When you first roll in to a new town you are probably thinking about priorities. Finding beer is not one. It a basic survival skill that compels you to look for beer before you even think about priorities.
2013, Day 1- Starkville, MS
Went to the Piggly Wiggly. I was questioning a guy- who was hefting a 24 pack of BudLite but who seemed actually interested in beer selection possibilities, go figure- where the best beer might be found in Starkville. Clueless me was getting "concerned" about said selection at the Pig; where the heck is a decent IPA? Coincidentally, and I did not know it at the time, the Pig had the best grocery store beer selection in town, which was not saying much.
But the BudLite guy clued me in to Brewski's. Brewski's had a decent selection that lowered my stress level considerably....kind of like yoga!
But again coincidentally (try typing that word real fast), or is it ironically or just moronically, the Piggly Wiggly was bought out by a small regional grocery chain headquartered just down the road in Louisville. They made some improvements, but nowhere more important than the beer section. Now, not only does the former Pig still have the best grocery store beer selection in town, they have one of the best overall selections in town, and by Starkville standards, it is very good.
