Apparently, the winner in this category is determined not by who is the best, but who can get the most friends to vote for them. I have been to practically every beer store on L.I. and these guys, while decent, aren’t even close.
How sad.
agreed. no disrespect to the winners, but yes, there are better distributors on long island. especially for craft beer, whether bottles or growlers.
Chris, Where can i find a larger growler selection on Long Island? According to http://www.beermenus.com/wantagh-beverage Wantagh Beverage has 12 growlers and over 300 micro and craft. I went there after I read the 2011 results and I had a hard time making a decision about what to buy.
rich, you’re right, i apologize. after checking out beermenus, beeradvocate, and ratebeer, wantagh is clearly the “go to” destination on long island.
