Beer in America

All,

Further to this post about Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

I thought you might be interested in these photos of the beer fridge at a supermarket in Tiburon, California, which is just over the bay from San Francisco.



If you want to see a picture that you can zoom in on and check out the labels and prices, click on this link:

You may notice in the top left-hand corner Foster's Special Bitter! This hasn't been available in Australia for, well, years. If you were going to drink a light beer, this was always my choice.

The most beautiful thing about this photo is that there's not a Bud in sight!

Cheers,

Oliver

Actually Cali has some of the best Bud in the world

Good pic though, thanks for the teasing reminder!

$8.49 for a six pack of Sierra Nevada, what a rip off. I remember I picked it up for $7.99 when I was in Arizona a year ago. Picked up a 6 pack of Coopers Stout for $8.99 there too.

If you could bring me back one of each.

Thanks

LOL at "Arrogant Bastard Ale". I want to try it, based on name alone.

Oh I just saw Spaten down the end, under the Heineken keg cans (which are between to the Fosters and Newcastle Brown). I wonder if it is "brewed under license"?

No, the bud/Miller/Coors is farther down or farther up just out of the pic. Speaking of 'bud', I see they have Lost Coast Great White and Downtown Brown, but no Indica
Reminds me of grocery stores in Washington state. On the top shelf to the far left, there is a blue carton of Alaskan Winter Ale sticking out! Yum! 2 Below 12 packs! Yum yum! Arrogant Bastard! ... because yellow fizzy beer is for wussies!
Fosters.. what America thinks is Aussie beer, imported from Canada. Fosters Bitter, in the colour scheme of VB... still brewed in Canada.
On prices.. I believe the posted price is before sales tax, which depending on what county you are in can range from 5 to 10%....
