Western Supermarket - Mountain Brook

No Longer In Business

The wine (and now beer) department at Western Mountain Brook is great. The staff all know their stuff, and the manager is always glad to help with special orders.

Best supermarket beer selection in Birmingham, and probably the Second best selectin in Birmingham after Vulcan. All Westerns in Birmingham tend to above average beer selections and dynamite wine selections. They have bells, great divide, rogue, chimay, tommyknocker, avery, yazoo, terrapin, sweet water, st. bernadus, in short almost everything in the Birmingham Market. They don’t have growlers..., but still a good place for locals. If I were travelling to Birmingham, I would skip it and just go to Vulcan though.

This place has all the charm of a grocery store. Beer selection not bad for a grocery store, however, there was not one to discuss the attributes of different beers. The prices were a bit higher than the usual place I go. Decided not to buy here since I pass the other place with more selection on my way home.

This is a grocery store... with that said, it is not that bad. They have a decent selection of beers. The prices are average.
