Good news for beer heads in the Plymouth Meeting area:

The Whole Foods store opening Tuesday (1/12) at Plymouth Meeting Mall (500 W. Germantown Pike) will have rooftop cafe and 28-seat sit-down pub with a fairly ambitious beer and wine program -- at least by Pennsylvania supermarket standards.

WF will sell beers by the glass as well as in 32-ounce and 64-ounce growlers for take-home.

Wines will be sold by the bottle only for consumption in the pub; wines also will be sold by one-, three-, and six-ounce glass. Figure on $1 to $4 for a one-ounce taste, $2.50 to $9 for a three-ounce pour; and $5 to $18 for a six-ounce glass.

    What?! No bottled beer? Wegman's in Collegeville has a lot of quality bottled beers, including Belgians.

    The problem with overturning our archaic and ridiculous beer laws is that now we can add Whole Foods and Wegmans to the list of companies that will fight tooth and nail to keep the status quo as they will want the protection from increased competition.
