With the cool and beautiful autumn months now upon us, regional craft beer lovers are looking forward to more than just football, foliage, and Halloween parties. They’re also looking forward to indulging in the
vast array of beer styles that become available each fall.
And, while Price Chopper/Market 32 has been long known to have all a superior meat department,
fresh, locally-grown produce, and all of your football party fixin’ needs, they are also now well known for
having a wide variety of your favorite local, regional, and national beer brands.
Whether you are into classic American Light Lagers, such as Miller Lite, Bud Light, or Coors Light, or into the latest, hard-to-get local craft brew, and everything in between, Price Chopper/Market 32 has a selection for you.
Since the early/mid 2010’s Price Chopper has stepped up big time in the beer game as they greatly shifted the dynamics of their store layouts, added more space for beer, and fully embraced national, regional, and local craft beer. At the time, they expanded many of their beer departments to include a “Pick 6” section, which allows consumers an opportunity to piece together their own mixed 6-packs, in turn allowing them to explore more local beer options. They also began offering local beer options on draft through their Growler Station departments that are featured at a handful of stores.
As for fall seasonal beer styles at Price Chopper & Market 32, they’ve got them all covered. You’ll find the latest Oktoberfest style beer from nearly a dozen different brands. Pumpkin beers and other styles such as Maple Porter, Harvest Ale, Brown Ale and Marzen lagers are plentiful.
Look for offerings from the national craft darlings such as Samuel Adams Octoberfest, Sierra Nevada’s new Octoberfest Festbier, Founders All Day Chill Day, Leinenkugel’s Octoberfest . Of course, each of these brewery’s flagship beers are also available.
While regional favorites from breweries such as Great Lakes Brewing Company, Brooklyn Brewery, Harpoon Brewery, Sloop Brewing, Fiddlehead, Saranac and many others line the shelves, Price Chopper & Market 32 is truly focused on promoting their local breweries.
“We partner with more than a dozen local brewers in the Capital Region and in communities throughout Upstate New York, each with their own awesome offerings of brewed-close-to-home creations,” explains Tyler Blance from the corporate marketing team, “We are always looking for the next best craft brew, and our selection is always evolving.
