While the selection may not be as big as I would have hoped, there was still a nice assortment of sixes, especially for a grocery store chain, with a slight emphasis on locals. I doubt most people are coming here solely for the beer, and were I not trying to hit every beer store in Arlington, in an attempt (which is proving unsuccessful) to bring back a bunch of locals, I wouldn’t have stopped here. Good grocery store though, like all other Whole Foods.

Good selection of beers with seasonal selections. Prices on beers are not the best, but that’s to be expected.

Very small Whole Foods location. City location so parking can be tricky. I had no problem at 3ish on a weekday. Nice beer selection, with a few harder to find items and a nice representation of local beers. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

The beer selection is a nice surprise for a large market. They have a decent variety of micros including Stone, Bells, Dogfishhead, etc. Also some typical but good imports: orval, la chouffe, s. smith’s... Also seemingly random but good limited releases. They apparently celler some beers, as I got a year old and rare RIS. Prices are decent (at least compared to Philly). A nice find that is a great one stop for decent food and nice brew.

They have a lot of good beers. Hard to find ones as well.

This place carries Stone for the east coasters! IPA, Ruination, EPIC, Arrogant Bastard, etc. I was shocked.

Decent selection for a neighborhood (organic) supermarket. Found a cold 500ml bottle of Zywiec Porter here today.

This place had the most hotties per square inch I have ever seen. Crazy. Beer selection decent for the area. High quality but common Belgian bottles, a bit of a US and regional micro selection. Saw some Bluegrass BC, Legend and Lakefront along with more common stuff like Bear Republic and Stone. Few singles, mostly just 6-packs and bombers/750s.

Decent selection of microbrews, and while it lacks the selection of Vienna, when it does get something it’s less likely to be picked over by those in the know. For example, Victory’s 10th Anniversary Alt was long gone from both Norm’s and Whole Foods Vienna, but as of yesterday they still had some here (though it was $11.99 vs $9.99 at Astor).

Stopped by to load up on my way into town. Good selection. Better than Vienna on domestics but all around Vienna is better. Plenty of DFH also found Weyerbacher, Bear Republic, and Lagunitas. If you haven’t been to whole foods, then you don’t know what your missing on the food.
