Owner: Dave
Dave, the owner, is committed to craft beer and wants to serve the beer saavy drinkers of Long Island. He began his beer explorations a few years back with a selection of beers that he had sampled himself. Since then his selection has expanded and with our support Dave might be able to boast the best selection of craft beers this far east of 110. Of course, selection isn't everything. Ya gotta have soul.
Quick Updates
Donavan's Review: September 4th, 2007
We were out picking up fresh veggies at our CSA and realized
we needed to stock up on some beer for our little holiday at home. Bellport Cold Beer
& Soda is not far from our farm. Denise has stopped in a few times
over the years, but last night was my first visit.
Denise told me that she went in about four years ago and chatted with Dave, the owner. She asked if he had anything interesting and he directed her to the shelf pictured here. That was the extent of the craft beer and import selection then. Dave said that he was trying beers and slowly building up his stock. Today, he advertises over 400 brands of craft beer.
The selection for American craft beer is extensive. You can find just about all the mainline craft beer producers in the US under Dave's roof. The selection of imports doesn't have as much depth however. You'll be able to find the main brands from Belgium and Germany, but if you taste ranges to the exotic and obscure, you'll be wasting your time.
Dave's got a website and a blog. The website is pretty basic. The list of beers is a little hard to find. One link (the list "by type") takes you to an "under construction" notice, but Dave pointed me to the alphabetical list: alphabetical listing and a listing by beer type. The blog is a good idea, but there's only three posts and the last one was in July. I did find out that one of Dave's favorite beers is Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.
One thing I think is pretty cool is Dave's got a home delivery service. If you need some beer brought to your house, for a $5 delivery charge you can have whatever you want dropped on your doorstep. The delivery service is for folks living in Bellport, Brookhaven, and East Patchogue (the communities served by this beer store). You can either email your order of call: info@bellportbeer.com or 631-286-0760.
If you are into cigars, you'll also find a selection of those brownish, oblong objects.
