From Ice to Mixers to Snacks: The Complete Party Supply Guide at Beer Universe

Tue, Aug 25, 2026

Planning a party is easy right up until you realize you forgot the ice. Or the mixers. Or basically everything except the beer.

That's exactly the kind of last-minute scramble Beer Universe was built to fix. One stop, one cart, everything you actually need.

With 15 locations spread across New York, there's a good chance a full party supply run is closer than you think.

Ice: The One Thing Everyone Forgets

Ice always feels optional until the cooler runs dry and the drinks go warm. Then it's the only thing that matters.

Grabbing bagged ice in Albany, NY on the way to the party puts you ahead of everyone else who forgot.

Running low last minute? Ice in Amsterdam, NY is stocked all day, so a quick stop won't slow you down.

Same story for ice in Coxsackie, NY. Grab a couple extra bags, because there's never such a thing as too much ice.

A few options you'll find on the shelf:

● Crushed ice for coolers and punch bowls

● Cubed ice for cups and mixed drinks

● Block ice for keeping big coolers cold longer

Soda and Mixers: Building a Real Drink Station

A good drink station needs more than liquor. It needs the right soda, the right mixers, and enough of both to last the whole night.

Picking up soda in Kingston, NY means your mixed drinks actually taste right instead of watered down and flat.

The same goes for soda in Wynantskill, NY and soda in Saugerties, NY. Full shelves, cold when you need them, name brands you already trust.

Stock the basics and you're covered no matter what people are drinking:

● Club soda and tonic water

● Cola, ginger ale, and lemon-lime soda

● Juice for anyone skipping the alcohol

Mixture: The Cocktail Corner

Cocktail mixers are what turn a plain pour into something people actually remember.

Stopping for mixture in Troy-Northern, NY gets you margarita mix, bloody mary mix, and a few flavors worth trying.

Mixture in Troy-5th Ave, NY covers the same ground, so if that location is closer, you're not missing anything.

And mixture in Troy-Hoosick, NY rounds it out with sour mix, daiquiri mix, and the classics people always ask for.

Snacks: Because Nobody Parties on an Empty Stomach

Drinks without snacks is a rookie mistake. People need something to munch on between rounds.

Snacks in Schenectady-Kelton, NY covers chips, pretzels, and dip in every flavor a party could ask for.

Snacks in Schenectady-Union, NY has the same lineup, plus a few seasonal picks worth grabbing.

And snacks in Malta, NY keeps the shelves full of the salty, crunchy stuff that disappears fastest.

A few crowd favorites to toss in the cart:

● Chips and pretzels

● Popcorn and mixed nuts

● Dips, salsa, and cheese trays

Energy Drinks: Keeping the Night Going

Some parties run long, and not everyone wants a beer in hand the whole time.

Energy drinks in Saratoga, NY are cold and ready whenever the night needs a second wind.

Same with energy drinks in Queensbury, NY. A full cooler of options for anyone who wants to stay sharp.

Coolers: The Unsung Hero

None of this matters if there's nothing to keep it cold. A good cooler is the quiet MVP of every party.

Coolers in Wilton, NY come in every size, from a small one for the drive over to a big one that holds the whole spread.
