It is ...You are right about the Weg's in Pittsford. It is enormous and has a very good selection. Whenever I go back there to visit my parents I try and pick up a few growlers of CBC as well.<BR/><BR/>Middle Ages actually has a pretty good presence in Syracuse, and Wegmans sells a lot of the "Family Jewels" 12-packs. What's interesting is that Wegmans already has a very good beer selection for a grocery store, so if they are upgrading from their already sizeable selection, that can only be a good thing.<BR/><BR/>The reason I am cautiously optimistic is because I remember about a year ago someone told me that Tully's (the sports bar/restaurant) was going to be upgrading to good beers. But I went there a month or so ago and they had the same swill on tap they always did. So I don't want to get my hopes up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149681322702330575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360806.post-25617890701420434552008-07-20T16:29:00.000-04:002008-07-20T16:29:00.000-04:00In Rochester, Wegmans Pittsford (which makes many ...In Rochester, Wegmans Pittsford (which makes many of the other Wegmanses look like Wilson Farms) has the Unibroue Rudy mentioned. Ommegang includes Ommegeddon and that Chocolate thingy, Brooklyn includes Local 1. But what's most promising to me are the Customer Brewcrafters growlers, which suggest a local approach. Would a Syracuse store stock Middle Ages growlers?Buttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904833500861250732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360806.post-63427381641890154302008-07-18T21:01:00.000-04:002008-07-18T21:01:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comment.

The selection at Weg's out here has been pretty decent as of the last 2 years or so, but they usually stop at the "mid-majors" as I call them (Victory, Dogfish Head, Magic Hat, Stone). I'm not saying they won't do that, but they could be a) expanding the beers they get in any given brewery (ie. more Victory beers, more Stone beers, etc.) or b) expanding the array of breweries they represent or c) the guy I overheard could have been full of crap.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, I'm hoping that the sale of A-B to InBev -- while hardly ideal -- will somehow stop giving macro drinkers a false sense of patriotism and get them to start drinking some of the "true American" craft selections.
