Whole Foods

[Pacioli]

I have to say- the few times I've ventured into Whole Foods in BR, it was the exact opposite.....EYE CANDY WALL-TO-WALL!!!


Maybe I picked good days to show up- but that's how I remember it.

Start calling me before you go so I can go with you. You obviously have better luck than I do. Last Saturday looked like the product of sperm frozen at Woodstock.

Hell, it may have been a real time warp, the EBRSO deputy on private duty at the front of the store was carrying a ginormous revolver!

Wow....


I guess if I go there enough I'll eventually get burned, too...

DO NOT pass up trying the entire line of Wasatch and Squatters beers. They're a Utah Co-Op and quite frankly the best tasting US beers I've had.

^THIS!!!^ I had the oportunity last year when my wife and I went to Vegas to try the Wasatch Devastator Double Bock, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Tried finding it everywhere around here with no luck and luckily my brother-in-law found it at Dournaques in Metairie, it is awesome!!!

Almost picked up three philosophers. Worth the 10 bucks? I am a ale fan myself.

Yeah it's worth it. Did you see that at whole foods too? Because I didn't know they carried that now

Hell, ya'll are making me want to go there.....Just got finished talking about Yuengling's Black and Tan being the best thing out of a tap I've ever had--impossible to find down here-- and here you talk about more great tasting beer!!!!! Guess I need to run up to BR and check out the place!! Thanks for the recommendation too..Where is it from??

Yuengling isnt legal to import here according to the guys at Marcellos in Lafayette. Something about the location of the breweries and regional stuff.

Some of the Albertons have a decent selection as well as Calandro's.... which often has Well's Banana Bread Beer which is delicious.

I'm going to Houston tomorow and will probably pick up some beer not available here in LA. If anybody wants something post youre orders now.

if the offer is still open, if you'd grab me a case of Victoria beer (from mexico), i'll throw in an extra $10 on it to make it worth your while.

While Whole Foods has a decent beer selection, it does not compare to the Clandro's on Perkins

I'm pretty sure 've had Yuengling here in Louisiana. I suppose it's the same reason I can't get New Belgium beer here?

+1000. The manager at Calandros (C.J.) is a huge beer nut and makes sure to maintain the best selection in town by far. Also its constantly rotating. I love stopping by once a week to pick up something new and exciting. If you want good beer and you want whole foods selection to look weak go here. Also Marcellos on Perkins between college and acadian usually has a decent selection as well.

Calandro's also has great eye candy.

Unfortunately WF doesn't have Lazy Magnolia Brewery's Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale. It's supposedly the first beer in the world made with whole roasted pecans, and I really like it. Oddly (but lucky for me) Oak Point Grocery in Watson does carry it.

I think winn Dixie carries it. Aldo if u try semiclaus, that is an ODD beer. Its very strong.

did someone bring it back for you? It has something to do with an alcohol tax if I can remember correctly. Dont hold me to it though.

Decades ago we used to go to Houston to stock up on Coors.

There is a Whole Foods in Lexington and it doesn't compare at all with the one in BR, maybe a quarter the size and doesn't have anything like the selection.

WF also has a great selection of cheeses, prepared food, baked goods, and coffee- not Highland Coffee great, but good enough.

Years ago Coors required it's beer never get hot and stay refrigerated. From brewery to store it was kept cold. Not sure about today though.

That is my understanding, too.

I don't think they had the silver bullet then, either.

I got a case of coors light at sams..... it was warm. Luckily, I have a refrigerator dedicated to beer.

Thats one good thing about having family in Florida. When my grandfather came to visit a month ago I got him to bring me a case.
