Woodman’s Food Market (Janesville)

Not too bad of a selection for a town the size of Janesville (we still deserve better though.) They have lots of local stuff and other stuff from surrounding areas, but they keep a constant rotation, so the favorite beer of last week might not be there tomorrow. Most of the staff is pretty clueless, but if you have a chance to talk to the manager Jeff, he will be more than willing to order whatever you want.

A Woodman’s with no singles/mix-a-six section? For Wisconsin, an barely above average selection, New Glarus is now $6.99 a six pack, with signs up everywhere stating do not mix. In the German and UK imports, check for bottling/freshness dates, lots of old beer. The Belgians are displayed in open coolers under lights, so I didn’t bother. Great 40’s/Malt Liquor selection though, a good place for purchasing a cheap drunk. Also a good place for low priced/moderate quality Wisconsin meats, sausages and cheese. Under staffed like all Woodman’s. You also need to remember that the Woodman’s chain won’t pay processing fees, so no checks or credit cards, cash or debt card only.

I’d been to the Madison Woodman’s before, and was expecting a similar setup, but the Janesville location has a far smaller beer selection, and no make-your-own six pack. Needless to say I was disappointed. They did have some stuff I wasn’t entirely expecting, including Arcadia London Porter, Great Divide Hercules and Oak Aged Imperial, as well as the cheapest New Glarus I’ve seen ($6.39 a six pack). So it’s better than your average grocery store liquor department, but nothing stellar either.

Only reason why I go to this place is to get New Glarus beers and some other strange wisconsin beers. The place is pretty run down as compared to other woodmans I have been to.

Do you like macros? Do you like obscure regional macros from the likes of Gluek and City Brewery? Then this is the store for you! An entire 100’ + aisle of nothing but crap beer that you’ve never heard of, dozens of brands that you’ll never see outside of Wisconsin, all for $1.50-$3 a six..maybe less. Oh, they have good beer, too, the usual solid Woodman’s selection of Wisconsin micros (best prices you’ll find on New Glarus), but this particular store caters to swill lovers like no other I’ve seen. I love it.
