Whole Foods Market - Springfield

A very small and cramped Whole Foods with a tiny beer selection in the far back corner. Found some Maine beers here which was very suprising to me. Prices were fair but nothing speical. a fair place,

Finally got to this store, and thusly I have been to every Whole Foods in Virginia. It’s an older, small store and as such has some of the old school charm. In a good way, and not in a bad way as some other locations I’ve been to displayed. The staff here is above par, though I was alarmed to see no hot bar out at 2:30 PM. The beer selection is large for a store this size with a good selection of singles and bombers. They now have a growler station with six taps, all of which had quality stuff. Parking seemed alright. Prices were competitive. Nice stop if in the area.

This is much better than the Old Town Alexandria location. Selection is somewhat small (in the 100 bottle range), but it’s decent. They had stuff from Bells, Bruery, Victory, etc. Plus they sell singles so you can mix a six. If you are in the area and need something for your hotel room, this would not be a bad stop (but the Total Wine is much much better if you can swing it)

I’d say that compared to the other Whole Foods in the area, it’s certainly not the best. However, this place has consistently had beers that have been sold out weeks earlier (at least some of the times I’ve shown up there). The selection that is there is pretty solid, not a lot that is super rare, but for the space available, I’m impressed.

The beer section got reorganized, a bit more cramped into the corner, but they have at least 2 (I think 4) taps that you can get growler fills from now.

Not the best Whole Foods in the area, just the most convenient on my most recent business trip to the area. An okay bottled selection of craft beer, decent number of bombers. Didn’t ask for service, but wouldn’t expect a great deal of beer knowledge based on what they stocked.
