Bark’s Beer Cave

It is a gas station/minimart, BUT it has ~10 taps and 200+ bottles. It does have the usual beers, but also many great crafts - local, national and international. I presume most of the attendants know little about the beers, but the guy there when I went in was very knowledgeable and helpful. A great place for Plattsburgh.

bonne cave

Dépanneur de station-service où l’ambiance et le service sont typique de ce genre d’endroit. Le choix de bières est intéressant mais limité, peu de choix à l’unité. Par contre, il y a une station de remplissage de growlers. Les prix sont dans la moyenne.

Good everyday selection at 15 minutes from the border and less pricy then Burlington. It’s a good alternative.

Very convenient for Québécois or Canadians looking for good U.S. beers not very far from the border. If you love hiking the Adirondacks, it’s a good idea to bring back some American beers on your way back. Very good selection for a gas station / convenience store. Don’t expect knowledgeable service, but if you know what you’re looking for, they have a pretty wide range of of major American craft beers.

Very good selection for a gas station. Does not look like it but the fridges are full of good Stone’s, DOgfish, Smuttynose, Unibroue, begium selections and I pass. Very pleasant surprise just 1 km away from the 87!!!

A very good selection for the region. Some uncommon/rare stuff and a lot of popular but very good beers. I was there on may 29th (last week) and there was around 100 different beers. The service was OK, but the guy who was there when I was there didn’t knew much about these beers. But he was very kind and showed me the "specials" beers that were in stock. Since it’s not a real beer store, you can’t expect to have hundreds of beers but it’s really worth the "detour"... And you can fill your car with gas too: basically, it’s a Gas Station! WiFi is available, it’s nice to find ratings on RateBeer.

This new beer location is located at the Shell station just off the southbound interstate exit 36. At first glance, it appears to be your regular gas station and mini-mart, but this has a nice walk in cooler with a decent lineup of micros. They had some DFH, Ommegang, Delerium, Oskar Blues, Sourthern Tier, Lagunitas, Racer 5, Goose Island, and a few other New England micros as well. They also have some decent beer located in the traditional door coolers where many place like to keep the macro swill. The girl at the register was friendly enough, and even offered to help bring the beer out to my truck for me. All in all, it’s really awesome to find a decent place like this in the beer wasteland that is Plattsburgh. Hopefully their business does well and they can expand their selection in the future.
