The famous Betty’s Country Store 18 Yonah St, Helen, Georgia 30545
Betty’s Country Store is famous in North Georgia for fine, premium groceries, nice produce, a wine selection, a wide range of sweets, coffees teas, and other grocery and market staples. Off to the side of the entrance is a little outside bar with an outstanding variety and range of foreign and premium beers and also a fine selection of wines! The square bar can seat 15 -18 approximately there at the bar and there are standing room areas behind and some tables to the side so you can bring a date or a party for a few rounds. They have 2 TVs, and I wager they would turn them to any game you request. They also serve sandwiches at the bar where you get to use a checklist to create your own, and while we have not tried them yet, they do look delicious and we love the build-your-own custom sandwich option.
Back to the beers, they have a large selection of European beers. I have tried many of the German lagers, and the Schlenkerla Smoked Lager was one of my favorites as it had an in-your-face smokiness, unlike anything I was used to, and it was a lot easier to drink than you’d initially think with the smokiness. I think the trick at Betty’s is to try a different beer with each round because they have so many fine foreign beers that you do not find anywhere else in North Georgia!
