Spring is here and with it comes great beer. We’re excited to announce that our April ‘Beer of the Month’ will be (drum-roll please)… Victory Brewing Company! Save on select 6pk and 12pk’s of Victory beer at your local Consumer’s Beverages.

This month we continue our April initiative of supporting Parkinson’s disease awareness.

Through the month of April, when you buy a 12pk of Stella Artois you’ll receive a Stella Artois chalice ($9 value!) as well as a Stella Artois chocolate bar (1.25oz) while supplies last. Consider it our Easter gift to you!
