(Delivered 12/22/21 WE @ 7:00pm): I communicated that I needed some liquor - stat!
With some delivered food from Hamilton Pork, I wanted some local brews I've never tried before without leaving the house, so I placed an order through the Drizly app from which I selected Communipaw Liquor because they offered the quickest delivery time and offered a decent beer selection that fit my criteria. This was the first time I ever used this delivery app, and all was pretty straightforward. With a couple firsts, how was my experience with everything!?
PURCHASE
The Alementary Brewing Co. Hackensack Lager Beer 12floz 6pk ($10.99): Cloudy amber color, light malty tropical aroma, low body, light malty tropical flavor, crisp finish, and slight malty tropical aftertaste - rather refreshing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TqdPoTQ2TvBUr3kCutZUww&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw!
Carton Brewing The Hook Citra Pale Ale Beer 16floz 4pk ($14.99): Cloudy orange color, citrus tropical aroma, low body, citrus tropical flavor, juicy mouthfeel finish, and citrus tropical aftertaste - tasted like alcoholic orange juice and loved it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SMO7sKxocvysY2F8Bc6Aew&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw!
Drizly Delivery Fee ($2.99): If it's required...
SERVICE
Ordered online, the process was quick and painless. Unfortunately, I was given an ETA of 40-60 minutes when the order arrived closer to 80 minutes later with a phone call from the delivery person - easy-peasy!
PARKING (FREE; N/A in this instance)
Since I placed a delivery order, no parking necessary - 'nuff said!
ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE
Since I placed a delivery order, unfortunately, I had no idea what the actual brick & mortar looked like. Unless I made a special trip before my vacation was over, this section will be left incomplete.
ATTIRE
Temperatures were in the 30s, so I was bundled-up from head-to-toe. Otherwise, this place was totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops.
OVERALL
Communipaw Liquor provided what I needed so all was good in the world. Sure, the delivery took longer than expected, but that was more an issue with the Drizly app driver than the business itself. The prices were very comparable, and although I enjoyed the beers it had nothing to do with the liquor store. In this case, I felt it wasn't necessary to actually visit the store. And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $30.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
