Must resit the urge…..

Posted on February 27, 2007 by | Comments Off on Must resit the urge…..

I need to stop shopping. This time I am in Whole Foods in Arlington and they are carrying large selection of beers that you might find interesting. For Clipper City they are carrying, Mchenry beer, Peg leg and the Oxford branded beer. They also have Dogfish Head: 60 min, 90 min and indian brown. For Smutty Nose: Shoals Pale Ale, IPA. Dominion: Hop Poocket and Ale. Legend had had 5 of the beers on the shelf. They also have Arrogant Bastard Ale and Ruination IPA from Stone Brewing Company and finally Avery’s Hog heaven and Rogue’s Brutal bitter. I probably missed a few on the shelf 🙂

A trip to World Market in Tysons Corner turned up and interesting selection of beer.They have 15 types of rogue beer in 22 oz bottles. Including the familiar dead guy ale. They also have some beer I have never had before including Spanish Peaks Brewing Company, Left hand Brewing, Green Flash Brewing, Nectar Ales, Affligem. I ended up with a six pack of Honey Raspberry from Spanish Peaks, a six pack of Black Dog also from Spanish Peaks and finaly a 500ml Golden promise from my favorite brwewery in Edinburgh, Caledonian. I think I should leave now.
