Thread: Trader Joes is carrying a whole bunch of more beers

Its got a C+ overall on beeradvocate. I don't take those ratings too seriously, but C+ for an American macro lager like that isn't too shabby at all. Ranks way above BMC.

I work for TJs. I write the beer order. Red strip biggest seller

Red Stripe? Really? It's not an awful beer, but I would figure Stella or Fat Tire would slaughter it.

I like the Duvel, but it's definitely a bolder flavor. Not for the macro brew crowd.

i think i've seen them carry fischer amber before, too. that stuff...

TJs in Granada Hills has had Duvel for a while now, right next to the red and blue label Chimays.

Surprises me too... Red Stripe is terrible.


At TJs, when I can't afford higher end beers like Duvel (read: always), I pick up Samuel Smith's Organic Lager:



$2.99 but so good.

Thats what I thought too.

I had the simpler times last week....for the price not too shabby.

I'm a micro brew guy myself and Duvel didn't lift my kilt much. I just thought it was impressive to see TJ's carrying it, even though it isn't a go-to beer for me.

Watti - Sam Smith rules. Try their Imperial Stout if you haven't already.
