Gas station/convenience store beer

I'm getting Modelo Especial if the station has it. Corona or Blue Moon if not. I'm usually desperate or already drunk if I am stopping into a gas station for beer though.

In BR its not very good. At the Shell station by my house, I usually get Sierra Nevada Pale, Corona, or High Life. maybe PBR

Dunno about here in TX. I live within walking distance to a Specs so I never bother looking anywhere else.

Tons of good stuff. The Texaco down the street from me has a "Beer Cave" walk in cooler full of local stuff like Community, Deep Ellum, Lakewood and Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada, Full Sail, Firestone Walker, Oskar Blues.....the whole wall on the left is craft beer. The wall on the right is BMC. The Texaco used to be owned by a middle eastern man (Lebanese I think) with 2 hot daughters who worked there all the time. So it was a double bonus to go buy beer there....always cops there flirting with the daughters though.

My local ExxonMobil staton in my hood has a couple different shiners and st. Arnolds. They have Kar back hopadilo and a bunch of random bmc

My go to beer store is a gas station. Fella that owns it loves him some craft brew and gets some great stuff. Even has 12 beers on tap.

If I have to hit the Circle K by my house, I grab Sierra Nevada or Sweetwater IPA when they have it.

If I'm running there before hitting my pool (god I miss summertime), I'll do Corona.

That's nice. I'm assuming you arrive in a cab at the gas station?

There are 3 gas stations and a bar in walking distance to my apartment, closest being the bar and one of the gas stations, so I walk all the time Made that trek with friends many a'night when we run out of beer or smokes or both.

I rarely buy beer at gas stations. I like to plan ahead.

I have stopped at random convenience stores in austin and they always have all sorts of craft beer stocked. This past Christmas night I stopped at sketchy looking no name store in deep south austin and was just hoping for shiner. I walked out with Real Ale Lost Gold IPA. Of course, the King Daddy Convinced store in Austin is Whip In. Its not really a convenience store anymore but even 5 years ago you could buy tooth paste, motor oil, milk, lunchmeat and bread as well as have a beer from one of the 15 taps. Now it has morphed into a total craft beer and wine bar/ indian food restauranteur/ live music venue.

You're do better going to a grocery store/package store unless you want to pay more...

As you can see, the 4-Way Market claims to have the "largest selection of craft beer in Nashville." I've been told that they don't, but you can certainly find a lot of stuff like Oskar Blues, Left Hand, Good People, New Holland, Founders, Terrapin, Victory, Stoudts, (the Tennessee breweries), etc...

I have Woodland Wine Merchant right by me, so I have yet to try this gas station out.
