    Does anyone know of any place in or near Chemung County that sells Westbrook beer? In Elmira/Horseheads/Corning, or as far as Ithaca? I had Two Claw at Hand and Foot in Corning, (the best craft beer bar in the area) and it blew me away. I've loved everything I've had from Westbrook so far, and I would very much like to pick some up for my fridge. I've already checked the Corning and Elmira Wegman's, and Lews Bros. Market and Grand Central Discount Beer in Horseheads. Zilch.

    Have you asked those retailers if they can get it? If they can, have you ordered it? Have you checked with the NYS distributor to find which retailers they supply in that area?
    No use driving around the region if the beer isn't carried by off-premise retailers or expecting to find it if those retailers aren't aware there's a demand for it.

    If you venture into Tioga County Jolly Farmer in Waverly gets Westbrook occasionally. Sign up for their newsletter to hear when.

    Finger Lakes Beverage Center in Ithaca seems to always have some on the shelves when I stop in, but as you'd expect that means you should check the canned dates too.

    I'm about a 30 minute drive from Waverly. That's doable.
    I've never been been to FLBC, but I'll check them next time I go to Ithaca. I've been meaning to check them out, anyway.

    FLBC has Westbrook, but as the other poster mentioned be sure to check dates. FLBC is certainly worth a trip out here. I love it, but they carry so much stuff that some things hang out on the shelves for a really long time.

    We also have Westbrook at Wegmans in Ithaca. I recall last year you were looking for Sunday Morning Stout and our Wegmans still has at least a case of it sitting out last I noticed a couple days ago.
    I think the Wegmans also has the Imperial Biscotti Mexican Cake, but at $15+ a bottle I've passed it by.

    The Wegmans and FLBC are about a minute drive from each other as well. So if you don't find what you're looking for at one place you'll get it at the other.

    Ithaca Coffee Company typically has Westbrook as well - they had cans of two claw sitting out last time i was there.

    Seconded FLBC - the guys that work behind the counter are really nice and knowledgeable. I dropped by last week and they have a whole rack of WB as well as several Finback, Gun Hill and Evil Twin beers.

    Yes, I was looking for SMS, but I was able to finally get some at Lewis Bros in Horseheads this year.
    I have been to the Ithaca Wegman's and Ithaca Beer Co. (Triphammer location) The selections are incredible. I'll definitely check out FLBC soon.

    Awesome! Two Claw is just the beer I'm looking for!
