After two years of planning, business partners Kushan Patel, Pratik Shah, and Jay Patel have opened Clifton Park Beverage Center at North Country Commons, 1208 NY-146. It's quickly become a local favorite since its soft opening on May 10.

With over 20 years in the beverage industry, Kushan Patel brings his expertise from managing centers in Colonie and Troy.

Shah and Jay Patel joined him. They saw Clifton Park’s growth and the need for a nearby beverage center, leading to their spacious 7,000-square-foot location.

The store is known for its wide selection of New York craft beers, local and international sours, ales, IPAs, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Bottle redemption services are available for all brands.

Clifton Park Beverage Center also stands out for its knowledgeable staff, referred to as “beer concierges,” who offer personalized recommendations. Kushan Patel’s deep understanding of breweries and brands adds to the store’s appeal.

The grand opening in June was a success, with a warm community response and many repeat customers. Future plans include online ordering, DoorDash and Uber Eats delivery, and regular tasting events.

Whether you’re a beer fanatic or looking for something new, this beverage center has something for everyone.
