Graph API returns ‘false’ or ‘Unsupported get request’ accessing public Facebook Page

by

Assuming the page is Alcohol gated (In the OP’s example the page was an alcohol page) you must access the page with an access token for a user who meets the alcohol restrictions.

For alcohol specifically, any user over 21 should be able to do this, and for some markets it’s lower (depending on the drinking age in that market).

In the general case, if a page has demographic (country or age) restrictions on its visiblity, is restricted for alcohol reasons, or is unpublished, A Page or App access token will not work when trying to access that page’s details or feed.

You must use a user access token for a user who has permission to view the page.

If the user does not meet the restrictions placed by the page admin, false was returned.

This has (since September 2012) been replaced with an OauthException with the text Unsupported get request. and code 100

This is a catch-all error which usually means a privacy check has failed.
For pages, the cause is almost certainly that the page is unpublished, gated to certain countries or age groups, or marked as an alcohol page
