Where do you get your beer?

[jaywbigred]

All over. I usually get a big haul whenever I am in Ithaca from the Ithaca Beer Company brewery.

Nearby, if I am buying in quantity, I go to Gary's in Madison, NJ, where one of my buddies from HS is a manager. He gives me a sweet discount, and usually throws in a sandwich or a snack or something. Fantastic selection and with the discount you can't beat the prices.

Otherwise, there are at least 4 liquor stores within walking distance of my house in Summit, and they, collectively, have a pretty good selection as well.

And when I'm at Mt. Snow, I too use the state liquor store inside the 7-11 on Rte. 100, which has a surprisingly good selection itself.

High Street market in Keene NH has a surprisingly good selection, and are always getting new stuff.

before there was Julios liquors there was a Julios Grocery Store in that same plaza. Its where we used to food shop as a kid and where my parents worked when they started dating in high school.

Is this the old Volpe's?

Give my buddy Louie some business. :beer:

Don't know about Volpe's nor do I know a Louie. Chase Street is above Biedermans's, across from Town Hall and the Post Office, next to what used to be Tom's Bros Pizza.

You must be new to the area. That store was Volpe's Market for decades before what I recall was the first of two fires.

You don't know Louie? You have never been to Samaha's?

I have discovered this place place near my house called Boot leggers. http://www.bootleggersmaine.com/ Good beer selection and it gets better every week.

Also been visiting Whole Foods lately as they have been getting more and more microbrews in.

The Phat Italian on the Killington Access Road has a rather nice selection of good brews available priced very reasonably. Also a great "wine cave". Very good prices.

Supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores, country stores, all in one shops.... no packys and I shop on Sundays! As a former MA resident, I love it.

That's funny, I actually find buying in MA easier than NH now. You know you can buy on Sundays now? And instead of wandering around to multiple stores for all your libations, it's one stop shopping for beer and booze.

That's cool that they ditched the blue law on Sunday likker. I only buy beer so having as many options as possible works best for me. I could see why someone that frequently buys both beer and likker would be interested in one stop shopping.

My neighbor was just telling me about Gary's. I usually go to Bottle King in Chatham, NJ because they usually have a good selection of LT's.

My buddy, the Infamous "Naked Tim" lives in Chatham!!

Tim is one helluva skier...even when wearing clothes.....

What are LT's? Long Trails?

We went to that Bottle King once and found their beer selection extremely poor, esp. considering the size of the store. Gary's has a terrific selection, and it's maybe 5 minutes at the most from there. Root, you should at least check it out.

That's been gone for a while now in MA, IIRC. We went to the Cape on vacation something like 10 years ago, maybe 12, and I remember what a novelty it was that you could buy booze on Sunday. Here in CT, we still cannot.

10-12 years ago sounds about right since I graduated college in 2000 and that was the last time I probably cared to notice.

All Blue Law surrounding alcohol sales were repealed in 2004, but packies are still only open 12-6 on Sundays, so if you're tailgating, you need to make sure to buy your booze for 1pm Pats games on Saturday....

Prior to 2004, towns within 10 miles of NH could open on Sunday, and all packies could open on Sundays between Thanksgiving and New Year's.

We certain have some crazy, quirky Puritan laws still on the books, that's for sure.......

IMO the laws in CT probably result in greater incidences of drunken driving. People who normally drink at home end up going to the bar.

They can stay open later than 6:00 on Sundays.

you can tell I don't spend much time at package stores, I thought that massachusetts just allowed sunday sales a couple of years ago. I don't remember any packies open on sunday untill recently. I guess I should get out more
