The new management of Hudson Wine Merchants is not community-minded like its founders. Example:…read moreThey made their staff whine before the SLA to oppose a liquor license for a new shop which would have been located miles and miles outside of Hudson--claiming that it would cause too much competition for them. Absolutely ridiculous: HWM is a high-end niche business based on Warren Street's fancy clientele. A liquor store across from a gas station two towns away, selling Wild Turkey and Popov, was no threat to HWM. I was a regular when Michael and Marianne owned HWM, but I'll never spend another penny thete because of this petty behavior against a great Livingston family.

She didn't know any better, they knew it , and they took advantage of it. Anyone in Columbia County who does business with them is doing the rest of the local honest businesses who sell beer a disservice. The last thing we need is a local business like this. We are all better off without it.

I was excited by the prospect of a barebones beer shop in the area but I don't get the appeal. It's…read moreno bargain, with prices identical to Whole Foods and other supermarkets. I've noticed over the years that bottles are often nearing the expiry date (without any discount), and the staff doesn't seem to be especially knowledgeable. My family still stops in when we're low of beer and don't want to go out of our way to the supermarket, or to find Very Specific Beers that we're willing to pay a premium for, like the elusive Michelob Ultra Amber, which the low-carb dieters swear is the only low carb beer that tastes like beer.

Things Beer World Has…read more 1. Huge, wide aisles filled with an enormous selection of beer. Including: 2. More Belgians than anyone in Catskill has any business having. And... 3. Thirty racks of Natty Light. (They cover all the bases.) 4. A guy behind the counter who knows everything he has, and where it is. 5. A nice selection of beers on tap for growlers. 6. Me, passed out in a corner.* 7. A Beer Cave, kept gloriously cold for kegs and such. 8. A wall of glasses for the different beers available. And gift packs. 9. Bud Light Lime.** 10. A Make-Your-Own 6-pack area, featuring curious single beers. 11. It's own Redemption Center. Because recycling is good for the planet. 12. Mexican Coke. 13. Copious amounts of cigars, huge bags of loose tobacco, and more Swisher Sweets than should exist in the world. Essentially, Beer World has everything that any beer lover would ever really want, as well as a lot of other things besides. If you live in the area, and you like beer, you should probably get over here. ___________ *Subject to availability. **I don't care what you've heard, we didn't buy it, and nobody in my family drinks it so often that they refer to it as The BLL.

After looking at the menu, I decided on the Common Crossing Kolsch, a golden ale, with added cherry juice. It was really refreshing! Since the space is a former train station, it's really cool looking. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice spot with good beer. They also have outside seating!

It was a little crowded at times but they did a great job moving us all through the line and the food was delicious. I'm not in Hudson often but would definitely come back here if I was if only for the excellent selection of beers. I also liked that they had non-beer options which isn't always a given at a brewery.

Do you absolutely need to get drunk immediately?…read more You're in luck! The Wine Cellar has an enormous amount of ready-to-drink alcohol, in a shockingly wide variety of containers. They've got bags of mojito, buckets of margarita, jars of adult chocolate milk, trays of kamikaze test-tube shooters, alcoholic whipped cream and you can even get merlot in one of those Muscle Milk boxes. This last one is a combination of two of my favorite things: getting drunk and juice boxes. Can't be bad.* And if you'd like to drink like an adult, they also stock a ton of great booze. I'm betting that they've got what you're looking for, and if you have no idea what you're looking for, the staff will happily make recommendations. The prices seem fantastic to me, but then again, I'm used to NYC, which is stupidly expensive. All I know is that I can get one of my favorite bourbons here (Hudson's Four-Grain) for $37, when I can't find it in Brooklyn for less than $50. __________ *Actually, it probably can be.

I sometimes pop in en route to a party with various needs -- like "a good French red, but not mainstream, on the dry side, but not tart, for under $20" -- and he is always happy to help and has never steered me wrong. He's also helped special order me a rare whiskey for a great price; and with no pressure. I'd mentioned it in conversation, and he found it and had it in stock two weeks later. Amazing. It's not a bargain basement shop by any means, but it's jess pretentious than the shops right in Rhinebeck, and a lot more friendly than Sipperly's in Red Hook.
