Best of the Bottle Share By Eric Sturniolo We recently hosted a bottle share at The Wilky, a new (and great) craft beer spot in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. We were lucky to have a lot of cool people bring a lot of amazing bottles. The standouts, whether for pure quality or uniqueness, are below.. happy…

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…

Westbrook Mr. Chipper Mount Pleasant, SC Flanders Red Ale – 6.80% ABV By: Eric Sturniolo This Flanders red ale (named from the Flanders region of Belgium) is aged in red wine barrels for 2.5 years. It pours a hazy dark red, with a fizzy head that dissipates quickly. The taste is sour and very tart…

Eric: You like beer, live in NYC, and have a Hyundai Elantra. What to do? Drive 6 hours to Vermont on a random Thursday, of course! That’s what we did, leaving early Thursday morning, making some epic anti-traffic maneuvers, and arriving at 3pm. Our trip included stops at: 1. tasting and purchases at Hill Farmstead…
