White Castle: Little Burgers & Beer?

9o years later, White Castle Burgers are toying with the idea of selling beer & wine.   Stores in Lafayette Indiana are actually already testing the theory.  Beers are $3, and wine is $4.50.   This particular White Castle not only sells the beloved little burgers, but Blaze Barbecue – part of a new concept  being developed by White Castle Inc.
