Mike's

I am not a big drinker, but I do enjoy a Mike's hard lemonade at times.  While shopping in PA, I realized none of the grocery stores had alcohol selections.  Turns out you have to go to a state run store for wine/hard liquor, but can get Mike's at a beer distributor.  I happened to have lunch one day next door to a distributor, so went in.  The only way to buy Mike's was by the case!  Since I'm not staying in one city long enough to use up a case and don't want to bother traveling with it, I gave up.  They said I could go to a bar which had a "to go" section and buy a six pack, but I'd pay a premium price.  But wait!!  When I was in Wegman's (Trader Joe's on steroids), I saw an alcohol department, and sure enough--a six pack of Mike's at a fairly reasonable price.  I had to buy my groceries, put them in the car, go back in to buy the Mike's and check out through a designated register, but I got it!!  Whew!
