Woodman’s Foods - Onalaska

Stopped by 6/13/21. Fairly typical Woodman's but I did find this one had a slightly large selection, BYO and otherwise. As a Woodman's, good prices and huge selection. I picked up quite a bit here. Worth a stop if you're hunting local beers or ticks.

This is my go to store when visiting my next door neighbor state. Conveniently located right off I-90. Selection has always been solid and good selection of beer brands that are not distributed in my home state of MN. I'm not sure if it's due to COVID or what, but the last time I stopped in the store the selection was trimmed down significantly. Still can get Wisc staples like New Glarus, Central Waters, Oso, Capital, Ale Asylum, etc. But it was missing some of the specialty beers that I normally see.

Walmart like grocery store with a dedicated liquor section inside. Good selection of local brews.

Best bottle shop in LaCrosse, I believe. All bombers in the cooler. Lots of TG when I stopped in (IPA bombers for $7.50 - nice!). Lots of mullets. Lots of cases of McBeer in line. Open on Sundays unlike MN stores.

Despite a location inside a grocery store, it still has that liquor store crud to it. If you park on the side, you’ll enter the store next to the liquor section. The BMC is located in the far right aisle and along the back coolers. The craft beer is along the far left aisle. I like that nearly all of their beer was refridgertated. They had a solid national craft section but what distinguishes this place is the large amount of Wisconsin craft they sell as well as a rather sizable’ refridgerated pick 6 for $8.99 which is a couple bucks less than my local charges with vastly inferior beer to select from. True they only accept debit and cash and they dont have much of a bomber section so I think this place is more good local than destination place.

Pretty awesome beer store for being in a grocery store. Singles for sale, lots of local WI stuff, big selection of New Glarus, including Serendipity, Raspberry Tart, and the sour and Berliner from the Thumbprint series. A couple Bruery beers, Hoppin Frog - all around solid spot. Cash or debit card only.

I stopped in during an overnight stay in Onalaska. They have a large selection of WI beers, much of which is under refrigeration. I especially like that they sell singles and you mix your own six pack for $8.99. The only downside is they do not accept credit cards, so bring a debit card or cash if you plan to shop here.

Pretty extensive collection and all of it in coolers. Nothing to unusual, but a ton of locals plus some interesting craft brews.

Visited Sunday afternoon. When I initially went in, I parked in the front of the store, and only wound the macro beer in the grocery area. After wandering a bit, I found the full beer / liquor store. The beer selection is good, big selection on Wisconsin beers, and most sold as singles. They had Serendipity, which was a big bonus. Overall, good service, good store. Would give the slight edge to this store over Festival simply because they sold singles rather than mix a six. Either / both are a good stop when in or passing through the La Crosse area.

70 = ★★½ (Locals should check it out, visitors with extended time)

I only use the total score, not the component parts.

Originally reviewed: 11/30/10. Stopped in here to pick up some NG fruit beers for the holidays. Up to visit family for a few days. So nice to see NG all over the shelves around here. What I wouldn’t give to get them down in NC...Walk in the front and the beer is all over the left side of the store. The entire wall is dedicated to good beer. A great selection of singles to make a mixed sixer, lots of bombers, and an extensive list of sixpacks. All the usual suspects were there, Tyranena, NG, Capital, Rush River, Central Waters, etc. Among others were some great bombers from Goose Island and Boulevard. Six packs from too many breweries to name. Nice spot for great beer. All the beer is in coolers as well, which is always nice. Everything is ready for consumption right when you get home. Prosit!
