They have kegs as well and they take big orders if you're having a party & want to be stocked & ready to go. In the winter they also sell salt for the snow & ice, it's a place I choose to purchase that from because it's usually always in stock during the season.

The staff is super friendly and they treat you right with help to your car or box for all your stuff. If your like me you might ven grab a bag of pork rinds or plantain chips that are hanging by the front too. They have everything from your standard beers, to lots of ciders and of course the crafts that feature a lot of local NYS beers too. Love supporting other businesses in the state!

As luck would have it, I was in the area and decided casually to see if there were any good beer…read morespots. Universal wasn't too far, and Yelp informed me of the amazing craft beer selection. When I pulled up, I have to admit, I felt i must have been punked. The outside looks just like any liquor and beer store. And even the first few aisles are pretty standard. But head to the back, and you'll find an amazing array of local and just damn good craft beers. I wish more of the hoppy ones could be consistently cold, but that would be challenging given the supply. (Most of these breweries print a canned date on them, so be sure to check.) I've never seen so much Other Half besides at the brewery itself, and they even had a 4-pack of a semi-obscure brewery in the central Connecticut that I adore. Can't wait for another excuse to come by.

You wanna carry their flag and say: DOWN WITH THE MAN! Yeah.. here's the catch. When I go to a large distributor like Total Wine, I enjoy seeing all the different imported and craft beers. Total Wine is big, clean and well organized. What they don't sell are a few craft "Long Island" beers. Let me explain. I can go to Total Wine and get a six pack of Montauk Brewing Company Summer Ale cheaper than at the actual brewery. Crazy right? And that is the problem. They local folks are saying the big box stores (The Man in other words) are forcing them to sell their beer at a low price so the man can make money. Listen, I don't know the economics, I wanna drink craft beer! One of the Local to Locals spots is Westbury Beverage Center. Westbury Beverage Center is loaded with craft beer! You want some funky IPA? They have it, Westbury Beverage Center has an arsenal of beer for your perusal. I've been hearing a buzz about the Milkshake IPA. I hate IPA beer but trust me, after one sip it is the real deal. What's not the real deal? A 4 pack is $17 bucks. Expensive? HELL YES! Are the locals making money? I sure hope so, this was an expensive ass can of beer and by the way it's not being sold at the bigger beer places. Will I be back? I want to try the other IPA flavor so yes, take my money locals. Down with the man...

Excellent assortment of beers + terrific service + great hours = Country Wide Beverage…read more Soon after moving into the area, I found the need to stock my fridge with an assortment of beers, both for myself and for guests who might come and visit. A quick trip down Merrick Road took me to Country Wide Beverage in Valley Stream. Noticing the size of the place, I decided to journey in. Although the parking lot can only accommodate up to 4 cars (or perhaps 12 bikes), it's well worth the effort to come here. First of all, hours here are terrific! On weekdays, they're open as late as 9pm (and open as early as 8:30am). Compared to other beverage barns in the area, that's not bad at all! Second of all, the service is great! Especially with nobody in the store, the owner came over and asked if I needed any help finding what I needed. In mentioning I wanted to try a good stout, he showed me a few options and asked what my preferences would be for stouts. After showing me a few choices, he ended up taking me over to a part of the store that served Ommegang. Knowing a few friends, including Josh G., who visited this brewery in Cooperstown and has great things to say, I decided to give it a shot (and was very impressed that they offered that brand). The staff is very friendly, personable and upbeat. They're great! Finally, the beer selection here is immense! Looking for a good national staple (Bud, Corona, Guinness, Stella, Heineken)? They've got you covered. Want something closer to home like Brooklyn Brewery or Ommegang? No problem. Looking for a good German beer? They've got Dunkel and more! How about a nice ale from the U.K.? You can find Wells (including Banana Bread ale, one of my favorites) and more. I'm really just scratching the surface here. The options are immense! Prices here are not all that shabby either, very similar to what you might find at other beverage barns. Between the service, hours and beer selection here, there's no reason to pass up this venue. You certainly must visit given the opportunity!
