Huge beer selection here at very good prices. Most of the case beer is warm but there’s plenty cold as well. Definitely a warehouse setting, with no frills. Fairly pleasant staff.

Great service! Called before we came in to make sure my husband can get the Switchback beer he loves greatly from Burlington. They had 5(24 oz in the fridge) he went to the cashier who handed him a box which was very convenient. We also cleared out the remaining room temperature ones, hubs was happy he got his beer! They have a wonderful selection of local beers so while we were in NY we figured to get NY brews to take with us to Virginia! Ciders we can’t wait to taste you! Great pricing as well and only a half mile from most hotels on Central Avenue

Ever been to Price Chopper and have the machine reject some of your bottles because they were not purchased there? Colonie Beverage is the solution. After amassing a collection of «weird» or off-brand beverage containers, we finally dragged them all in to Colonie Beverage Center. They will accept anything marked with the 5 cent NY deposit. Can’t vouch for the rest of the business, but I’m glad to find this service closer to me than Mike’s Bottle and Cans.

I haven’t had a lot of experience shopping at beer stores in NY, but this place seems pretty decent. They have a usual selection of major beers(Bud, Coors, etc.), but they also carry a number of craft beers. They have sampler packs of lots of local(ish) breweries and a decent selection of 6 packs and 22 oz. They have some craft 22 oz in the coolers too. You can find a sampling of sodas and other random items here as well. For the local store it’s pretty good.

Quality beer at reasonable prices. This place was a Star Market when I was a kid, across the street from the old Mohawk Drive-In. Both are gone now, but reincarnated as a beverage center, Colonie Star Beverage has been serving up cold beer, soda and ice for many many years, so they are obviously doing something right. When I go back to the Capitol District for a visit, I always stop in, and have been impressed with the attention these guys have paid to constantly increasing their stock of quality craft brews from all over NY, New England, the US and the world. Sure all the usual BudMillerCoorsKeystone swill is there too, but the craft beer wall and microbrew cooler stock is where CSB shines. I an always find something new and interesting, great Belgians, classic styles and a good selection of regionals like Saranac, Brooklyn Brewing, Southern Tier and Lake Placid Brewing. I especially like the growth in canned craft beer, since I am often stocking up for a canoe trip where cans are the rule. Nice to have quality canned choices! The people who work there are nice, helpful in getting stuff to your car, and their prices are reasonable too. Keep up the good work.
