[Futurepoop]

Headin out to Wantagh today. Any really good bottle shops I should check out?

 

[Futurepoop]

Or, for that matter, anywhere between NJ and Long Island (Wantagh) that is worth a stop along the way?

yeah and what the...? with KBS? thank goodness i saw shoreline's post and was able to nab 2 bottles this weekend (luckily was in the area). i had heard it would be a big quantity this year and 4 pack limits. i made a few calls and sounded like 1 bottle limits with excessively long lists. i guess no 4 pack for me this year. oh well...

damn LI beer scene is getting crazy competitive (and i thought it was bad a year ago).

 

[marshmeli]

Yeah, KBS seems pretty hard this year

Just getting ridiculous to get a bottle or two of KBS. I saw that Hicksville had it in stock today with a 1 bottle limit per person and it was all gone around 4:00ish. I did not get any so far and really do not care.

Just enjoy it on tap Evan in the city multiple time throughout the year if you can venture out. Hell, Glen Cove had it for growler fills not too long ago. What is the big deal about KBS bottles anyway? Peace.

 

[marshmeli]

Well with bottles it is certainly easier for Evan to show off his awesome glasswhale collection on instagram

2 kids makes hitting bars a bit of a challenge these days. i agree...kbs isn't a big deal, but i do enjoy it and like to sip a few bottles and hold a few. no big loss...i guess i shouldn't be surprised in the scarcity in these things anymore.

Yeah love that glass, got an extra

Would anyone be able to get me a growler fill of Citralization at Bayport Superstar Beverage? I won't be able to make it out there. I can do all sorts of fun things in return ie trading beer, etc.

Not sure why I didn't think of this...do they fill smaller than 2L and do they fill any breweries?

Are they bottling or just growler fills? How many beers do they have?

Bottles, they had 5 but expected to sell out today. They said they will have more ready in a few weeks

I am going to be in Bethpage on Sunday picking up a cake for my daughter's bday around 11:30, wanted to know if anyone is aware if Barrage opens right at the dot of 12 or will I have a chance to get a fill slightly before. I need to be home ASAP as we are having a party in the afternoon.

i would ping them on any of the various social media accounts that they use...i think there is an email or phone number out there. i remember writing the weekend of superbowl sunday to see if they'd be pouring on superbowl sunday and got a reply pretty quickly.
