Just beyond the canned goods and produce aisles where he usually grabs his groceries, Jack Curtin recently grabbed a pub lunch.
He started with the chicken breast sandwich special and a nice Belgian ale. His ex-wife had the crusted Atlantic salmon fillet. And they did it without ever leaving the store.
They were in "The Pub at Wegmans" in Collegeville, Pa. And the pub was in a Wegmans supermarket.
And it was all pretty good.
"Let's put it this way," says Curtin, who writes professionally about beer, "if I were shopping and a felt like having a beer, I would have no compunction about walking over there, sitting at the bar and having a beer."
