The Stop and Shop in Ossining isn't doing it for us. Where's a good place to go? We'll be going down to Queens so anything further south on the way would work too. Thanks! Fri Oct 02 18:47:13 -0700 2009 28696 i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream 1 5075823 Whole Foods in WP has a good selection. Fri Oct 02 21:26:13 -0700 2009 5075642 10178 Elisa515 2 5076008 Thanks! I looked on Beer Advocate, which is a pretty neat website, and they suggested, among others, Whole Foods and DeCicco's in Ardsley. Think we'll try for one of those later. I'll report back!

Sat Oct 03 05:27:43 -0700 2009 5075642 18353 DGresh 1 5076045 I will make this very easy for you -- De Cicco's in Ardsley. They will fill grwolers for you. They have an outstanding selection of beers you only read about. The prices are fair. And the staff is quite knowledgeable. What's keeping you! Sat Oct 03 05:34:54 -0700 2009 5075642 14594 CTeater 2 5076055 Sounds great. I'm glad I asked because in a million years I never would have considered DeCicco's. I can't wait to see what they have! Sat Oct 03 05:45:33 -0700 2009 5076045 28696 i_eat_a_lot_of_ice_cream 3 5078933 You will not be disappointed. And they usually have a Captain Lawrence beer on tap, to purchase by the 1/4, 1/2 and full growler. Sun Oct 04 18:15:26 -0700 2009 5076055 14594 CTeater 1 5076658 Ice cream - if I'm not too late and you're still in upper/mid Westchester, Captain Lawrence Brewery in Pleasantville - on Castleton St. has some great stuff - plus - there's beer tastings on Saturdays! Sat Oct 03 12:11:59 -0700 2009 5075642 59004 Sra. Swanky 2 5076876 Ditto Captain Lawrence. Great beers- Sat Oct 03 14:25:17 -0700 2009 5076658 1082601 domestikate 1 5078340 decicco in pelham also has a large selection and most are kept chilled at all times Sun Oct 04 12:21:47 -0700 2009 5075642 71745 rich51 1 5082610 Definitely DiCicco's in Ardsley; they recently expanded the already prodigious beer section to include several taps as well as hundreds of bottled varieties. It's not uncommon to find a microbrewer there offering tastings on weekends. You might also check out Bavarian Bavarian Beverage Center (645 Saw Mill River Rd., Ardsley) and Leewood Beverage Center (351 Central Ave., White Plains). Tue Oct 06 08:42:52 -0700 2009 5075642 36166 surman 2 5083286 I live close by Leewood -- it has a nice selection of unusual brews in the back aisle. Tue Oct 06 12:29:00 -0700 2009 5082610 15624 VFresser 1 5083879 Have to agree with the raves here and on Beer Advocate for DeCicco's in Ardsley. We were really excited about the selection, and I've never even seen a place with growlers before. What sealed the deal is that they had the Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence, which I've been looking for since I was in Cooperstown last fall, and it was just as great as I remembered. We also picked up some Southern Tier Brewing Company beer (IPA and "pumking"), which I never even knew existed, and I spent my college years in the Southern Tier. Selection was awesome, wish we had more time to browse. The gentleman staffing the area seemed to be full of suggestions and was manning the taps, which had a bunch of unique beers. Can't wait to return!

The address is 123 Grand Street Croton on Hudson. I can't vouch for it since I've never been there but I thought it may be worth mentioning. Thu Oct 08 19:18:55 -0700 2009 5083879 92092 GIOny
