By Eric Sturniolo Three heirloom tomatoes. One bushel of kale. Four amazing beers fresh from the tap. That was my day (minus the tomatoes and kale; I can’t cook) at the new Whole Foods in Gowanus, Brooklyn. In the huge, shiny store, I focused on the beer and the cafe. To start your beer…
Eric: Shake Shack is on my block, but I try not to go all the time so I can live to at least 34. But I went last night, planning to do a story about their beer selection. Alas, it was crowded and there was nowhere to sit. So, I took it back home and…
Andrew: Dear BrewBoyz Blog readers, The BBB has been going super strong for almost 6 months now. A new year approaches, and with new yearz, comes changez … for the better! I’d like to introduce Mike as the newest Brewboyz of the BBB. Mike is the person responsible for my insane obsession with drinking and…
Eric: Pie and Beer. A classic pairing. They go together like goat cheese and crack. Lucky for me, a great Brooklyn beer bar, Mission Dolores, had a Pie Beer Night! There were six different pies, made locally by Four and Twenty Blackbirds, with recommended beer pairings. The bar is in Park Slope/Gowanus on 4th Ave…
Eric: Last night I was lucky enough to have some really rare and incredible Hair of the Dog beers. But first, some other stuff I’ve had recently: Friday night was IPA night (with a sour break)- Stone 17th Anniversary Götterdämmerung IPA is made with German and German-inspired hops and malts. Maybe because of that, it…
Eric: Apparently it’s pretty popular, but I just had my first Stiegl Radler (Grapefruit) today. They claim it’s half Stiegl Goldbrau, and half fruit soda. It tasted exactly like Grapefruit Pelligrino, which I love, but I have trouble considering this a beer. Especially at only 2.5%. If I drank 10 of these, I’d be more…
Eric: Brewboyz drink beer together, but sometimes Brewboyz drink beer seperately (my spell check wanted to change ‘separately’ to ‘desperately’. There’s some truth to that). Last night, Andrew thought he was so cool drinking a Maine Beer Co. Lunch (one of our favorite beers ever). But little did he know that I was EVEN…
Eric: If you’re like me, you’re illiterate, but slowly grasping how to read. I’ve gotten most words down, but when they are put together in sentences and paragraphs, my head starts to hurt and I give up and drink beer. This is why lists are great.. who needs all those unnecessary sentence words?! But lists,…
Eric: Science can be pretty science-ey sometimes. That’s evident by the heat wave NYC has been experiencing. As I type this, it’s 96 with a heat index of 105. It’s so hot that it’s caused trees to shed bark almost as fast as I’ve shed clothes. I’m sure you’ve heard that beer makes you dehydrated.…
Eric: In an effort to continue weaning myself off my IPA addiction, I’ve been tasting more and more of Andrew’s precious gross sour beers. But they are actually pretty good! I even drank a whole glass all by myself, like a big boy! This happened on July 4th, at Torst, which is an amazing beer…
