    Specifically in the Albany, Saratoga, Glens Falls area. I know of Olivers in Albany. There used to be a specialty shop in a strip mall in Queensbury, but I don't think it's there anymore. Visiting Common Roots might be my only other option. Anything else worth checking out?? Thanks!

    This place has a small but good quality selection of beer available retail. Also great stuff on tap and great food.

    Westmere Beverage (sister store to Olivers) is the best beer store you'll ever find. The shop in Queensbury was/is likely Minogues or Anchor Bev, both of which stink. Avoid.

    There is EBI in Toga which is the best store in the area besides Westmere/Olivers. Great selection, great prices, good staff. Highly recommend that.

    Also like a mile down the road from there is Whitman brewing which is fantastic -- and they will sell you a lot of their stuff by single can for $4-5 pop. Definitely go there too.

    Westmere is probably the best bottle shop in that area. Tagging @IGaveYouPower for good measure.
