And sometimes not. I have this weird thing I do on a trip, I go into a Safeway or other major super and pace off the beer cooler, comparing the Bud/Miller/Coors section to the craft.import section. More and more the craft/import secdion is winning big time. Even at the Albertson;s near my aunt;s house -- she lives near Indio out on the desert in Southern California, the import/craft section has passed the light lagers in shelf footage. And that;s in the light lager heartland. Yeah and they also carry Racer 5 and sometimes even Orval. And sometimes not.

I am impressed that they tend to be one of the first places to carry Lagunitas seasonals. Safeway’s been getting better, but there is definitely a section in the aisle that you shouldn’t cross.
