Beer here! Aldi adds alcohol to select Long Island stores

Just in time for beach days and backyard barbecues, Aldi is rolling out beer, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails at select New York stores — including locations in Rocky Point and Hempstead.

Starting June 13, more than 30 Aldi stores across the state will stock a lineup of what the German-based grocery chain calls budget-friendly alcoholic beverages. The focus is on summer-ready flavors — and will all be marked under $15.

The no frills grocery chain announced the following beverage choices will be on the shelves later this month:

• Wernesgrüner Lemon Radler – A zesty spin on the classic German beer-and-soda combo.
• Wicked Grove Blueberry Cider – A sweet, sparkling take on traditional cider.
• Locken’s Tropical Pineapple Kölsch – A light, fruity brew with a German backbone.
• Limaveza Lime Lager – Crisp and citrusy for summer sipping.
• All Play Margarita Variety Pack – Ready-to-drink fun in four bold flavors.

Aldi operates 15 stores on Long Island — and more than 2,000 stores in 38 states.
