Excellent place for craft beer lovers. Here are the highlights:
1. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable about craft beer
2. There are about 20 taps that are always rotating. You can get growlers for most of them
3. Huge selection of craft beers. My guess is around 400-500 beers. Plenty of bombers are rare finds
4. Every Thursday night there is a craft brewery coming in and offering tastings. Not just local NY/NJ
brewers, but from all across the US. Firestone Walker, Bell’s, Stone.
Best place for craft brew fans in the Lower Hudson Valley in the NYC metro area. 08-19-2014

Great craft beer shop. Not only do they have rotating taps constantly featuring different craft beers, they’ve got bottles from all over the world for sale as well. It’s fun to mix and match 6-packs and try lots of new beers. A small bar menu, including some truly awesome bavarian pretzels! The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I wish I drank beer more often! They also host craft beer festivals. 06-30-2014

“Great beer selection on tap and in the ‘store.’ Friendly, helpful staff and an all-around cool place to hang out. The food is limited to some small plates, but is done well with quality ingredients. They have growlers on most of the taps at a reasonable price.”

“Went there for the first time today. It’s truly an innovative concept — part bar, part retail. Excellent selection of high-end microbrews, some that I’m seeing for the first time. The owners are very nice and helpful. Highly recommended.”

“Stopped in on a whim a few months back, and have to say WOW, what a find. The few items for snacks are EXCELLENT. And the beer tap selection is perfect — love the idea of walking up to the bar, sampling and asking the bartender what he suggests. Just a great feeling.”

“We went there last weekend for the first time for my husband’s 30th! They have great apps — cheese and meat trays, pretzels, pizzas, pulled pork sliders, and yummy things like that! Great place — helpful, friendly staff — that really LOVE what they do, which makes everyone else love it, too! I can’t say enough good things about this place!”
