Some pretty omnipresent mass produced swill. Last time I had it was at the Rockets game with ol @Brendan Devine, for his bday I believe. Stadium swill. (All due respect to our friends at Unti, as I believe their Vermentino is available on the concourse at the Warriors’ new arena. This was all before the NBA relocated to a bubble, obviously. Shout out #moops.) It wasn’t good, but we enjoyed it.
However, it’s a real tale of two cities type of beverage. Here in the birthplace of our nation, good wine is tougher to come by than it should be. State stores are often the only option, and their selection apparently tops out at Decoy. Zinger, but true. Meanwhile Wawa is paying upwards of $200k for the right to sell Natty Light in a *single* store in DelCo. Some real residues of Prohibition ‘round here. Didn’t realize the Quakers were so puritanical but no doubt they likewise had no use for the drinking classes (my Mick ancestors). Enter 19 Crimes.
To paraphrase the iconic 90s flick “Swingers,” in Houston you can avoid stadium swill. In Philly, stadium swill finds you.
