Like the JR in Brielle, this is < 5 miles from home and I visit frequently. Surprisingly different selection from the Brielle store, this location if focused more on single bottles, 750s, more Belgies, and still has most of the good beer kept out of the cooler. Unfortunately, this store is very bright in the aisles; luckily, the staff there has no interest in keeping the bottles clean so most of them acquire a thick sheet of dust and grime which probably helps keep out nasty UV rays. I’ve found the beer to be in good shape most of the time
The lineup isn’t as full as the Brielle store in regards to east coast brews, but it’s not bad. Always a solid selection of whatever season’s seasonals are out, especially the festbiers, pumpkins, and summers.
Ratebeer shelftalkers are a nice touch. And they usually have at least a few beers worth picking up.
Again, only worth visiting if you’re stuck in the area and can’t get to Spirits in Red Bank. It’s the best around, but that’s not saying much.
Update: there seems to be a new beer sheriff in town, and he’s eager and excited to fill the shelves with a good selection. Here’s hoping! I bumped the score. |
