State lines, Bible belts, Liquor laws and distributors
Man this is crazy! Memphis seems to be the beer and spirits capitol of the world! It's everywhere. But the selection is terrible. Same stuff everywhere. Hard to find good Bourbon, and there is only one beer store in all of Memphis that sells a wide variety of imports.
Bourbon- They have Ancient Age, but not Ancient Ancient Age. Both come from the same distillery. Had a store call the distributor and he says they can't get it. Arkansas, where I lived previously, has very tight liquor laws. However, someone yesterday suggested I travel across the Muddy Waters to Walgreens in W. Memphis (Arkansas). Walgreens? Sure enough, best selection I have seen anywhere around. Got my Ancient Ancient Age, and they have more beers than you can shake a stick at. Loaded up on 1554, my new favorite beer. Stingers in Reno had it on tap, and man that stuff is good! Almost tastes like black licorice! Do they just realize that most people in Memphis will drink swill and be happy? Is that why we get what we get? Crazy. |
