I wouldn't buy anything on that list, so to me just about any list is better than that. Not much variety there either.

 

Yes, this is what I was going to say. They always have great tap lists. I was at the last HF takeover, great to get those brews in a flight! DeCicco's!

 

not enough walez bro?

 

Dude no way in this backwards state.

You cant even get more then 72oz of beer from a brewery. Grocery stores don't even sell any kind of booze.

God I hate Rhode Island.

 

Nobody, I mean NOBODY is gonna top the draft lists at the DeCicco's stores.

 

If only Wegmans had taps in their stores... they have a fantastic craft beer section and a walk in cooler, but no taps.

 

That is so funny.
Where and when I grew up (PA), you could basically only buy beer by the case (24x12oz), so a minimum of 288 oz lol. There were some places where you could get a 6 pack, but the vast majority of beer was sold at "beer distributors" by the case.

 

Would you not buy anything on the list because you don't like bourbon/brandy/rum whatever aged beers? Or you do you think those aren't good ones?

For the record, i wouldn't buy a flight from that list because i'm not in the mood for whatever bbl aged beers right now. Been drinking a lot of pils and pales. I thought the list looked sweet though.

 

At our Whole Foods you have to stay at the bar for consumption and their tap handles are constantly changing.

 

Can make one look like a great husband/boyfriend. "Oh, I don't mind going to the grocery store! Just make me a list!"

 

Draft beer in the grocery store? I live in the wrong goddamn state...

 

My store has managed to withstand 2 weeks with a 1/2 barrel of KBS on tap, along with a Founders tap takeover.

 

This might blow your mind even more. One of the local grocery chains just finished building a new location, complete with a rooftop bar as well as a growler station.

 

Yeah I came here from California where the only rule seemed to be you coulnd't sell booze from 2am-6am. Now I live in this backward ass state.

That's not even mentioning the terrible distro we get here as well!

 

No hun. You've had a very busy week. I'll take care of the shopping. Be back in about 3 - 4 hours.

 

The Lowes Foods by me when I lived in NC usually had some good offerings, though nothing like OP. Sexual Chocolate and KBS that lasted for 2+ weeks being the highlights from the time I spent there.

 

DeCicco's Armonk grocery store pub. Overlooks the store from a balcony.

DeCicco's Brewster (the one I visit)

 

WTF? Are they in some form or fashion supplemented by Westchester County taxes? Simply amazing.

 

Had my first - and only - Hill Farmstead beer at the DeCicco's Armonk bar. Sure beats driving to Vermont.
