Cracking Open the Code: Weekday Beer Buying
Let's get the simple stuff out of the way first. Mondays through Fridays, San Antonio operates on a schedule that would make a coffee shop proud. You can snag a six-pack (or a twelve-pack, we don't judge) from 7 am to midnight. That means you can grab a beer before work to, uh, "calm your nerves" for that presentation, or you can wind down after a long day with a frosty beverage. The choice, as they say, is yours.
Pro Tip: Weekdays are your best bet for variety. Grocery stores and convenience stores will have their beer aisles stocked to the brim, so you can find your favorite local brew or try something new.
Saturday Shenanigans: A Beermuda Triangle of Sorts
Here's where things get a little... interesting. Saturdays follow the same 7 am start time, but the party can last a bit longer. You can purchase those celebratory (or celebratory-themed) beers until 1 am on Sunday morning.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
However, this is where the plot thickens. Technically, some package stores (liquor stores, not grocery stores) may have different hours, so it's always a good idea to call ahead and avoid a sad "closed" sign surprise.
Sundays: Sun's Out, Beer... Not Quite Out (Yet)
Ah, Sundays. The day of rest... or is it the day of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out on Beer)? Well, fret no more, because as of September 2021, the beer gods have smiled upon Texas. You can now buy beer and wine at grocery and convenience stores starting at 10 am on Sundays. Hallelujah!
But wait, there's more! If you have a hankering for a mimosa or a Bloody Mary, you're still out of luck until noon. Those delightful brunch beverages fall under the liquor category, and liquor stores can only operate from 10 am to 9 pm Mondays through Saturdays. Sundays? Closed for reflection (or restocking... no judgment).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Remember: These are the general guidelines. Always check with the specific store you plan to visit, especially for package stores that may have slightly different hours.
