Which store is that? I stop by the liquor store near the Point Pleasant
Bridge on 36 (next to the empty Shop Rite- the name may be something
like "Jonathon Ron's") whenever I visit the in-law in PP- otherwise I'll
have to drink Coors Light or Budweiser.

They have an impressive selection of Belgians and sometimes other
imports, but they are poorly treated (stored in direct sunlight) and
often old (not too bad in the case of Belgians...). I was always
surprised, considering the amount of beers they carry, that the NEAREST
brewery to them- Heavyweight- had almost NO shelf space- often they have
NO Heavyweight beers at all. They have a big selection but it's quirky
(same with the joint across the road- much smaller selection but every
once in awhile they'll have something different)- I guess that part of
selling beer at the shore, tho'. The A&P Liquors further down the road
(next to the chain drug store) used to have a nice selection (altho',
again, often mis-treated) but has progressively gotten more pedestrian
in the last decade or so...
