Hey All -

Can anyone recommend a good beer shop in NYC ? The only beer place I know of is New Beer Wholesaler on Chrystie Street.

Anyhow, I'm not a beer drinker myself but what is a GOOD beer that I can pick up that is not normally found in the local supermarket. My contractor that's been working for me is working overtime for me as a favor and I want to swing by the house (current one buing built) one Friday and BBQ some food & Beer for the crew !

thanks, john

I'll second the Happy Deli. Not necessarily over Boonts amber, which I find kind of "meh", but because, here you are, next door to Times Square, at some run of the mill looking bodega with skater kids and Japanese tourists coming in off the street, and you can buy any variety of beer from Bud tallboys to Synebrychoff to Westvleteren to Stone Vertical 03.03.03. All at premium prices, but somehow worth it.
