Total Wine and More - McLean

A new gem for beer in Virginia - new for me, at least. It’s warehouse sized with a 100-foot aisle of just singles... and I looked around and found that pretty much every 6-pack or case they had was also available as a single, an unheard of luxury that shouldn’t be so unheard of! I was able to pick up a mixed six pack of things I hadn’t seen elsewhere, some IPAs from North Carolina and a couple of whoring beers from countries like Columbia and Bolivia. So yeah, from no on I’m hitting this spot in McLean whenever I head over to the beer stores in Vienna.

Back in the day these places were called Total Beverage and they had a good to great selection of beer. Well no more. The name changed to Total Wine and so did the emphasis of the store. There are lots of beer but it is a rather uninteresting selection. The good news is that they sell tons of singles. The problem is that their quality is sometimes not so good. It is worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood but dont go out of your way for it. Of the ones in the DC area the location in Chantilly seems to have the most selection.
