Has anyone tried the Wegmans in Collegeville? I have heard they have a great selection of beer. I think I might need to check it out this weekend, and treat my wife and I to a nice case for our 6th wedding anniversary.
Let me know if you have any recommendations for a good celebratory beer. We'll also be watching the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since I was in high school, so it's definitely a reason to celebrate!

I've been there twice (I was actually there yesterday).
They have a beautiful cafe and beer selection. I picked up these yesterday and it set me back $37.16:
750ml saison dupont
750ml Rodenbach Grand Cru
750ml Maredsous 10 Tripple
4pack 12oz Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot
So, it's not cheap, but they have a good selection if you're looking for a single beer or a 4/6 pack.
What kind of beers do you like? I personally love various Beglian beers as celebratory beers (full flavor, higher alcohol, slow sippers).

Haha blithering idiot, nice. That reminds me of a certain someone from our job back in Bala, Josh. Initials LI ring a bell?
But Katy drinks everything very fast, so high alcohol sipper beers probably not the best. I'll see what I can find, I'll probably head over Friday sometime.
Was it easy to find and navigate through the beer selection? I find that often is an issue in a place with a wide selection.
Thanks for the info, Josh. Appreciate it.

Went there this morning. Good time. If I didn't have to leave to go pick up my son, I might still be there.
Instead of Justin's suggestion of the Lancaster Variety Pack, I picked up a 6-pack of the LBC Milk Stout and the LBC Strawberry Wheat. I will do the chocolate covered strawberry tomorrow night.
So after dropping those in the car (because you can only purchase 2 six packs at a time), I went back in and had a look around for beers for my poker game tonight. I decided to go with a six pack of a beer I love, Smithwicks. I never had in the house, and am always shocked at the $5 per pint it is sold for at most bars. I also went with a six pack of Yards V Saison, because I love this style of beer, especially this time of year. It will be my first Yards, so I am looking forward to it.
They also have a shelf of individual 12 bottles which you can make your own six pack. You are limited to 3 different variations per six pack, but there weren't any in that spot that caught my eye.
Right now I am sipping the Lancaster Milk Stout. So good. I have to jot down some notes, so peace, I'm out. But be sure to check out the Wegmans.
