    Im going to visit some family at the Jersey Shore for Thanksgiving, specifically in the Toms River area. I would like some suggestions for 6packs around $10 and bombers around $5(give or take). Im mostly looking for local offerings or things I couldn't get in my own distribution area(North Carolina). I don't have any style restrictions, also if someone could suggest a good beer/liquor store in the Toms River area that would also be appreciated.

    Spirits Unlimited on Brick Blvd is def. a safe bet for what your looking for. They always have a nice selection of bottles and growler fills.

    The places directory gives pretty good coverage of Tom's River area,

    Web are you leaving? You can check Spirits in Point Pleasant for Kane and Carton growler fills (they've filled any growler). Or check to see if Kane will be open on the weekend. It's not a very far drive from TR.

    Have a good trip, bud.

    If at all possible, don't miss a trip to the Kane brewery in Ocean Township.

    Ditto on the Kane...There's a newer Spirits on 37 in Toms River that has a growler station and nice selection as well.

    Spirits Brick/Point Pleasant, and drive the extra 20 min north and go to Kane, like everyone else already said.

    No Captain Lawrence down this way yet. Kane does bottle and Spirits Brick still had Apirary on the shelves.

    Wow, didn't know that. Not that I've looked for it when I'm at my parents, but it's everywhere up north.

    Facebook my friend Facebook.

    When CL announced the release of Frost Monster the link to their tap room updates also said that they were looking into expanding into the rest of NJ in the near future.

    Kane always posts when new bottles become available at the brewery. They usually state whether it will be limited and tap room only or which stores will get some distribution.

    Facebook is like my 3rd beer site.

    Surprised no one said to go to Crossroad Spirits Unlimited in Toms River. That place is stocked with good beer. To the OP, there are some decent stores in the Toms River area, mainly the different Spirits Unlimited stores and Joe Canals. Some decent local stuff is Kane, Carton (started distributing Boat Beer in cans...this will be the only beer you can get from them, unless you don't mind filling some growlers from liquor stores), and Neshaminy Creek (just started bottling this year). Hope you make out good! Good luck!
