The guys inside are gruff indeed, but that's almost what I hope for in this industrial corner of Greenpoint. Just don't expect any smiles and bring your paperwork to avoid confusion. But the guys will help you carry stuff to your car (especially if you're a tiny little lady). The beer warehouse is large and well-stocked- would have loved to browse if I didn't have a kegger to throw. Full Lagunitas keg was $180 plus $5.99 rental fee for the bucket and tap, plus they have big things of ice (10 normal bags) for $9.99 and sleeves of cups (sadly clear, not the red ones I grew up drinking out of) for like $3.99. Oh, then we bought a 30 of Natural Light for the weenies. Total price of keg party: $236.64. Rooftop fun on a Thursday: Priceless.

I bought a 22 oz Miller High Life. Not an exceptional beer, granted, but it will give you what you want after a bit of a sweat. UNLESS, it is stale. I took two sips I could not continue. I gave it to a homeless alcoholic outside my building. He spat it out and cursed me out. How long has this can been in inventory? Tasted like years. It's not wine. beer gets profoundly worse with age. Kissena Bev is not air conditioned. That beer outside the cold case is being degraded sitting in the heat. No excuse for selling STALE beer, poor knowledge of their product and lack of proper handling. None.

Ok this is my second review of the place and is still the same. Some decent wines. Though it does…read morepiss me off when I see Prosecco under champagne. Their reds (wine) are definitely a better selection than their white. Though they do have some decent Chablis. Their white are ok...lots of new world pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Lots of Sauvignon Blanc but from the new world such as New Zealand. They have very little Sancerre (Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley). An ok selection of Riesling, most of it is sweet but Riesling can also be bone dry and I didn't see any of that. No Chenin Blanc either. When it comes to dessert wines, they have sweet Moscato but not really anything from a producer to brag about. They have only really expensive Port or really cheap Tawny Port. I wish and I mean WISH they would carry some Sauternes (dessert wine only made in france). They have 2 Passito wine (sweet wine from Italy) One was good Donnafugata Ben Rye which was out of my price range and the other was a Trebbiano based Vin Santo (which is also good though not as good as the other one.) I really need to talk about the service here. I REALLY REALLY REALLY think they don't know what they have. I bought a DOC Sicilian Carricante which I was expecting to pay a bit for but they only charged me 6.99 for that bottle which confused me and I double checked to make sure I picked the right one. I mean it's great that I got a good steal but that bottle should have costed me (and goes retail) for around 35-40 dollars. I know you're thinking why I'm complaining but it would be nice with a better selection and if they knew what they had but HEY if you wanna sell me 40$ bottle for 7 bucks. I'm all for it. They should learn at least basic wine terms. I did happen to buy a beautiful châteauneuf-du-pape though, and the price was right. But Please Please Please get in some Sauternes. I'm not asking for a Chateau D'Yquem (since I can't afford it anyway) but a decent well fair priced one would do just fine. That's all I'm going to say.

Right before the 4th of July weekend I ran in there to buy a bottle of d'usse cognac which they…read morekeep right up front by the register. Me being friendly I say something to the man behind the counter like "hey, how's it going?" or something close to that. He barely glimpses at me. Ok, no biggie... I grab my bottle in like two seconds. He scans it. I enter my card & pay. I say "thanks a lot man. Take care, have a good one..." again something along those lines. Nothing. No thank you. Not a blink. Nothing. Now I understand life can be less then great. Especially now with the world the way it's been the past year, but when you run a business & someone is spending their hard earned money in your establishment a little bit of common curiosity can go a long way. I mean at least say you're welcome. I highly doubt I'll ever shop there again.

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!
