I discovered craft beer about a decade ago when a local bottle shop opened near my apartment. During those formative years, I had no idea which beer I liked, so I would just indiscriminately pluck random bottles of all different styles from the shelves to create a random mixed six. One of the first beers…

We featured some great bonuses too, including a 4 course meal provided by http://www.relevanteventsnyc.com, and a mid-beer vermouth break provided by http://uncouthvermouth.com As for the beer, here’s the final list! Please let us know if you’d like to be included in the next one! Logsdon Peche…

If you like sour beer, last weekend’s Wild Beer Festival at One Mile House (Lower East Side) was the best place to drink them. Some of the highlights included Ithaca Brute, Allagash Avance, Peekskill The Aristocrats, and Crooked Stave Surette (see full list below). We spoke with One Mile House’s owner Gerard Leary…
After the unfortunate circumstances of last year’s THE Festival in Portland, nobody was really sure if another organizer would tackle the mess of craziness that is Maine’s antiquated approach to beer regulation. But miracles happen, especially when beer is involved. Sierra Nevada just announced a 7-stop series of festivals they’re calling “The largest craft beer celebration…
By: Eric Sturniolo As far as jobs go, Mike Lovullo is living a beer nerd’s dream. As the specialty brands manager at Union Beer Distributors, he gets to spend his day in New York City’s best bars and restaurants, talking about and selling beer. I caught up with him recently at Astoria Bier and…
Wow, this has got to be the best American gueuze I’ve ever had. It’s a perfect balance of tart, funk, and citrus. So delicious—I could drink it forever. Cheers!
You might remember those old Keystone Light “bitter beer face” commercials—some guy takes a sip of harsh (gross) beer that makes his face implode.

Eric: Apparently, The Jeffrey is my new favorite bar. Good, cheap food, lots of space, and a consistently amazing draft list. Today’s list had a lot I wanted…. But I settled for two: Oxbow Beer Farmhouse Pale Ale (6.0% ABV): This was my first beer from Oxbow, located in Newcastle, Maine. Yet ANOTHER amazing Maine…
Ok, so I left off with my review of THE Festival, but I want to include a couple updates: 1) You’re probably wondering what that epic looking food is up there. Well, it’s poutine (Eric would call it poutineeny). But it’s no ordinary poutine. It’s from Duckfat in Portland, where they fry their fries in…
