share with my friends, but they weren't busy so I thought I'd try and get some advice on beer for me, as well.  I have always liked beer, but have never known which beers I'd have a good chance of liking, and most of my friends could never nail down my preferences, either.  It was time to stop being all on my own.  I told the adorable beer man what sorts of beers I liked and he pointed me to the wall for me.  He spent quite a bit of time pointing out several brands that I should try at some point as well as letting me know which ones were good values for the buck.  Let me tell you - he was right!  I've never loved beer more than I have recently, now that I know which beer styles I will almost certainly love.  

    The next visit that sticks in my head was the week of Thanksgiving.  I went after work and the store was positively packed!  I was going to grab some cider as a gift for a friend who was hosting me for Thanksgiving.  I knew what she liked and had called the day prior to get some held since they only had one pack left.  After I arrived, that pack was promptly in my hands, but I had more questions.  I wanted something else to give her that she might also like (based on her other preference) as well as a few things for me.  In spite of a very full store, the man who was assisting me did so knowledgeably and without any sign of agitation.  I was treated as if the store only had a few customers in it vs the 20 or 30 that were there at the time, and that kind of service really is priceless.  

    All in all, Ale Yeah has earned a very satisfied customer in me, and I am happy to support such a helpful, wonderful small business.

    I love that there's a great craft brew store that's smaller, and focused on just craft brews. And although they were sold out of both beers I was looking for, both times, that speaks to how popular it is, and how successful the beer was, as well as makes me think I've got good taste. (I was looking for Doghead's Bitches Brew and Terrapin's Moo-Hoo.)

    The store has a great selection, well organized, as well as a large selection of home brewing information and supplies. And they have some great hidden gems in beer. Each trip there reveals something new.

    Great selection of craft beers.  Layout is great with different shelves depending on the type of beer: stout vs. lager vs wheat, etc.  They also have a shelf with new beers so that you can try something new every time.  There is also a "build your own 6 pack" option where you can pick 6 different bottles of your liking.

    In the back of the store is a section for beer brewers - a wide selection of brewing equipment - hops, grains, malt, thermometers, siphons, bottle brushes, etc.  They even sell a kit so you can get started making beer yourself.....a great gift for someone who loves beer!

    Some food is also sold here...if I recall they had some smoked meats and cheeses.  They also sell beer mugs/glasses with beer company logos on them.

    Prices may be a little higher, but sort of expected for a craft beer store.

    The staff are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable.  Definitely make me want to go back.  For me, the location is perfect too with plenty of parking.

    Something for improvement: a lot of bottles did not have prices.  I didn't want to have to ask prices on multiple items and then try not to act surprised if the cashier said it was $20 a bottle.  Label the bottles or shelves please.

    All in all, a great addition to Decatur/Oakhurst!

    Nothing makes me happier than having a place to buy beer in walking distance from my house. On top of that, they sell lots of delicious sauage, cheese and accoutrements related to the consumption of beer and other complimentary products.

    There's always something new to try and they are active on Facebook about new additions, which is awesome. They have beers in sections divided by the families they belong in. THERE IS A WHOLE SHELF OF FLANDERS RED ZOMG I am so happy about this. They also carry tons of ciders and lambics.

    The guys have been friendly and knowledgable with me, and I hope to be back again soon. :)

    The first thing that came to mind when i learned that Ale Yeah was opening just two miles from my crib!?

    No more driving out to Greens and parking at Murder Kroger just to get my Belgian beer fix!

    With such beer-centric places like Brickstore and Leon's killing it in Decatur it was a much needed or at least highly desired addition to our community (Although if you've ever gone beer shopping with me you know i can get sucked into a decision vortex so my wife has a different opinion on the matter).

    What i really liked about Ale Yeah is the overall selection.  Most beer snob joints tend to go overboard with the Belgians, which is like picking the finest apple at the supermarket amongst a sea of fine apples. The style of beer and country of origin was well allocated amid the Canadian (love me some Unibroue), German, and Belgian breweries, with regional and locals well represented as well - even our own Jailhouse Brewery in Hampton, GA, which only opened a short time ago.

