The Brew-Thru is a novel concept that I discovered in PA last summer... pull through in your truck, someone tosses a case of beer in the back, pay the guy and drive right on through the garage... too cool. But, it does suck that you can't pick up a 6-pack at a gas station. PITA. [:(]

It's Kum & Go and they sell t-shirts and hats. They have their own line of beer brewed for them called Hiland. There is a light lager, a pale lager, an ice lager and a malt liquor. None are very good, but all are dirt cheap. [:D] You never know, some gas stations do have some random good beer. Royal Liquors in KC is a gas station and is one of the best stores in the city. I love running across good beer in random small town stations.

was in Royal just a few days ago, that place is a joke.. most of the beer is old and most people who work there looked/acted like glue sniffers... i really hope you are talking about a trip you took years ago because as of 4 days ago, one of worst beer establishments i have ever been too.. for a gas station, yes- amazing selection.. but having a great selection of old brews doesn't make it a good store... they had so many beers i wanted to buy then looked at the millimeters of dust on the bottles or the black sludge and had to move on..

Haven't been in a couple of years, must have gone downhill. The beer did seem a little slow to move back then, but I didn't hate the place. Usually when I was in KC I went to Riverside Red X or a Lukas. As a whole, KC has been improving and getting to where they should be with the size of the city.

Lukas is still totally legit, Gomers too .. . I think maybe because Lukas is 3-4 minutes away Royal gets killed in the beer department.. they have beer that's expired by 2-3 years, and that's beer on the top shelves and the BYO selections.. like i said, either glue sniffers, or now that i think about it, gasoline huffers...

There is a gas station in Ridgecrest, CA that has met the same fate. Used to be a great place to pick up beer...now everything in there is at least three years old.

The Chevron at my exit has a great beer and wine selection - and in date; those guys will get everything new that they can get their hands on (probably because they know I'll buy it) and take requests and do their best to fill it.

i usually check. i've found a few gems over the years.

In Chicago in the 70s and 80s, you could buy 6 packs of Budweiser in laundromats
