Boom. Long in the works, a brand new beer cave opens in K-town. Somewhere, a buzzed angel gets its wings. This particular cave is housed at the Ingles on Emory Road, some of you may know it. Let's peek inside this brand new cooley-freezey box.
Swanky, powerful, damn cold and with reasonable prices no less. The real shame about these great repositories of the sauce, is that so few grocers and markets have them. Let's face it, the majority of Knoxville will be years away from such a luxury unless they want to put in the extra effort. Noodle that last sentence. Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Also part of Ingle's expansion and assimilation of everything off Exit 112, is this arrogant and totally beautiful wall of suds with enough quanity to outfit a brigade. Yes, it does go on and on.
Heh heh. Schlitz has little to do with this, except it was stocked in heroic and devastating amounts near the cave. Been waiting for this old formula to make it down this way. In any event, come check out the new cave, folks. It will never be brand spankin' new again.
Beer caves are beautiful things. The gas station next door to the Waffle House in Halls has a small one.
ReplyDeleteAnd Catdaddy's Market in Tazewell has had a beer cave since it opened in 2001 or so.
We here in Powell are blessed to live in the shadow of such a leviathan. It has made us somewhat arrogant on the subject of shopping.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in areas where the nearest supermarket was a dung heap of misery that supported the theory that Zombies are real and living among us. Now, I shop in a Cathedral.
The anticipation of having kegs on "Ready 5" makes me tremble. The Tiki was plagued with ill-timed keg-blows all summer that left us thirsty. No more, I tell you. Now salvation can be found within a MILE!
I am intrigued by Kirin off the tap.

And finally Mackey can get a 1\6th of a barrel of mich ultra!

Awesome - totally awesome!! I'm also intrigued by the Kirin, it caught my eye immediately.
ReplyDeleteSKM - two letters for you: f and o.
The thing about it is, who in their right mind would go in there looking for say BL, then look at the modest extra cost for Yuengling, and not get one of those? Heck even the Kirin is not that much more.
ReplyDeleteMake sure the person can pronounce Shock Top as well. All kinds of confusion reigns if they cannot.
