Irony in beer shopping
I get the good stuff from a Whole Foods here, skipping the tofu, organic range fed ostrich, and all that bulls***... but the beer aisle makes me laugh...
On one end we have the 500-750ml bottles of the good stuff - Unibroue, Rogue, Chimay, Lambic, assorted others....
In the middle, 6 and 12 packs of assorted beers, Red Stripe, Flying Dog, Hoegarden (sp), Abita, etc..
And tucked in the corner.. 12 packs of Pabst Blue Ribbon. If that isn't irony! The 4 packs there have probably been sitting since the store opened.
On the flip side, more traditional chains here are picking up the good stuff. While I haven't found Unibroue anywhere else yet, the Sav-A-Center chain picked up Chimay. Of course it's funny seeing 3 linear feet of shelf space for imports/upscale compared to 80 linear feet of NASCAR beer :P