    If you're a home brewer these guys seem to have many if not most of the supplies you'll need.  If you're looking to start from scratch, they've got kits on hand.  Need a gift idea?  They have some great gift baskets that include cheeses, beers, and nicely designed "ALE YEAH" t-shirts.

    After about 30 minutes of browsing and price-comparing to Greens and Edgewood Kroger prices, here's what i left with: Bokrijks Belgian (delicious), a Yeast Hoist (still chilling), a Lindemans Lambic (for the missus), and a Delirium Nocturnum complete with awesome Pink Elephant glass that i always threaten to steal from McGowan's Pub in Oakhurst.  Various glasses are available for $5.  We escaped for about $40, which i felt was fair, after considering i saved gas money and spared myself possible bullet wounds.

    So when you visit this great new beer place, follow my motto:  When you're having trouble choosing between two beers, the answer is most certainly...both.

    I love coming here when I am looking for something a little different and delicious. It is right around the corner and filled a need on this side of town. The staff is cool and helpful.

    Ale yeah carries a large selection of craft brews spanning the entire spectrum of taste and styles. They carry almost all the local favorites as well as some harder to find breweries. The Belgian section is pretty good too.

    I know they carry some other local dry goods, however I haven't tried them. I tend to have tunnel vision when it comes to purchasing a healthy brew. Their price points might range higher or lower on specific products but they are competitive with everyone else in the city.

    Probably the best part of Ale Yeah is the staff. They have been nothing but friendly and helpful when I go in there. At the same time they are not pushy at all. They will listen to you drone on about how much you think you know about beer and offer suggestions if you seem open to it. When it comes to bottle shoppes this is one of the ATL bees knees!

    This is hands down the best bottle shop in Atlanta.  It is smaller than Hop City, but the selections are smart and diverse.

    I like the layout of the store and the management is very knowledgeable.  I particularly like the build-your-own six pack idea.  This really allows us to enjoy the tasting process that brings us to a craft beer store in the first place.

    Also, the monk murals on the rear wall are kind of the shit.  If you like good beer, go ahead and add this to your list of regular spots.

    Having been here 4 times in their first 3 weeks of opening should indicate the quality of the store, or my laziness as it was just down the street from where I was staying.

    Ale Yeah sports a great collection of craft beers, from Southern Tier to Rogue to Hitachino. They sort the beers by type, and though it may be smaller as compared to Hop City, it's a decent size and they have a great selection. Their prices are comparable to other places, and the friendly staff makes shopping here very enjoyable.

    I certainly miss stores like Ale Yeah once I have moved away because their aren't as many craft brew stores in other states. I wonder if they do delivery?

    Before I visited Ale Yeah!, City Beer in San Francisco was my favorite beer store.  Sorry, City Beer: Ale Yeah! is my new favorite beer store.  What a great selection of craft beers - and everything was organized so nicely.  Friendly owner - we talked about how Bell's isn't available in San Francisco, but Russian River isn't available in Atlanta.

    Prices are good here.

    This place is spanking brand new, but recently, I was amazed by the amount of customers here.

    I welcome the age of the bottle store in Decatur. This is the first one, and I applaud the effort.

    They have a good variety of beer, and they have just about everything that the Georgia market offers.

    What most people don't realize is that, we can't get every beer that's available in every market. Every few months or so, the Atlanta market has added one or two breweries to it's local distribution that is a result of our old outdated beer/wine alcohol laws that changed several years ago.

    Just because laws have changed, doesn't mean that we can all of a sudden get every brewery that exists in this great nation of beer. Slowly though, distributors and breweries have stuck deals to start offering their products in the state of Georgia.

    This place has alot of good beers, but there are alot of beers that I would like to see them start to carry. In my opinion, if you are still focusing on Belgians, you've really overlooked what the U.S. breweries are bringing to the table. I like Belgian beer, but American craft beers are exploding right now and that's where I like to spend my money.  This place doesn't have a big focus on Belgians, which is great.

