Craft Beer*
From hop-forward IPAs to clean-tasting and crisp pilsners, your store’s assortment of local beer options make this a foolproof call. In fact, we leave the majority of the selection in any given Whole Foods Market Beer department up to our regional buyers to decide.

Guacamole
Guac is undefeated on game day. Explore our made-in-house mild, medium and spicy varieties for every flavor of fan. Load up on fresh veggies and tortilla chips for dipping deep into the fourth quarter.

Top Game-Day Recipes to Make
Thinking of making some of the snacks yourself? We have plenty of ideas and recipes to get you started.
Perfect Guacamole
Meet your new go-to recipe for this game-day essential. Follow our method to make it in minutes, then try our variations. Pair with vegetable crudités or 365 by Whole Foods Market tortilla chips.
Buffalo Cauliflower “Wings”

Once you make fresh salsa from scratch, you’ll be officially hooked. Scoop up with Siete Grain-Free Sea Salt Tortilla Chips for the ultimate snack.
