    If I won this hypothetical shopping spree I would first go for something I do not have access to and then build my cellar with the trip.

    1. The store with the biggest inventory of Loons.

    2. Head to where the Loons are and fill up.

    3. 375ml, 750ml.

    4. Good question. Maybe Frank and Pasta. Pasta can push people out of the way while yelling "make room for the Mayor". Frank will be sure to help fill the cart neatly, he will not let a Loon break.

    5. I would pick up Loons and leave everything else.

    All my beers would break, explode and/or rapture with my luck!

    1) Probably Julious in Westborough, MA. Aisles there are wide enough you could maneuver a bit more.
    2) Head straight for the most expensive stuff
    3) All formats. I'd get whatever I've been too cheap to buy before
    4) Depends on how much of the share they get. My brother probably because he is too busy to drink much these days
    5) Leave behind cheap regulars that I always buy.

    Just make sure to pick up darkness, Mephistopheles, samael, zombie dust, Duvel, and any other dark or Satan themed beers (and make sure to avoid the Trappists) that way if your beer does rapture it will be left behind :wink:

    Can you fit a shopping cart inside City Beer Store? It would have to be on a slow day. Like Monday. (I know they're closed, btw).
    I'd start behind the countertop and raid all the exclusives. Maybe take a pony keg too. XicanoBeerRun would have to join me on this one. Probably skip anything I could easily find at BevMos or by style.

    1. Ebenezer's Pub

    2. Go to cellar, ransack shamelessly

    3. 750's, 375's, casks

    4. Andy(beer/brewing buddy), cause he knows what to do

    5. Leave anything younger than 10 years, take all of the incredibly rare Belgians

    Nugget Nectar release day, as much as I can get. And, maybe some Sixpoint Resin, because I have been digging that as of late but it's expensive. This is all assuming we are assuming Heady Topper and Double Sunshine are not part of the plan.

    I'd go ahead and go to Total Wine in Tampa, and put whatever I want in my cart. Id hit up the main bomber section, pick up whatever I wanted, pass the seasonals and imports and grab from there, then hit the main-line six-pack section and grab whatever I want there. Pretty simple, really. 10 minutes would be more than enough time. I stock shelves at my job, damn right I can empty them fast as hell.