    Granted, this place is a baby, and it's going to take time to figure out what beers are going to sell and which aren't. Let's hope they figure this out quickly, because it's just going to benefit us all. The mix and match six packs are a must for any shop like this, and they are at least offering this option.

    As far as the cold beers versus room temperature ones, that really isn't what this place is about. It's not a liquor store or a convenience store, so not having everything cold isn't really an issue to me. If you don't have time to refrigerate your beer, maybe this isn't the best place to go, but I can see improvement on that front sooner than later. Again, I can wait to bring my beer home and let it chill properly. This isn't a tailgating spot for beer on the go.

    Great effort and if Ale Yeah listens to it's customers, this place will be just fine. Good knowledge and big balls for the first bottle shop in what is clearly the beer capitol of Georgia. Chalk another great local business up to the Decatur neighborhood.

    Prices are decent, but with some local liquor stores in Decatur offering similar options, if not better for beer, it's time to step up and make this place a destination for beer connoisseur's.  Would love to see unique offerings and a "what's new and hot" type of section.

    A solid selection of craft beers and nibbles. They have a ton of cheese and other beer accompaniments that can definitely make you look like you know your stuff if you have a dinner party.

    Some of the stuff is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, its all great beer and just what Decatur needed.

    They are just getting started out but everyone there is real helpful and I'm sure they will be a goto for great beer for many years to come.

    It's great to have a craft beer store in Decatur. I met Eddie, the owner, and he was super friendly and helpful. They have a good selection, not as good as Hop City, but the space is smaller. It's definitely the best selection on this side of town.

    4 stars rather than 5 both for the smaller selection and somewhat high prices. I know I have to pay more for the quality, but a six pack and six individual bottles ran me $70.

    Also I noticed it was difficult to find prices on some of the bottles. Some were marked with stickers on the bottles, but others not at all. Would love to see prices on the shelves, or clearly marked on the bottles.

    Looking forward to a re-visit when they're a little more set up. I saw promises of cheese and other goodies on the website, but the store was a little barren.

    Cheers and best of luck to Ale Yeah!

    This is an excellent value when it comes to craft beers and brewing accessories. I highly recommend anyone that enjoys quality brew to stop by and check them out.

    I'm not an avid  beer drinker but, when I choose drink beer I want to spend my money on quality. I also enjoy novelty in my beer selection. Ale Yeah! offers the opportunity to spend my dollars locally and with the guidance of some real knowledgeable people.

    I've anticipated the opening of this store for the past few weeks. As I was passing by a few weeks ago and stopped in before lunch. I sampled one of their dry sausages with a lovely Asher sweet grass blue cheese and a Terrapin Moo-hoo. It made for a lovely midmorning snack. Eddie, the proprietor, help guide my selection and offered selections of other brews I should consider on my next visit.

    The design is stylish without being pretentious. I also found the selection superb without being intimidating. The conversation (when its not too busy to have one) is helpful and interesting. Overall, I wish all of my retail experiences could be this thoughtful and pleasant.

    It is great to see a store of this caliber open up in Atlanta. Craft beer is growing and growing. I had already heard of this place way before it opened. I have been following on twitter and their website. When you walk into the store you are immediately greeted with a wonderful sight of beer sorted by types. They have an excellent selection. You will not find a "bud light" anywhere near this store.
    I am a huge Hop head so I headed straight to the IPA shelves. I was greeted and was given suggestions that I might not have tried before. I am now a big Southern Tier fan. The place is clean, friendly and just cool.

    I cried the first time I went here- seriously.  I adore craft brew stores, and this one has not only a great selection, but great staff.  Prices are decent as well, and the organization of the beers is very helpful.  The best part is the section for beer brewers which holds a wide variety of equipment, as well as the $5 craft beer cups you can purchase.

