Take your Memorial Day barbecue to the next level with one of these local kegs. Is there a better way to kick off summer in Westchester?
Memorial Day is the inauguration of summer — barbecues, booze, and fireworks (depending on who your neighbors are). Jazz up your party this year and spare your guests the dingy cooler full of subpar beer by springing for a keg. Not only is it a more fiscally responsible decision, but you’ll be serving the freshest suds in the neighborhood. Here’s where in Westchester you can go to score a keg.
Captain Lawrence
444 Saw Mill River Rd, Elmsford; 914.741.2337
Of course, the marquee brewery of Westchester is rolling out kegs of some of its best brews. Pro tip: When grilling, you can’t go wrong with the crowd-pleasing, classic lager. (And if you’re looking for something for those friends who don’t like beer, Captain Lawrence is also selling cans of its new spiked seltzer that’s 10% ABV). There is one simple request of the brewery for after the fact: When your soiree is done, please bring the kegs back.

Half Time
139 Hoyt Ave, Mamaroneck; 914.341.1666
Housing a vast variety of international and domestic beer, Half Time never disappoints — and has a brew for everyone’s palate. You can choose from either a full-sized keg of a standard beer or several mini-kegs of smaller, more specialized beers. Cheers!

Run and Hide Brewery
223 1/2 Westchester Ave, Port Chester; 914.305.1352
The latest brewery to hit Westchester, Run and Hide makes it impossible to pass up drinking beer with names like “Remember Your First Beer,” “Your Mom’s Best Friend,” and “Stick With Grandma.” Having a keg of any of Tim Shanley’s micro-brewed beauties will have your friends swooning and bragging in no time.

Shannon Beverages
439 North Ave, New Rochelle; 914.632.1115
A good selection of beer in its own right, this liquor store also has kegs available for all of your, well, keg needs, and at an affordable price point, too. Be sure to call early enough in advance, as it can take a few days for Shannon to get the keg together.
