I have been wanting to try their beers, but unfortunately, I have not seen Modern Times in NYC. I have access to a lot of California brewed beers here in NYC, and upstate NY, however, I've never seen Modern Times. Anyone been lucky in NY? Or even CT, VT, NJ??
MT doesn't distribute outside CA. Check www.seekabrew.com for distro networks. You can try Inside the Cellar, which often has some Modern Times beers. But it doesn't ship to NYC, so you're probably out of luck there too unless you can ship it to a friend in a state that takes delivery and pick it up there.
Is this specific to NY City? They do list NY as a state they ship to on their website. InsidetheCellar ships to the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, GA, FL, ID, IA, IN, LA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MT, NE, NV, NY, NM, NC, ND, OH, OR, RI, SC, TN, TX VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.
Good to know - I should have checked this again before commenting. I swear when I checked rather recently that they didn't ship here, but maybe they do now? Or maybe I was just mistaken. In any case, they frequently have the standard Modern Times cans (Blazing World, Black House, etc.) as well as some of the one-off offerings (Mega Black House, City of the Dead, etc.), so if it ships here and you want some Modern Times, give it a whirl. If you order 12 items you get free shipping.
Definitely good advice, but not everyone wants to go through the hassle of trading, so ordering online is a good option too. And the prices aren't that bad if you order enough to get free shipping.
