Originally reviewed: 1/4/10. In town for the holidays and I stopped in here to grab some beer for a poker night with some friends. The place mostly consists of liquor and spirits, but the entire wall on the left of the store is dedicated to beer. They had a decent selection of singles, and mixed-sixers were only $7.99. That’s $1 cheaper than any place in my area. Not too bad. They carried a good amount of "local" craft including, Sand Creek, Pearl Street, New Glarus, Tyranena, Central Waters, Capital, etc. Also saw some selections from Three Floyds, Boulevard, Goose Island, Rogue, etc. This is a pretty great selection for a grocery chain. Would that all groceries carried this amount of craft brew. What a wonderful world that would be...

(Visited 10/2010): Festival Foods is on Copeland not too far from downtown La Crosse. Fairly large parking lot. There are multiple entrances to Festival, and the beer/wine/alcohol store has their own entrance on the left side. The beer is located immediately inside on the left in coolers and on shelves across from those. Pretty solid selection of regional brewers like New Glarus (including Belgian Red), Oso, Central Waters, Tyranena and others. Also a decent array of micros like Rogue, Stone, etc. Mixed sixers and singles are also an option. Service was about what was expected, as this is basically the liquor section of a grocery store. The people working checkout were friendly though. Overall this is a solid place to hit for a pretty good array or area goodies.
