Ever since Whole Foods started their Growler Station, I have made regular trips to check in on the selection. Whether I stop before or after work, or during lunch, there’s always someone around to talk a little beer with and see what is coming up on draught or grab a taste of what is on tap on the now six taps. My beer guy, Joe, is always on top of what is going and if he is not there, Sara is willing to submit to my questioning and provide a sample or two of the draughts. The service is great and just one of the reasons that I frequent this particular store.
Whole Foods does a great job of hosting events as I am sure some of you have attended the 5×7 events. For those of you that do not know, 5×7 is a tasting held on Friday nights from 5pm – 7pm. It is $5 to participate. With the entry fee, you are given a wine glass, which is yours to keep, as you are sent off into the store to sample five dishes paired with five beverages (wine and beer). The events also have live local music performed near the Osteria. If you have ever stopped in on a Friday after work, this is what all of the activity and excitement in the store is about.
Now, Whole Foods is getting even more into the “beer thing” and hosting a Beer Dinner at the Osteria. Rich Sinclair of The Brew Kettle is going to be in on Monday, November 7th with beer pairings for five courses. The food, prepared by Chef Eric Colby, will be a twist on traditional Thanksgiving offerings. The brews, we are told, will be seasonal offerings from The Brew Kettle.

Even more reason to stop up tonight!
Thanks.
Entry #1 for this giveaway… hopefully I’ll make it back to the east side & Whole Foods once or twice this weekend for a few more!
What a creative way to enter to win. I may have to make a special trip to Whole Foods this weekend!
Thanks, also, for the information about the 5×7. I had no idea!
I’d love to attend this event. Maybe I’ll make the trip to Whole Foods for a Halloween growler fill and a check-in this weekend…
I thought doing this little scavenger hunt to check-in beers on untappd to enter is something different. Plus you have the added bonus of drinking the beer! Cheers.
I added you on untappd; I assume that’s how you can track our check-ins?
And thanks for the tip on the growler deal this weekend; was the deciding factor in running up there before the ballgame tonight.
I got your checkin, Rob. Glad I offered some news you could use!
Would love to attend!

Beerfox had talked about it on another blog and i went there and was blown away. it located 8916 day drive in parma, sorta looks like a dive, but is very clean in side.
