COLUMBUS, Ohio - The White Castle hamburger chain is sipping on the idea of selling alcoholic beverages at its restaurants. The 90-year-old company is testing beer and wine sales at a location in Lafayette, Ind., that combines a traditional White Castle burger joint with a Blaze Modern BBQ, a new restaurant concept also being tried out. In other cities, Columbus, Ohio-based White Castle is testing an Asian food concept and a restaurant that serves grilled sandwiches.

Getting people drunk first might encourage them to buy those greasy sliders.
White Castle burgers were good after a night of drinking to sop up the excess.

They should work on getting the food out the window in less than 10 minutes first.
Every time I go to one it’s 10+ minutes waiting when there is no other customers in front of me.
then 50% of the time, they screw up my order.
I still like a good gut bomb though.
For me, the sliders usually come after the beer.
And then the battle is to keep them both from coming back up.
I had my first and last White Castle hamburgers in early August 1975 in Indianapolish, IN. I decided to try it for supper the night before I shipped out for my first Army tour in Germany. I was completly unimpressed with them and haven’t had one since.
Perfect product symbiosis -- alcohol begets slider cravings, at which you can now get more alcohol. The never-ending cycle.
Who in their right mind would order wine at white castle.
My late night burger of choice was at the Waffle House, along with the shoestring fries.
they F you at the drive through, as Leo said.
I luvs me some Jalapeno cheesburger sliders.
I used to get WC frozen burgers (no restaurants near me).
But when I saw the unsanitary conditions of the floor where they pack them on “Undercover Boss” I never bought them again. Nor would I go to their restaurants since the view from the top has so little regard for cleanliness.
Colt 45 on tap? That ought to make for good ambiance. /s
People who order wine at White Castle are the type who think that if it comes in a box or has twist off tops it’s for the upper crust.
That being said if I put down a few belly bombs with a large order of their onion chips along with a few beers, dear lord you better not be downwind an hour later...
Normally the sliders come after consumption of adult beverages. Sometimes with less than desired results. Not sure if that’s the beverages fault, or the sliders.
Hmmm... Might need more research.
I was going to say, PBR and sliders? whats not to like?
