Honestly a great selection of GOOD craft beer. If you know your stuff, this place should be able to satisfy your need.
That being said, unless I missed it, most of their craft beer is sitting on the shelf instead of in refrigeration. For some beers, especially IPAs, this can damage the quality. With lagers and such, you're probably fine.
Their pricing also seems to be hit or miss. I shouldn't be walking out with a $26 Other Half. That's tippy towing into EQ territory which isn't something you see from OH really.
3 stars for the great selection, but disappointed by the lack of refrigeration for their VAST selection of craft. On their website it says they just received in 11 different Other Half brews. It's bonkers to me that they wouldn't refrigerate it.
Again, if I'm wrong and simply missed a huge area of refrigerated craft, please correct me. This was my first time here!
I'll be back, but idk if I'd pick up a beer I REALLY want unless I knew it came in that day. I picked up an Other Half that was canned in late June as a gift for a friend and am nervous the quality might be compromised....
Read moreThe selection here is so awesome that it is almost overwhelming. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, I always end up finding something new to try with the help of their recommendations. Between the selection of local beers, domestic, imported, non-alcoholic and seltzers I always end up buying way more than what I probably should (they even have snacks and lottery tickets). If you come here, be prepared to see a bigger selection, get better service and have knowledgeable staff help you find new things, which in the end will probably make you spend a little more than you originally had planned. I have a feeling that this awesome selection and knowledgeable staff is being installed on purpose, so that I end up buying more and trying new things. Can't wait to go there again, since I already now have two new favorite beers that they recommended I try!
So when you go, and you end up trying something new, and that ends up being your new favorite beer and you spend a little more than you should... just remember that I tried...
Read morePut it to you this way, I drive about 75 miles once or twice a month, one way from Jersey to buy cases of beer here. I'm an old school German beer fan who has spent a couple years in Germany (back when it was still East and West Germany) where I got to taste some of the best brews on the planet! Bound's carries a number of German brews, including some that I've seen nowhere else on the east coast! And, if you're not a fan of German beers, no sweat! Bound's carries rows of other imported and domestic brews! I liken it to a great candy store for adults!!
IMO, this is the best beer store for miles around. And I'll continue to go that roughly 150 mile round tripper to see what they've got, and fill up the trunk with some...
