4.5 stars for the beer distributor!!! I remember coming here as a kid and getting ice and my dad getting beers and sodas for family BBQs. I remember always being really cold in here too when I was a kid. Well. time’s a changing and I like some beer! I did find out though that they sell my beer! Yes. They sell my beer!!! The hunt is over! They sell the Lindeman’s Framboise! Oh my yes. This is DEE-liscious. Probably thee best beer… EVER! The other cool thing is they have a ton and I mean a ton of beer to appeal to anyone’s taste buds. They also have at least 15 – 20 taps with all local beers(including I think Spider Bite, Blue Point, Long Ireland, & Blind Bat). Pretty damn cool if you ask me. I’m almost certain they have hard to find and craft beers. Along with your usual Bud Lights & Coronas. Most of the guys I’ve dealt with are pretty friendly. There’s always one guy in there behind the counter always asking me if I’m picking up more of my Framboise beer. So it’s nice and friendly and less intimidating when you’re the minority in the beer distributor. Yes guys you are the majority. We females I think are the minority. Would I recommend this beer distributor?! Hell yes. So come here and get some beers! Just don’t drink all the Lindeman’s Framboise cause I need some more!

Great selection of beers from craft to mainstream brews. Great tap system and staff. Looking for a beer they usually got it or can lead you in the right direction. Good selection of long island brews as well@!!!

Somewhere it is time for beer. And sometime you will want beer. And if you are in Long Island this is the place to go and buy beer. I’ve driven past this beer distributor forever and not popped in. And for that I am a complete idiot. They offer a mind boggling array of beer. Invest in a growler as the menu options are oh so tantalizing. Prices are low but the smarts are with the tall guy. So wear wedges if you’re short.(Seriously, he’s that tall.) I was given a guided tour of porters. Tall guy was incredibly apologetic that the current supply was in short demand as it was summer. I had to stop him mid tour as we were on beer #5. BEERNUMBERFIVE. This place keeps a deep supply of beer. I was in hog heaven. I simply cannot wait to go back.

This place has become my «go to» beer distributer. I drive 10 minutes out of my way to go here, past the beer distributer around the corner from my house in Holbrook(who have about the same selection as the local supermarket). Selection is great whether you’re looking for a six pack or a growler, they have a wide variety of beer. It’s very rare that they don’t have what I’m looking for. The guys that work there are friendly and very helpful whether you need help finding something or if you want a recommendation on what’s new and good.

Good selection, incredibly expensive. I paid $ 29 and change for a 6pack of Jai Alai and a 6pack of Flower Power. $ 25 or so is more realistic.

I’m really glad to have a place like this within ten minutes of my home. Friendly staff, great selection, decent prices. It doesn’t look too interesting from the outside but I always find some new type of beer to try every time i go. We should support local specialty stores like this.

I really enjoy this beer distributor. Been coming here for years it is the gas station next to Little Vincents. The place is tremendous and there are all these nooks where you feel as if you are discovering rare beers. True sometimes you discover something that is older than dirt and tastes it. The counter people are very nice and now their growler bar is unmatched. They have very good prices. They also often have specials where you get a free glass or something. Make sure you walk into the fridge because they have some stuff in there like mini kegs of German lagers.

This is the place to go for beer if you are anywhere near the area. Bring your empty 32 or 64oz. empty growlers and you have a large list of local beer to choose from for fresh craft beer.(I recommend any Spider Bite brews). Prices are fair and downright cheap for NY! :) Friendly staff and will allow you to sample before having that growler filled. Don’t judge this book by its cover. A great store with excellent selection, friendly service and solid pricing. I make it a point to stop every time I am in the area.

«Wonderful, Friendly staff.» A very large selection of beers many local beers are on tap for growlers. The staff is very personable and very friendly except for the son Big John who coul be a bit snarky at times LoL, just kidding =0) great prices and if you need fuel for car they have 2 pumps. They also rent U Haul trucks. I visit the establishment a few times a week because the staff is so Friendly it helps me recharge my batteries especially after a long day of work. one word to describe the the Lake Ronkonkoma Beverage Experience«AweSome» InDeed Prayers and Blessings jimi with an i

Huge selection of beers, reasonable prices and super friendly staff. This is the ONLY place I go for beer. They also have various brews on tap and they host tastings. And if they don’t have what you’re looming for, they have no problem ordering it for you.

Great selection and low prices make this my Friday go-to stop on the way home from work. They are located conveniently within minutes of the LIE in Ronkonkoma, right next door to Little Vincent’s(Best Pizza on the Island). The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They love to talk beer, especially craft beer, both foreign and local. Look for the tall guy, he knows his stuff. The new 21 tap system is ridiculous! It hosts all of the top local beers from Long Island. Feel free to taste a few and then fill a growler for a reasonable price.

THEBESTBEERSTOREONLONGISLAND! Just recently installed a growler system with a 21BEERSONTAP — ALLLONGISLANDMICROBREWS! HUGE selection of micro-brews which is just outstanding. Amazing selection of European classics, monk beers, hoppy beers — you name it, they got it! Also, if they don’t have a certain beer, they will try to order it for you. Very affordable prices. They stay up to date with seasonal beers which is really cool. Then they offer leftover seasonal beers at a discount when they’re off-season. Also there’s a huge walk-in refrigerated room which is great for picking out cold ones. Go there and check out the new exclusive beers from SPIDERBITE

Great selection of micro-brews. The fact that they have a whole section dedicated to pumpkin ale makes it worthwhile.
