I drove inland from Pensacola Beach to find something other than BL Coors Light Ultra Corona and other swill - and found Dogfish Head. My first taste of their product is their Indian Brown Ale. Normally not a fan of hoppy beer, but me likey.

I'm curious as to when the grocery and liquor stores in general will expand the beer selections for more craft beers. No offense wine-drinkers,but its seems we get rows upon rows of dusty wine bottles. maybe the answer lies in that dust, wine has a longer shelf life and makes your store look uppity. maybe its the distributers of beer still like to play games with the product availability-some genus is creating demand by limiting supply...

its just a $%#its a gol damn [expletive] travesty!

I'm sure shelf life has something to do with it. If you live in StL, Wholefoods really impresses me with their beer selection.

The extreme craft beer movement is something America should be proud of; it's the jazz of the beer world. We take something classic (luke, um...classical music) and jazz it up a notch (like...jazz music...I think I understand the etymology of those words in our current vernacular).

Yea, but at least it beats going to Schnucks.

Yes. A very tasty brew. Freed, it's a shame you cannot sample Two Bros. Northwind Imperial Stout or Three Floyd's Scottish Ale, or apparently any local craft brew in the FL panhandle. Considering I found a great brewpub in Hays City, KS, I am surprised Pensacola doesn't have something.

Oh there is probably somewhere here that has a bunch of good beers, but not many that also serve chicken fingers.

Freed, have you been to the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton? They have a pretty good selection.
