The Charleston Beer Exchange seems overkill and the Piggly Wiggly seems like it doesn't have enough...

Am I missing something? Which stores/locales have the best selection of local beers? I'm thinking bottle and growler for take-home...

Sunoco has growler take homes. Not sure about "best" but we were impresses considering it is a gas station.

West Ashley has Total Wine and Mt. Pleasant has Bottles. Both carry local beers and I know Total Wine does growlers. I believe Bottles sells growlers as well.

I thought the guys at the Beer Exchange were a little snooty. I'll still go there but I'm not going out of my way anymore. Someone told me that the Pig on James Island has a lot. I haven't been. Bottles has a huge selection and does indeed have a growler exchange program. They usually have one or two local beers in the rotation. I just took home a 64oz of the Weihenstephener Korbinian (not local) and it was outstanding. Whole Foods always has local beers on tap, and you get $2 off a growler when you buy a pizza. Their pizza is really good and not too pricey. It's like $14.99 for an 18 inch with up to I think 2 or 3 toppings. Also, most any decent bar like Coleman Public House will have a nice variety and they let you sample before you buy.

I have never met a beer store guy that wasn't snooty. I'd like to hope for meeting one that isn't one of these days that isn't pompous about beer like they aren't a glorified alcoholic.

They have a nice selection, though.

I've been to the Piggly Wiggly on James and it's a decent selection as well.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but you can check out Homegrown Brewhouse on Main Street in Summerville. A buddy of mine opened up this brewhouse about a month ago. They've got 40 taps and only serve local beers. I know they've got growlers as well. Pretty soon, they will be brewing and serving their own beers.