    I finally stopped by yesterday. I am very disappointed. There is a decent selection of beer here, some I rarely see elsewhere in Atlanta. However, the prices seem to be a couple bucks a six pack higher than the other places I shop. The thing that really disappoints is the beer storage. Looks like less than 20 percent of the beer is in coolers. The rest is on shelves with halogen spotlights lighting it up. Heat and light are not good for beer quality. If the beer sits around under these conditions for a while it will deteriorate. Maybe they are moving beer fast enough that it is not a concern. I had high hopes, let me know if the storage conditions change.

    I was excited to see Ale Yeah! open and was even more pleased when I went to shop there.  I had gone to eat at Leon's that same day and went into Ale Yeah to find the beer I had ordered at lunch. Since I had only remembered the brewery but had forgotten the name of the beer, I described the tasting notes to one of the employees. He named the beer and escorted me to the product on the shelf.  $7 for a high-end 750ml bottle? Awesome.  We splurged and also bought some of the high-end chocolate from the local chocolatier, Cacao, as well  (I am also a fan of theirs.)  

    All and all, I had a great experience.  The shelves are very well-organized, the shop is well-lit, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

    Decent selection but hardly anything in the cooler. Nearly all the beer is on room temperature shelves, hopefully they can turn over stock quickly before it spoils. The store has a boutique feel to it, which frankly isn't what I'm looking for in a beer store but people seemed to love it. The store was quite busy on a Saturday afternoon with a lot of folks lined up waiting to purchase beer that was a couple of dollars more per six pack than at regular package stores.

    I'll be honest and say I mocked the name of the place when it was announced. I guess I didn't take it too seriously. Thankfully the thought of the name pretty much went out the window when I started going here regularly. Hop City definitely has the size advantage, but I believe Ale Yeah is worth the trip and definitely a worthy addition for the folks like myself who live in the area. In addition to the beer selection, I love the fact that I can customize my six-pack from practically any single-serving sized bottle in the store, and am not limited to a certain section of the store as some outlets do. It's already saved me from getting a six-pack of something I didn't particularly like, and like most craft beer enthusiasts, I like to try new things. They also carry chocolates from Cacao, Sweet Grass Dairy cheese & Gemini Jams, in addition to home brewing supplies.

    This place is great. In addition to hundreds of beers I have never seen and wanna try, they had some nice cheeses and a Jalapeno jam that rocked my face off. The guy that worked there was knew his stuff and made the beer shopping fun. I'm not a beer expert, so it was nice to have some help. I got some Japanese beer with an Owl on the label. It was pricey, but so worth it.

    I'm a huge craft beer fan and was very excited to have Ale Yeah! open near my home.  Many aspects of the store are very appealing -- the signage and graphics, the organization of the beers, the helpful and welcoming staff -- yet I'm left wanting something.  Honestly, I was expecting more -- more variety, more cold selection, more stock.  Still, I like the location and frequent it regularly.

    Loved the organization of this place- easy to find exactly what I'm looking for. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable and was quick to help and offer suggestions. Carries awesome brews that are hard to find. Great spot!

    Decatur has been needing a place like this.  Great selection of beers and home brewing supplies.  I hope that they add more refrigerators as most of the beer is room temperature, but all in all a great place with friendly owners.

    If you have an affection for craft beer, a visit to this store needs to be added to your to-do list ASAP.  My favorite thing about Ale Yeah (besides its witty name) is the option to buy singles of the beer you want to try.  They also have tasty foods to pair with the beer, which is a nice touch.  And if you're into brewing your own, they can set you up with those supplies.  We tried a pint of Brooklyn Local 2, brewed with honey and citrus peel (YUMM), a pint of Widmer Brothers Reserve Prickly Pear, and Left Hand Brewing Co's oak-aged Widdershins.  Eddie and Cisco can set you up with recommendations if you feel overwhelmed by all of the choices.  Decatur is the perfect neighborhood for this kind of store, but I hope they expand to other parts of town in the future.

    Great place! Love the selection of craft beers and the people working know their product. through the home brew products, cheese an chocolate and you have a little piece of heaven! The prices are in line with these type of beers found elsewhere. I don't think "the lighting" in the other review  is a factor with the amount of product turnover I've witnessed while there.
