Question for beer "mavens" and beyond

high life




rohan gets purple haze

I don't usually go to that sort of place for beer. If I did and I really needed some beer for something, I'd get the Abita. Probably Amber, maybe Turbodog.

Always Abita Amber, Always Louisiana

Believe it or not many of the gas stations including 7/11 and whatnot are carrying craft beer here in Florida. Not a wide array mind you but certainly Sierra Nevada, Stone and the like. Many carry Cigar City or other Florida brews.

Some like Rally have rather good selections and I even found BA Old Raspy there not too long ago.

I get that Bud Light yo.

If I'm in a shite bar like ZeeZee's or Spoon: High Life/PBR

If I'm in a somewhat shite bar with only domestics, or somewhere only selling domestics: Corona

If I'm at a gas station: Sweetwater IPA. It's at every Circle K in the city, including the one I normally walk to from my apartment.

ETA: I'm not a "beer maven and beyond" though..

I proudly pound budlights

I assume I'm in the "beyond" category. Almost all gas stations here carry Deschutes stuff. Most carry some, if not all of the following: Lagunitas, Laurelwood, Bridgeport, Elysian, and Breakside. I have never resorted to Widmer Bros or BMC.

I don't trust the freshness of the IPAs, and most of the damn breweries won't print the date on the label, so I go with Deschutes or a beer that doesn't need to be fresh.

I rarely find myself in this situation. I have a lot of good beer at home and there are plenty of taprooms around. Supermarkets have a good selection, too, for the most part.

You know how the gas stations down here outside the city limits all have the beer chest up front with all of the beer iced down for folks to come in and buy their single? Well the main one I stop at on the way home has the 22oz andygator sitting there with all of the BMC. That is what I get often.
But when I'm down the road and coming home and need a roadie, I will just get the budweiser.

there are a few gas stations around Shreveport that have a LA beer section that will carry Abita, Great Raft, Bayou Teche, NOLA, etc.

so they are not all wastelands
