Hey its the best game around east green bush......... not awesome but good and a helluva lot better than any grocery store..... as with probably most if us around here we probably know more about beer than the employees but at least they have some great beers.

Have been there twice. The 1st time was to check it out. Picked a 6 pack of Troegs Perpetual. not really any help from anyone, except for one stock boy following me around. He didn't say anything either. 2nd time I purchased a 6 pack of Smuttynose Finestkind. Same thing as before. No one said anything. Was going to buy some Victory Hop Devil till I noticed the best by date was January 2014. Selection of craft is small. Most likely wont be going back.

Wile not a massive selection, it is well thought out and there are always a reasonable number of bombers to try. No growler filling is the biggest downside but I am hopeful they will add soon as the area surely needs a filling station. They recently started carting Firestone beers and are getting reasonable quantities to keep me happy. Specials leave something to be desired, however, as craft beer never seems to be on sale or close out

Hey, if youre in the Albany area, on the East Greenbush side of the river and looking for a pretty good beer store Thruway Beverage has a great selection.
I have lived down the road of this place for years and this is the local establishment that I hit. The selection is great, of course they have the normal macro stuff but also have a fantastic selection of imports and micros.
They carry Sierra Nevada, Smuttynose, Anchor, Shipyard, Redhook, Fullers, Sam Smith, Magic Hat, Lake Placid Brewery, Victory, etc. They have the best selection around the area that I have seen.
Also if you are looking for something special they have been able to track it down for me. Prices seem to be in line with what I see other places as well. Just nice to know you can go somewhere that carries a wide variety and will go the extra distance to get something you want!
EDIT - Just based on a few of the other beverage centers I have hit over the past year I need to update this one... It use to be in the same town where I grew up and had not ventured out. Well things have changed a bit but it is still an excellent shop!
