Best beers from NY

If you are still considering sending beer from New York that his sister can get I recommend disregarding someone's suggestion of Kuka. I have had three of their beers, which after consuming I immediately not only wanted a refund but considered suing for damages.

As for which to send I would recommend Rushing Duck, which is in Orange County. A growler of Baby Elephant and another of Divided by Zero will put a smile on anyone's face for sure.
