Trader Joe’s - Redding

Typical Trader Joe’s, but beer selection is half of other stores: about 1/2 of one side of an aisle. Large craft breweries. No local breweries. Not worth visiting for beer, but of course awesome food selection.

I usually like shopping at Trader Joe's because they allow you to make your own six pack. The selection at this particular location however was so poor that I found it impossible to find six beers that I actually wanted to have. Most beers seem to be either own brands or Boatswain beers, which I have found to be pretty poor in the past. For food shopping, the place is OK.

It’s a decent Trader Joe’s store... they carry Chimay, Duvel, Lindeman’s, and other craft beers from the USA, England, and Germany. But most of the beers there are their "house" ales and lagers that are made for them by either Gordon Biersch or Goose Island brewing. The one stand out (besides the aforementioned Belgian ales) is the Vintage ale from Unibroue / Canada.
