I had a chance to get to Galeville Grocery today. The place is on Old Liverpool Road in Liverpool, less than ten minutes from downtown Syracuse and easily accessible from the Thruway. It's a country store atmosphere - they still have a full-service butcher shop and all kinds of food and sundry items, plus LOTS of beer.
I thought I was prepared after talking with Alan of A Good Beer Blog. I wasn't! The place had a really great selection with good prices. I saw beers there from:

The gentleman who checked out my order was VERY friendly and helpful, commenting that he had noticed I was taking pictures and wondering if he could be of more assistance. I said I took the photos to remember what they had in stock and that I was going to write about his store for my web site. He promptly gave me a flyer about the store and another flyer describing their commitment to beer.
At the risk of turning this into an ad, I can't recommend them highly enough if you're going to be in the area. The store has been operating continuously as a store since at least 1888 and the selection and service were worth the trip. Their contact information is:
Galeville Grocery
412 Old Liverpool Road
Liverpool, NY 13088
315-457-2020
They don't have a web site, but the guy I spoke with (I assume he is the owner) mentioned his son's site, www.kegworks.com. I checked it out and they have some nice beer-related products.
Thanks to Alan for the tip and to the owners and staff at the Galeville Grocery!
