I must say I'm really disappointed to see what their beer section has become.  Seems like every time I go there, the beer section becomes smaller and smaller and it is being moved to a less prominent area. I guess they have their reasons, maybe it doesn't sell as well as their wine. Don't get me wrong, they still have a decent small selection, but I used to go there back in the mid 90's and they had a huge selection of beer and it used to be the place to go. I guess things change. Just kind of sad to think of what it used to be. | ||

It's really sad to see what it's become. You are correct about Rouses. They have a really good selection of beer. I went in there last week and found some really great stuff. | ||

Stopped by Martin's this week hoping to pick up something new... their beer selection seems to get smaller each time I go. They do have a good selection, it's just nothing new and very small. | ||

Sad. But, I noticed that Sidney's, in the French Quarter, seems to be getting better. Yes, Rouses is good, but it's a little expensive. | ||

Then, suddenly, it was gone. | ||
