Beer in the new era

Sadly no - ill webmail you my email addy

Whole Foods are among the finest bars.

there are many reasons to hate on WF, but the stores are really well thought-out in my experience

you sure pay for that, though

BA Ten Fidy is very nice. One perk of being removed from the popular white whale beers of Chicago is that others have become seemingly easier to find? Never had this stuff there, it disappeared too fast.

More BCBS data: still sitting at local stores, including easy targets like Binny's. I'm assuming they just must have made a shit ton of it this year.

I’ve only looked one additional place, Lakeview Whole Foods and they were out! Maybe I should just move to the burbs.

A friend from Chicago came to visit over the weekend and brought me 16-17 barleywines and 17 regular. He said it was still easily available in his home burbs, SW side Oak Lawn/Lemont/etc.

going to drink my bcbs then, I guess

do you guys paper bag it on the nj transit?

I think it’s weird they let people get “lit up” on the train to borrow a cherished phrase from my brother

(Mordy, if you sent webmail I didn't get it... but then again, I have no idea what email account is attached to my ILX login haha).

just email me at mms531 at nyu dot edu

i had an amazing beer from tired hands tnite -

Rust & Decay II:
Blended Pennsylvania Sour Brown Ale. 6.9% A blend of oak fermented beers from a dizzying array of wine and spirit barrels, balanced by a small portion of fresh, stainless fermented beer. Naturally carbonated in the keg by refermentation. Surrender to decay.

so good.

Damn... I was hoping to hit you up before you hit TH, but email sent regardless.

Tonight’s modest haul.
Blood Orange first - don’t taste it at all but it’s passable for a Thursday.

O.H.S.O. Boom! Dynamite IPA is really juicy and absolutely hitting the spot atm.

There's a little brewery that opened in Portsmouth, R.I. this year — Ragged Island. Their Five Tsar is honestly one of the best stouts I've ever had. Hopefully they'll get some distribution soon.

I am sure I've said this before but I love coming to visit my parents in rural MI because I can find all the rare Bells and Founders beers that sell so quick in the city. Black Note, Whiskey Barrel Cherry Stout, and CBS, all since Xmas day. Unfortunately, pricing has caught up with urban areas.

Seeing as I am currently about a mile from you, where are you finding these?

Platform cherry donut pie gose
Like drinking an alcoholic donut with sprinkles

I drank a roughly seven year old Pipeworks Imperial Porter tonight and it was super good! Still fizzy, not a hint of sourness.

Almost ordered a bud light

Rejected David Crosby line? "...but I didn't, and I wonder why..."

Ha

Possibly

Because the eagle rock populist ipa i got was just okay — on tap though so marginally better than the canned/bottled stuff

A couple weeks ago I had a bottle of Miller Lite at a bar by my in laws place while waiting for carry out pizza and the place smelled of snowmobile exhaust and the Packers Lions game was on and it was sublime.

Nice

rye pale ale by VAULT brewing company -- pretty good. really mild, low gravity and crisp with a nice rye "bite."

I like Eagle Rock's sours, and their Red Velvet, an 11% abv red ale with rye.

“Can I get a 4 oz of the Unicorn Vomit?” is a thing people say now

(It was very tasty)

I could never drink somehing called that

Naming not quite up to the admittedly high standards of race horses

i want to drink a stout that's called the black stallion

Bronx pale ale, middle of the road. Why is there caramel up in this shit?

what other beers are similar to Sixpoint Brewery's Tesla?

(the tried and true "read beeradvocate" route is giving me a list including a few I've had that don't taste like it at all)

Hoppy wheat lagers seem pretty niche/narrow and no idea what market you're in but:
August Schell Hoppy Wheat Lager
Jack's Abby Leisure Time
Jack's Abby Hoponius Union

thanks!

Is Tesla a wheat beer? Their site didn't mention it.

1st line of 2P:

The brew is an energetically hopped lager with a notable wheat component.

Ah, I only looked at the Sixpoint site, whose small blurb doesn't mention it. http://sixpoint.com/beers/tesla/

weird: http://sixpoint.com/blog/sixpoint-tesla/

they have a keg of it at one of the local spots with a hundred taps or w/e

Lolling a little reading reviews of Surly's barrel aged Darkness that mention "bourbon" despite the fact the bottles clearly state the beer was aged in rye barrels.

Prolly the same people who describe beers as "boozy."

What are some good beer bars in Manhattan/Brooklyn? Places with lots of local/regional stuff on tap. Good food would be a plus too.

The Pony, Tørst. I haven't been many places.

I also don't recall if they have food. I'm no help!

Torst has a good selection - I had some great sours there - but the lack of windows makes me feel like I’m in someone’s basement. Gets really crowded too.

Also In Bk I can recommend the Hop Shop, on Columbia St just north of red hook. Relatively new, good selection of drafts and cans, and not packed due to it’s relatively inaccessible via subway.

Bar Great Harry in Carroll gardens has a huge selection, double sided small print menu, including some exclusives from other half I believe. Gets crowded but a nice small space.

Brouwerij Lane in greenpoint has tall refrigerators full of cans that you can drink on the spot with a $1 glass fee. Also a good selection on draft. Very small place.
