This facility has pretty much everything that you can imagine as far as a beverage center. They…read morehave IPA and light IPA, they have you are more full body beers, and also light beers as well. They also sell wine coolers of all different types of varieties. They really have just about something for everybody in here even selling kegs, some you may have to order ahead of time. I am not much of a drinker but I do on occasion enjoy a good full-bodied beer or a nice glass of wine. If you would like to try to find a place that has just about everything this would be the place to go for your beverage needs. Please remember though to drink responsibly. Never drink and drive. Thanks so much for listening!

I've been looking for a good spot to get craft beer in the Troy area for a while. I love a good…read morestout, but most places that sell beer don't have many stouts available. I decided to check out Troy Beverage Center, and fell in love. They have a very wide variety of different beers. I've gone back multiple times to try different ones, and I plan on keep going back! The only problem with this place is the lack of organization, making it very tough to find things if you have something particular in mind, and it's also very dusty, which makes me wonder how often they rotate beers out. Other than that, this is a great spot to pick up some specialty stouts, IPAs, or whatever you might be looking for if you're in the Troy area!

Guys, this place is like beer heaven. Actually it IS beer heaven, nestled in the oddest spot that…read moreyou would could picture heaven to be nestled. Lots of stuff for the avid beer fan or the "I need a case of beer quick BROTHER!"-guy. Lots of the craft stuff is in the fridge too, which is awesome because then you can drink it like, right away. Growler taps are now open (they said they've been up and running for a week so far). They cool the growler containers for you before they fill them up because they are sweet people just trying to get you a decent frosty buzz going. Lots and lots of choice of beer and something else I really appreciated, MIXERS. Lots of tonic and seltzer flavors to keep you satisfied. I think I even peeped a Cucumber Melon flavor. Go here, get your beer, drink your beer and come back again. At least, that's what I'm planning on doing.

During my short visit I was approached by three sales people, two very friendly, welcoming, and anxious to answer any questions. I was primarily interested in French and Northwestern wines. Not a huge selection but some very interesting and fine selections, several of which I haven't seen elsewhere in the Capital Region. I walked out with seven bottles. While I didn't expect this, I received a half case discount. Not inexpensive, but seemed quite fair for the area. I am looking forward to a return visit.

After that I wrote the owners an email and I never heard from them .Not an apology was issue not even a reply .I can't help but to think This was somewhat racially profiled but I can't make that judgement only god can I just know I will never set foot in that establishment again .

Isn't it worth a few pennies to get something exceptional? Ever hear of Angel's Envy? Staff knows that I like new and different things so when it was noticed I was buying a small batch rye, Angel's Envy came up. I eventually bought a bottle and couldn't be happier. And if you like single malt whisky, you won't be able to find a wider selection in one store, except maybe a place or two in Scotland. I also like to go in and ask for a wine recommendation. I might think I know what I want, but they are always able to steer me to a bottle in the right price range that pairs perfectly with how I plan to drink it and is usually something I wasn't thinking of or knew was available.

The prices are higher on the same items they haven't sold through from the previous owners. Just after the store changed hands, I ordered some bottles online. When I got to the store, the price was higher. They honored it and then took the item down from the website. It's now just a generic liquor store that sells some decent things at an elevated price. Don't expect any help close to what you'd get from the former crew.

What a hidden gem! I had no idea Empire Too even existed until I saw a post on the 518 vegan page…read more I was excited to see they carry a variety of Rebel Cheeses, a plant-based artisan cheese company which is a woman owned and veteran owned business I am proud to support! Aside from the dairy free cheese selections, they have a large selection of meats and cheeses. The store walls are lined with local NY State products from small businesses, snacks, sauces, pasta, cocktail mixes, hard to find ingredients, glassware, gift sets, and bar supplies. If you spent an hour walking around inside you would still struggle to see all the products available. They have a ton of holiday gift ideas that would be great anytime now through New Years or throughout the year. Yes, you can see in the photos, they have a very large selection of non-alcoholic alcohols like Tequilla, Gina, Rum, Vodka, etc... as well as N/A beer and mocktails. Also they carry CBD and THC beverages. The prices are great! Definitely check this place out, don't wait, go now! Special holiday hours are posted in my photos.

To me, there's something special about a visit to Yankee Distillers. There's a sense of "We know…read morewhat we want to do, and we're gonna do it!" here that I haven't gotten from many other distilleries. Being off the beaten path, it's not someplace that will get a lot of casual drive by's - they get the people who want to come here. I wasn't sure what would be of interest to me here. After the tastings, I was very pleasantly surprised to find it would be their vodka! I'm not normally a vodka person, but there is a very short list of distilleries that make a vodka I can actually sip, and I just added their Eleven Lakes Vodka to that list, most likely right at the top. Finishing a very close second was their Rye. By the way, the ingredients for these come 100% from New York State. And with so many distilleries in NY shortening their aging, I appreciated that all their whiskies age a minimum of 6.5 years. The people here definitely love their craft and appreciate conversation with folk who have an understanding of distilling. If, of course, you can make it past the very effective guard dogs, Basil and Barley - though it's not so much they're protecting the place, just making sure they get their much deserved attention from you before, during, and after, your drinks. There's almost always something new going on here; when we arrived today's list had just been freshly laminated. Visit often.

This review will be short and sweet…read more The Yankee Distillery is making their own booze on site and serving it at a simple bar as soon as you walk in. They are going the extra mile by making authentic mixers made with real ingredients. Take one look at the container of bloody mary mix on the bar and you will see what I mean. I ordered the Manhattan and it was fabulous. Every sip was perfection. The owner is a very warm and happy fella who clearly loves his business. The other draw at Yankee is the team of pugs that meet you on arrival. They look like loaves of bread with smooshy faces connected. One will sit on your lap with out any coaxing! This is a happy place serving happy things. The bottles of booze are a bit pricey but the drinks are reasonable. Definitely get out and enjoy one soon!
