On our way back from a little jaunt to Ithaca for lunch, we stopped at the Ithaca Wegman’s supermarket for some weekend supplies. While Darcy was getting ingredients for “the dip”, I put as much beer in our cart as I could in three minutes.

I was shocked by how large the beer section was. Two full aisles (on both sides) of local, state and international offerings. Seems like almost every brewery that has ever boxed a variety pack has found its way here, even ones in cans. There was no shortage of great options for the ride home.

As I fell in lust with Southern Tier’s offerings last summer, I focused my attention on them. ÜberSun (imperial wheat ale), Unearthly (imperial IPA), oaked Unearthly, and Hoppe (imperial APA) are coming back to the ATL in bombers, while the IPA and HopSun are in six-packs. I also pulled a sampler 12-pack of cans from Pork Slap brewing, some folks I met at Ommegang last summer. Thank goodness I’m driving a 16′ truck back from here on Monday!
