Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
I get mine here the past few years: http://www.deciccos.com/

It is a full-serve upscale supermarket...prices for groceries are a bit high IMHO, but the food is of very nice quality. Also, the store is kept very nicely..clean, always have workers inside restocking dry goods as well as produce, etc. However, what makes it stand out is the BEER SELECTION. Mmn, BEER!!!

Here are some other reviews: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24327

They claim that their new store up in Brewster has the largest selection of beers in New York State:

Either way, the selection is very impressive the prices are right in line where they should be.

I didn't know they had a good beer selection. I'll have to keep that in mind when I am near one. Our local distributor in Eastchester has a very nice selection so no need for me to travel too far for beer.

+1 for Julios when in Ma or a small local wine store called the VinBin, small beer selection but they have bombers and growlers of BBC and a pretty good selection of Microbrews. Great wine selection and INSASNE cheeses.

When in NH usually Hannafords in Meredith or whatever grocery store has the best weekly sale going as I usually stay pretty generic up there, Long Trail, Magic Hat, Tuckerman, etc...my target 12 pack price is $11.99 up in NH.

New Hampshire: no tax, no deposit. Less money I give to the clowns up in Hartford. I actually can't remember the last time I bought beer in CT........

In CT, my local packie, B's - really good selection and an every changing selection of micros

Sometimes if I'm in the area, I'll hit up one of the mecca's of New England beer selction, Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge, Mass (http://www.yankeespirits.com/)

And then when I'm in VT, I usally get my beer at the 7-11/Vermont State Liquor Store about 1.5 miles South of Mount Snow - a good vaiety of brews too

Casper! It is less than a mile from my house. They are friends of my wife's family. My son gets to go behind the counter and act like he runs the place. :)

do you bring the bottles back for the deposit you don't pay?

I actually did that once and it worked. The deposit machines read bar codes...so they can't tell if it' NH beer or not. I think at least. :lol:

But I drink 30 packs, so it's more of a pain in the arse to rinse the cans, store them, bring them back to CT, go to the machine, feed them. It's too much work for $1.50.

Wherever I'm close to.
In Boston Martignetti's on Soldier Field Road is great, Trader Joes has a nice selection. There's a great store in Hudson with a good deli attached, can't remember the name, but great selection. In CT the beer distributor in Port Chester is great, there's a sore on Rt 7 in Norwalk that's good, 99 Bottles in Norwalk is pretty good, or at least will order anything. Whole Foods has a set of noce beers, not a wide selection, but good quality.
