More stores should add the option …And the ever-increasing array of variety 12-packs are a win-win - cutting costs and doing the mixing for you. Mix-a-sixes are superb: you can sample new releases, delve into unexplored styles, reunite with an old fave, etc. The “Aha!” moment when you spy the hidden treasure can be invigorating, but getting “NEW!” beer shouldn’t devolve into a game of Where’s Waldo? The better stores have a shelf/rack/table/area trumpeting their “NEW!” Arrivals. Most beer geeks know what’s coming out, but folks who are curious about craft offerings will be attracted by the word “NEW!” (it’s Pavlovian). But too many stores make the new stuff difficult to find (“Hey, just squeeze this in over there!”). There are new brands and releases every week. Be true to your local stores for go-to favorites, and save the immense beer immersion trips for the weekends. But a well-chosen and varied selection at smaller stores is usually all you need. If you want to peruse a Vast Array of Beer - perhaps a Confoundingly Astounding Beer Selection - head to the superstores. Many stores group beers geographically: New England, East Coast, West Coast, Europe, etc. And with the proliferation of new brands and releases, and the limits of shelf/cooler/walk-in space, that’s understandable: “Hey, just squeeze this in over there!” It’s better to have a plan. Too many beer sections are a haphazard mess. Here’s the list of the features that add up to Retail Beer Bliss. And we spend way too much time thinking about what would constitute The Best Beer Store. We spend a lot of time in liquor stores (hey, it’s in the job description). All of the esteemed FRIBS nominees are committed to stepping up their beer game day in/day out, and many fulfill the “Shelf life” suggestions. īut before we announce the FRIBS Mix-A-Six of Honorees, we’re going to dip into the Bottles & Cans archive and excerpt a few entries from “Shelf life: Building the best beer store,” which ran in the 4.4.12 edition of the late, lamented Providence Phoenix. Thanks to all the B&C readers who clicked through to support the packies!. Sour Willie can be purchased on the medical markets in Colorado and Oregon, but elsewhere it's a rare find.The results of the Favorite Rhode Island Beer Store poll are in! There were 2083 votes cast for 34 stores in six regions. There are few public reports of adverse effects, but watery eyes and dry mouth are usually the most common. Effects include a calming body buzz, an energized cerebral high, increased introspection, and greater sociability. Despite the sativa dominance, Sour Willie produces a high that hits both the body and the mind. Its best medical uses include treatment for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, glaucoma and ocular pressure, fatigue, migraines, and other headaches. But CBD is very low, less than 1%, meaning Sour Willie isn't the best choice for treating seizures or other conditions that respond to CBD. THC is relatively abundant in this strain, topping 17% in at least one publicly available test. The taste is fresh and is also reminiscent of diesel. It has a spicy, fruity smell with hints of fuel from its Diesel ancestry. Sour Willie produces dense nugs with dark green, light green, purple, and amber coloring. A blend of Sour Diesel and Willie Nelson, this strain is sativa-dominant, though its exact ratio of sativa to indica is unclear.
