This Sunday (10/11) is the big opening of Wegmans supermarket in Collegeville. Most of the beer people I know have had this date marked on their calenders and are specifically awaiting the opening of the Pub inside the Market Street Cafe. The availability of hundreds of beers in a restaurant setting, along with single bottle and six pack sales will give many a reason to head to the market for more than the normal weekly shopping trip. Of course all is not happy in the land of hops and malt. The MBDA ( Malt Beverage Distributors Association) of Pennsylvania still has issues with retailers selling beer and believes supermarkets are managing to slide by established state laws. Currently a lawsuit filed against the LCB by the MBDA is expected to be heard shortly by the state Supreme Court. The hot topic is covered in depth in the current issue of Philadelphia Business Journal

Looks like the draft beer selection is somewhat dissapointing (could be worse, but certainly could be a lot better).
What did their six pack selection look like?
Have you been to the Wegman's in Warminster to compare selection?
Do they have singles available (the Warminster one has very limited singles, you mostly have to buy 6 or 12 packs...).
I'd like more information if you could do a roving report.
Thanks.
