    Going up there today is there any good or decent bottle shops to look out for?

    Yes. You can find reviews in the Places Directory for State College.

    Or if you don't want to look there, Z-Bar and Zeno's are the go-to bars and The Hop Shop the only decent place for bottles, unless Wegmans has something amazing (which they very occasionally do)

    You may be gone, but for the more unusual stuff, try the hop shop. But be prepared to pay a premium and make sure to check bottle dates. Zeno's has great stuff too, but it is a lot smaller. It's basically a closet.

    Wegman's selection has been pretty off it's game lately.

    < It's basically a closet.>

    I remember it being a basement, did they move?

    I think he is referring to Zeno's bottle shop, located upstairs, (also directly above the canter of the earth). And it is the size of a large closet.

    Yup. It's right next to Chumley's. Though you can take any* bottle from Zeno's to go, they just charge you $2 less that the listed price.

    *Probably almost any. I imagine they want some stuff consumed on site, but I've never been told no. But it also helps that two employees are former roommates.

    Wow, in that case I'll be getting bottles from Zeno's more often.
