I could have easily written this review in 2024, but let's start off the new year with a beery bang…read moreby saying how Great Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage truly is. I've been to this local beer spot many times now and I always walk out happy (and hoppy...bad joke). Enter into LRB and you'll find your standard run-of-the-mill beverage store, though I'll give them some credit because their space is clean, well-lit/heated, and nicely-sized with items more spread out making things easy to find. You'll notice plenty of non-alcoholic options as well, but the real winners come from the brews you can choose. Heading towards the back, you'll usually find a decently-sized area of seasonal selections. I have a pic on here from their October beer setup which was fantastic in choices. They even carried a gluten free pumpkin beer that my friend enjoys which is great for those that can't partake in the normal gluten-filled brewskies. Once at/in the refrigerated area is where you'll really find the gems of LR Bev. To the right, they have plenty of your basic beer options cold and ready to go, but to the left, there is a full wall of local and highly touted brewery selections. This includes beers from Sand City, DUBCo, Evil Twin, Other Half, Abomination, and even some Tree House can be spotted here (if you're lucky to catch it). This variety is outstanding and shows that LRB knows what the craft beer scene is all about. Lastly, I just want to mention that the staff at Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage always seem polite and friendly. You can get a mixed bag of people depending on the beverage store you go to, but here I consistently feel welcomed. Bonus is their bottle return is pretty generous in that they tend to take almost any bottle/can of beer. Gotta love that so you can get that little bit of change back in your pocket...before using it to buy more beer, of course. Overall, Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage is the real deal for beer, at least in this area. There's nothing crazy going on here in space, but there is a decent size with plenty of good brews to choose (exotic and not) along with some friendly folks behind the counter. I'm glad to start off 2025 with reviewing this beverage spot and the five stars I'll happily hand out to them. Cheers!

The only white wine I'll ever drink is called Brotherhood which is kinda hard to find and they always have it. There's a good selection of red wines for less than $20 which is awesome for me! They have tons of other liquors like whiskey, tequila and vodka. They don't have a lot of mixes for mixed drinks but in the back they do have pre-made Jose Cuervo margaritas which makes me super excited! The owner is very nice and sweet. It's located in a strip with CVS, Thai food (Phayathai), crazy crepe, and a smoke shop. There is ample parking. The area is pretty safe too if that was ever a concern. So you can grab some wine, get some Thai food, and get some ice cream from CVS or dessert from crazy crepe! It's your one stop shop for an amazing night!

Best and funniest things just happened on the eve of my birthday. Give me a long Irene minute and…read moreyou can laugh at me. I pop into my favorite liquor store on the way home from Stop & Shop. (It's the place on Portion Rd across from the Farmingville Fire Dept. Near Cancos Tiles and Dunkin Donuts. You'll need to visit.) The owner makes me laugh when he explains why the door alarm is so loud. (If he's fallen asleep it will 100% wake him.) After admitting I purchased pre-made eggnog he was quick to find an appropriate bottle of cognac. (He was visibly horrified. Note that he carries a pre-made version on site. But one should really mix their own at home.) It might very well be a bottle of brandy in the kitchen. Something I nodded to while dreaming of tomorrow. There's a beef braciole I'm eager to try in the kitchen. My request for a Chianti was met with a solemn look. "But that's too dry. You never drink anything like that." He knows me well. I explain there will likely be some hard cheeses prior to the meal. (Which, yes, I already bought.) If my growing Buddha belly is correct, there will be a damning accompanying side of pasta (And bread. WITH BUTTER.). Shh. With a finger to his temple he briskly walks around the counter. And there he pauses, gently gesturing to a bottle of Anno Domini Cabernet Sauvignon. "This will be perfect. And I'm selling it at a reasonable price." Mind you, we never discuss price points when I visit. The joint is appropriately named "Best Price Wine & Liquors" for good cause. Unless I specify, "This is a gift, let's spend more." purchases are reasonable for daily (shut up, don't judge me) consumption. (No Mom, I'm not drinking that often. But if I win the Mega Millions all bets are off.) I'm sold and say, "Great! Can't wait to try it." As we're about to ring me up I mention how odd a mid-week birthday is. But that I had decided a nice glass - or two - of red wine was necessary to properly celebrate officially aging. Screech! All things stop. "It's your birthday tomorrow?!" I nod. "This is on me. Please accept it." Well hello sir! That is quite honestly the best surprise birthday gift to date. It was just so unexpected. There's no need for me to scrounge for a coupon to maybe get a free appetizer. This was easy. I'm stunned by the experience and can't quite express how happy the exchange has made me. Right, so I drive home. I unload the seventeen bags of rocks purchased at Stop & Shop. (Things like seltzer, ginger ale, and so on.) I'm finally ready to relax when I remember the eggnog. I mix some over ice and plop myself onto a stool. Yeah, that stool is older than I am and made of leather. As I sit one of the corners explodes under my weight. I'm still holding the rather large (shut up) glass of eggnog and determined to not spill. Onto the computer. Onto the carpet. Onto the keyboard. Oh, and heck my phone. With the grace of someone other than me, I do not spill. Anywhere. Somehow I didn't end up on the floor. Nor did I bruise my elbow on nearby furniture. Or break some random bone. Or miraculously knock the bottle of wine over. Wooot! [edit] What I failed to mention in this story is how many damn calories eggnog contains. I couldn't believe it when I read the label. So perhaps this was a warning. Am I listening? Uh, no. LOCAL LONG ISLAND TIP: Wine tastings are every Friday from 4pm to 7pm. Holler if you're ever interested in joining me. I have a new favorite thing to do at that time. :)
