    Some yes, some no. Other Half cans don't usually get distributed. On the other hand, that latest Greenpoint release may still be around. And if not there, then Bread and Honey right down 8th Ave may have some. Keep an eye on Beermenus as the day approaches for more exact info.

    I was there on Tuesday and they still had quite a few Grimm bottles and cans.

    Thanks for the advice everyone. Got a good mix from a few places.

    Made it to Threes, Clinton Gourmet, and Carmine Street- where the dude sold us the last Grimm Afterimage can. Even managed to make it to Other Half late in the day and score some cans of Raining Threes.

    A fruitful weekend. Thanks again BAs!

    I was in this area yesterday/today and picked up some nice local stuff at Clinton Gourmet this morning. Friendly and helpful place.

    This is my local go-to spot, and it's great. My only gripe is that it's a little more expensive than comparable places, usually about a buck more per can, but I'm sure their rent is insane so I really can't fault them.

    They also don't have as much space as some other places so their selection is a little more limited, but curated very well, and the staff is great.


    For the same neighborhood, Gebhard's Beer Culture on 72nd street also has a solid selection of cans/bottles to go, and has more of a full bar/restaurant as well.

    I found a new place on my Holiday Trip this year. City Hops on 2nd ave UES. John the manager is a great guy. I shared some FL beers and he opened some beers for me. Great place.

    City Hops is definitely a good bet. If you want to eat in the area, The Jeffery is right around the corner, and always has great stuff on tap.

    Love the store, and I visit weekly because I work close by, but every time I buy anything there, I find it cheaper elsewhere within a day, sometimes by up to $10. For that reason, I can't reccomend it.

    City Hops is really solid. It’s my go to when at my in-laws UES place. The only weird thing I’ve come across a couple of times has been with limits. Twice I’ve went to go and buy two of something and was told there’s a one per person limit. Was strange because they’ve been on the shelf, with no sign, and we’re not talking like anything super rare/coveted. I’m blanking on one of the beers, but the other was one of the stock Interboro offerings. Maybe mad fat. Actually I think in that case maybe I went to grab a 4 pack and was told only 2. Either way was weird because there were stacks of them. I was looking round the room like “calm down everyone I’m not a hoarder”
