I’m warning you. It’s like no other supermarket beer section you’ve ever seen. And… 16 tap lines upstairs, pouring fresh, amazing beer. Dangerous grocery store!!!!
On my las work trip (2020) to Austin, I didn’t feel like restaurant food so stopped at the Whole Foods near my hotel. Stumbled upon this in the middle of the store. Sadly I haven’t been back because I’d go there regularly.

Since you are a cider guy have you tried this? It’s delicious and, for a twist, add a bot of smoky mezcal and it’s amazing.

No, I’ve never seen it before, but will definitely grab it if I see it. I love that combo.

When we were in Burlington in February we went to Citizen, which now makes a special “Pine St. Cellar Series” sold only on the premises. I brought home several four-packs of their Habanero cider, which is now sadly all gone. Wish I had thought to add some mezcal to it!

Looks similar to the bar in the Whole Foods in suburban Charleston, SC. I have to be in Austin end of July for a client. Five days in town. Aside from visiting Jester King, I think I know where I’m going to do some “food shopping”.

This is the one at The Domain Northside. Hops & Grain was the best IPA brewery I tried in Austin but it closed during the pandemic. Sours, stouts and pale layers seem to dominate down there.

Speaking of Austin beer, do you guys remember Pierre Celis, the famed Belgian brewer who popularized the “wit” style and then started Celis brewery in Austin and was cranking out some great, unique “White” beers back in the day?

I wondered what became of him and just googled to see that the brewery floundered after being purchased by Miller in 1995 and was shuttered in 2000. It was a shorter run than I remembered before they were purchased by Miller, but we were crazy about his beers for a time.

Then Pierre died in 2011 and his daughter resurrected it in 2017, with the original yeast strain, and then declared bankruptcy in 2019 for being over-leveraged, but remains open.

I would be curious to taste it again.

Wow. That’s a blast from the past. I used to love Celis White back in the ‘90s. Always with an orange slice on the rim. Completely forgot the Austin origin.

The WF 5 mins from my house has about half as many taps, but they still haven't reopened the cafe. Been over 2 years now.

You knew someone was going to make a mint popularizing that style; turns out it was Blue Moon, which also ended up with Miller via Coors.

I was first introduced to Wit in the Munich airport on a layover. It was early morning. And there were some folks at one of the bars drinking this cloudy thing with a lemon in it. I asked the bartender what it was. He said, "Breakfast beer."

I loved the Paulaner Wiesse beer.

And the best of them made in this country is still Allagash White. When all I have are macro taps, Blue Moon is often the best option. It’s funny wheat beers aren’t more popular. When I was in law school, we drank loads of Boulevard Wheat, which was their top selling beer. Kind of a gateway to craft beer I suppose.

This guy appears at a local package store once every two or three Septembers and I buy them out when I see them A one liter can and an Oktoberfest (dimpled) mug that holds the full liter. Wash, rinse and freeze the mug, put the can in the fridge and it comes out perfect.

One aside: a coworker close to my age once joked about how as a teenager he and his buddies would buy 40 ouncers (malt liquor). I told him "this is the closest I ever came to drinking a 40 oz".

Mid-afternoon liquid lunch. With a few wings.

Berkshire Brewing Coffeehouse Porter for me.
East Hartford Brewing Ten Penny Ale for the old man. Both were perfectly met. Nothing offensive, nothing outstanding. Given a choice in the future I'd take the Tenny Penny Ale.

I take it you meant perfectly "meh," which is what I would expect.

But every beer with the old man is priceless.

I believe the new trendy word the kids use is "mid". Every beer I've had from Berkshire Brewing has been "mid". Maybe you aren't supposed to use quotes. I'm new at this.

Lol. Damn autocorrect for the win again.

Yes, "meh". Screw them young kids and their "mid". They already robbed me of the pound sign and turned it in to hashtag.

I don't know if this sounds terrible or wonderful. "We took a fresh batch of our new American IPA, Inhopnito, and added in 20lbs of fresh Jalapeños and pineapple purée. It’s a refreshing brew with a bite, medium body and bitterness, yet high in aroma and flavor. ABV 6.2%" But since it's Berkshire, meh is more likely.

I’d be curious to try it, but it would take a monumental leap of faith for me to buy a 4pk. I’d be more confident of those adjuncts in a sour IPA or a kettle sour than in a traditional IPA.
