Named after a song by Shelby Merchant, The Beer Tooth Taproom is a relative newcomer to South Durham on a mission to "convert everyday beer drinkers into well-informed enthusiastic beer consumers through education and sensory experiences." With 36 taps of rotating craft beverages, they have plenty of options to quench every adult's thirst.
I absolutely love Beer Tooth! The selection, atmosphere, and the staff are always amazing.
If you're ever unsure what you're in the mood for, the bartenders can help you figure that out too. Just ask and tell them what you normally like.
Love something on tap? You can also go home with a crowler of it!
Definitely check out run club on Mondays, craft club on Tuesdays, and trivia on Thursdays. They also run regular weekend events and fundraisers.

If you’re in the area and you like beer, you must go here. The knowledge of the beer-making process seems to be the core of Beer Tooth (which is pretty important for a good brew). I’ve learned so much and appreciated the process more than I thought I would. Friendly staff, chill vibe, and you’ll almost always meet a cute puppy.

Great staff and great tap selection. Be sure to also check out their fridge for some off-the-wall stuff. I sometimes drop in to "work-from-home" here with their wifi. Quieter than Bean Trader's and I won't tell your boss if you don't tell mine :D

If you are looking for craft beer and a fun night out, you would be hard pressed to find a better place in Durham than Beer Tooth Taproom. It is obvious the owners care about the quality of their beer and keep their lines clean, as well as make sure their taproom is as welcoming a place as can be.
As a bartender and beer purchaser, Christa is probably one of the most diligent and honest people I have ever met in how she thinks about beer and how she selects her offerings. Her palate is extremely discerning and she selects amazing quality beer, many which are local from around the region. Her pricing is exceedingly competitive and is a great value. Even the stock of beer and seltzers in the fridge is quality, with attention paid to the quality of Non-Alcoholic brews and beverages she has on hand as well. With that level of attention to detail, you can expect that your experience will meet your expectation.
Beer Tooth has many event nights as well, with a run club on Mondays, Craft club on Tuesdays, A Beer School on every first Wednesday, Trivia Thursdays, and many weekend events, so it feels like there is always something to look forward to, while still maintaining a comfortable and casual atmosphere. Plus it’s pet friendly for friendly pets, which is pretty great.
All in all, having been a consistent patron of this establishment for over a year, I cannot recommend Beer Tooth Taproom enough. There is a lot of fantastic craft brew options in south Durham, but if you haven’t tried this one yet, do yourself a favor. It truly is a hidden gem. You won’t regret it.
