East Coast vs. West Coast

I think this shows that in the East it looks like most places have Liquor stores and most grocery/convenience store don’t do much more than BMC, though i’ll see Sam Adams. West coast seems to let more places carry things or the distribution works differently.

No alcohol besides mouthwash and Nyquil in grocery stores in NJ. Only liquor stores which are so-called despite selling liquor, beer, wine, and everything else alcoholic. Liquor stores are rarely open past 10PM, too, because liquor can’t be sold after that. Then you’re stuck with package goods stores which are basically beer and wine depots in some bars. But the prices at these are generally insane and the selection very limited. Moral: In NJ you’ve got to plan ahead if you want to drink good beer. And, unless it’s your first trip to the east coast and you’re traveling by boat, don’t bother coming to my store.
