76 /100 160 LAWRENCEVILLE-PENNINGTON RD. - SUITE 4. Visited here this past Friday evening at around 6pm. Arrived to find the place jam-packed from wall to wall with a long line to reach the bar to secure some brews. So, we ducked out and went down the road to grab some dinner at the local Italian restaurant to kill some time, before returning for a second attempt. We arrived back at around 7:30 to find the place was still rather crowded but were able to quickly order some brews and grab one of the tables that just opened up. The place is rather small, with a bar that has 10 stools and about 10 additional tables. Normally, there are 10 tap offerings to choose from. Tonight's offerings included 3 IPA's, a Pils, a Cream Ale, a Porter, a Sour Ale, an Imperial Hefeweizen and a Hard Seltzer. I tried the Am I Citra Too? Hazy IPA and found it quite satisfying. My second choice was the Ports Ahoy Porter, which was very tasty as well. Judging from the boisterous crowd, the beers were all well received by the patrons. The brewery is located in the Manor Corners Shopping Center, which also houses a few food establishments including a Bagel Shop as well as Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Jamaican restaurants. Definitely worth checking out this new brewpub if you in the area. |
84 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 This is the best beer selection you are going to find in the Princeton, NJ area. |
78 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 Solid beerstore if you are in the area. Good parking. Nice selection. |
64 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 i was in the area without much choice of where to go and this place was nearby. Like a slightly dirtier, messier Total Wine.
Coolers on the wall across from a long row of singles and sixes. Decent selection of NE regionals. I overheard other customers looking for suggestions and it seemed the staff had little clue as to what to advise, other than to sell them some beer. |
74 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 Like a Total Wine but with a very small selection of singles. They did have more high end stuff like Lost Abbey and Bruery sours. Prices seemed decent. |
78 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 I was a little disappointed, to be honest. I expected a larger, better organized craft beer offering than I found. Decent amount of the common varieties but nothing too shocking. I liked their selection of singles.
Worth a stop if you are in the area but not worth seeking out. |
72 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 I used to stop by here on my way home after work. Great selection of craft with a decent selection of singles as well. No complaints here - one of the better Canal’s I’ve been to. |
68 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 I’ve been to this Canals more then a handful of times. They have a growler station with 4-5 different offerings. Lots of six packs in a wall of coolers. To the opposite are the singles/ 22oz/ 750s on another wall of shelves. Overall decent selection with some random limited release beers. I stop by whenever i pass just to see what’s going on. never go out of my way to go here. |
70 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 A huge big box type of liquor store with a long cooler full of single bottles and six packs .... small selection of single bottles that was semi-organized ... lots of US micros and some foreign (fantome, mikkeller, don de ciel) as well as some current releases.... found some sam adams triple bock 1994 there although thats not much to brag about .... all in all the prices were ok and if your looking for some rare finds from micros they have them but super saver in pennington had a much better selection. |
84 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 big-box style shopping; but HUGE variety and knowledgeable staff. optional membership program, and a wine/beer classes and a tasting room bring up the ambiance. |
72 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 Large liquor with some great beers, large enough you can usually find stuff many other stores have run out of but rare stuff still goes quickly. |
78 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 This is definitely above your average liquor store. Prices were reasonable, some were even great deals. Looks like a typical warehouse store. You can buy singles, sixers and cases. My only suggestion is that you bring a second picture ID. The girl behind the counter asked for a second form of picture ID after I gave her a delaware state license. I seriously almost laughed. That has never happened to me before and had I not had my old college ID on me, I don’t know what would have happened. Overall good store and one of the best selections in the immediate area. |
90 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 HUGE store.. best selection I have seen; however, I haven’t been to that many large beer stores so I have no comparison. |
90 /100 Joe Canal’s - Lawrenceville (Beer Store) 3375 US RT 1 One of my top three goto places in my area in the North East rt. 1 corridor. Great selection, pretty good prices, and the staff, well, don’t bother them. They’re much more interested in selling wine, but you wouldn’t know it from the beer stock. Great stuff here: Oskar Blues, Victory, Stone, great Divide, DFH, and lots more. Great singles selection. Surpassed only by Canal’s in Burlington, NJ and Circle Liquors Super Saver, Pennington. |
