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…
This may be hard to believe, but after 2 years of aging, Hill Farmstead Clara is still… amazing! The brewery describes this beer as a grissette, which is a French style extremely similar to a saison: crisp, low-alcohol, summery, wheaty. Clara hits all the marks and more. Tastes of wheat, lemon, and yeast, with a…
Our second beer share somehow surpassed the first one. 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…
Alchemist’s Beelzebub Imperial Stout is really nice—great coffee and chocolate character with lemony hops that cut right through.
Last week we told you about The Alchemist’s plan to open a 2nd brewery and retail shop. Today John Kimmich announced that they will be canning Focal Banger IPA at the 2nd location. http://alchemistbeer.com/blog/ Greetings from John Posted on 1/26/14 Greetings People of Earth, I have been meaning to put out an update on…
Great news from The Alchemist: http://alchemistbeer.com/blog/#2765 New Retail Location Status Posted on 1/21/14 Wow, the last two months have been a bit crazy around here. The following is an update on where The Alchemist currently stands in regards to a new retail location. Be warned—this is very dull. You may want to skip through to…
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: Oh, hello. This weekend was a pretty great one… this was mine: Friday night I FINALLY drank my (very old) Stone Enjoy By 9.13.13. It was still great. Saturday the BrewBoyz went to The Jeffery, a new bar on the lower Upper East Side. It was their official opening celebration (even though it had…
Andrew: I’m home sick today. It sucks because I want to drink the beer that I bought last weekend on the epic VT trip. Luckily, there are only a few I have yet to try. First I’ll start this post by finishing off the day and night we spent in Waterbury, VT: After visiting The…
Eric: Hide your daughters and padlock your refrigerator, there is a beer thief causing havoc in NYC. When we went on our Vermont trip, my two friends nicely watched Nikki, the BrewDogz. She loves them, and is best friends with their dog, Prima. And what’s better than a puppy sleepover party?! To thank them, I…
Eric: After the Elantra kicked up some dust on the dirt roads leaving Hill Farmstead, we drove the 45 minutes on horribly slow rural roads to The Alchemist Brewery, home of Heady Topper, maybe my favorite beer ever. The first thing we noticed in the parking lot was the crazy (good) smell. To me it…
Andrew: I’ve been taking as many beercations and going to as many beer events as I can this summer before the baby comes (in only a couple months!). It started in mid-June with Savor, then The Festival, a beer share for my birthday and now the BBz conquered the greatest beer state on the East…
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…
