A proud Ohio tradition
Day 34
Beer drive-thru
April 29th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Is Bud advertising a “family” 24-pack? Enough for the kids and Gramma, too?
Don’t forget about the dog!
good for 3 or 4 cans alone!
Is this a self service or does someone actually come out and get you beer?
Someone comes out and takes your order!
That’s AMAZING.
This blows my mind!
ask if they still sell Buckeye ale in the 16 ounce bottle
Next one we come to, I’ll check.
Ah, the Brew-Thru. Gotta love ’em!
I hope Barry got a “Brew-Thru” T-Shirt. He would look fabulous!
Thats too much , wonder if they have in New York??
we have so many of those here in Ohio, wish you would have walked through Southern Ohio, a lot of neat things down here. Good luck on your trip!
As Ann Vallery said, they are all over. I do wish you would have walked more South, there are quite a few interesting things and people. Good luck and be safe.
i swore i saw you on st route 50 in hillsboro, ohio walking in april? Am I crazy or were you there?
In Wyoming, we have drive up liquor stores. Actually they’re quite handy for the soccer Mom who wants to drive through for a pint of whiskey without having getting the punks out of the car.
In Texas, we have a drive -thru alcoholic slushie store! Comes in a styrofoam cup, complete with a straw for your sipping pleasure! Texas rocks! :-)
Eskimo Hut!!
We have this on Long Island too – Dairy Barn drive thrus sell beer.
I was shocked when I moved to New Orleans and saw my first drive-through dacquiri. Well, I was only shocked for the length of time it took me to drive up and get one.
Wow – this is amazing. We have drive through liquor stores in Illinois too but this one’s quite different. What I used to love when I lived in Cali was the drive through mini-mart type stores – if you just wanted to go in your jammies and get some Entemann’s (mmmmmm) and a gallon of milk you could do that. The prices were much higher but you couldn’t beat the occasional convenience. I’ve thought about opening one here for quite some time. I think it would prevail given our weather.
Waiting for drive-thru marijuana stores.
This was also a common enough thing in Pennsylvania, up until maybe 2018 – 2019, when laws changed so you could buy beer at gas stations. Yes, that’s fairly recent. I also remember that Drew Carey joked about this kind of beer store back in 1990 or 1991, on the Johnny Carson Show, shortly before Carson retired.
