Between the border & the Galleria you’ve got the Niagara Falls Consumers:
http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/new-york/niagara-falls/consumer
%E2%80%99s-beverages/8145.htm
You should also go 15 or so minutes out of your way & stop @ Premier (Buffalo’s best bottle shop):http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/new-york/buffalo/premier-gourme
t/443.htm
The most efficient route would probably be
bridge -> Consumers -> Premier -> Galleria.
Enjoy!

Glad I could help 
If it helps you in your shopping, Consumers is typically slightly less expensive than Premier but Premier has a much greater selection. If you see something you like at Consumers don’t say "I’ll buy it when I get to Premier", as you may end up spending another buck or two for a 750.
At the same time, everything at Premier is available in single bottles, where Consumers only sells small bottle singles of more expensive stuff (Dogfish WWS, De Dolle, etc)
Enjoy your trip!

Also,http://www.consumerbeverages.com/brew/whatsontap.html?store=7
has a list of what is available for growler fills at the Niagara Falls Consumers. Nothing super exciting right now, but they have a keg of Ithaca 10 on deck. 
And finally (can you tell I don’t want to go to work?) when you get to Premier you want to go into the food store, not the liquor store. If you see wine & hard liquor you’ve gone in the wrong door. NY State law prohibits stores from selling both wine/liquor and beer. So technically there are two different businesses at the same location.

I agree with everything Rudy said.
Bridge -> Niagara Falls Consumer’s -> Premier -> Galleria
Bombers, 750s, and some random Belgians are sold in singles at Consumer’s and Premier sells singles of everything, although they’re a bit more expensive.
