What's up with Torch & Crown?

Saw a fundraiser posted on GoFundMe - https://www.gofundme.com/f/crowdfunding-severance-for-former-torch-crown-brewers?qid=2f2cc627fa0dca5e64a4e1db9bf54d23

I’m a friend and colleague of the now former Torch and Crown production team. They were abruptly let go last week with out Notice, Severance or PTO pay out.

Someone also commented on one of their Instagram posts that they do this every year.

Best craft beer bar in lower manhattan ?

Will be in the city Saturday - I live in JC and am going to take the path in and hopefully walk to a good bar that’s oriented around craft beer. The path stops on Christopher st, 9th, 14th, 23rd(?) and 33rd. Anyone know any solid craft beer bars around those areas ??

Where to find Hel & Verdoemenis stout?

I miss my Hel & Verdoemenis stout from Brouwerij De Molen in The Netherlands. I’ve got no idea where to find it in NYC. I’m open to a bar or shop in any borough or an online store where I can get it delivered. TIA!

Augustiner Lagerbier Hell

Munich’s Augustiner has been exporting Edelstoff and Maximator to the U.S. for a while, but they've never sent their flagship, Augustiner Lagerbier Hell, stateside—until now.

Has anyone spotted it on shelves in Manhattan? If so, where?

Prost! 🍻

World's BrewFair homebrewing event!

Hi there!

I'm with the Brewminaries, New York City's largest homebrewing group. Though I'd share a great event we've got planned for Saturday Sept. 28 at Farm to People in Bushwick.

Wer'e throwing a World's BrewFair! Featuring more than 30 of New York City's best homebrewers, we're making beers in eight categories focusing on the past, present and future of beer. It's a great opportunity to learn more about our favorite drink - and see what is possible with a little bit of time and yeast in a New York City apartment. Our members are all amateurs, but we've had brewers go on to brew at basically ever major brewery in the city (including the heavy hitters like Other Half, Grimm, Wild East and Sixpoint).

It's always a great time and the beer is really good and very creative - and it's for a good cause too! We're donating 10 percent of proceeds to the Lovibond Project, which works to increase BIPOC representation in the craft beer industry. Please consider coming if you're around on Sept. 28

Which NY craft brewery is the biggest Giants supporter?

I'm a blogger located just outside of Cleveland, Ohio, and while most of my content is related to Ohio breweries and its craft brew scene I want to branch out a little. As a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan, I thought it might be fun to connect with some breweries that back the opponents on our schedule this season. This is where you all come in. Are there any breweries in the NY/NJ area that you might think are more sports centric than others? Any that come to mind that scream, "this is my go to place on game day?"

I appreciate the help in advance, thanks!

Quick edit: I'm not actually visiting the area but I am hoping to get some insight into which breweries would be more likely to engage in friendly interview about beer and football

Kid friendly breweries or bars

I'm trying to plan a birthday party and looking for a brewery or bar with outdoor space that would be welcoming for kids, as I and most of my friends are parents of kids from 2-8 y.o. Wondering if there's anywhere that's not just tolerant of kids sitting at their parents' table but genuinely fine with them bouncing around a bit.

I've been somewhere like this in NJ but not sure if there's anything similar in the city. Queens would be best but open to recs anywhere

Deep fried beers

I saw them around in retail a year or two ago, and then they went on a hiatus. Now that they’re revamping production, has anyone seen them around the city?

What closed NYC beer bar do you miss the most?

Walked by the spot in East Williamsburg where The Well used to be and got nostalgic for all the great beer bars in the city that have closed, whether this year or several years ago. Anyone else have a specific beer bar that closed and left a pint-sized hole in their heart?

Weekday Lunch?

I'll be heading through the city on Wednesday between like 12-2ish. I've been trying to find a place that has a good food and decent selection of local breweries I might not get to check out elsewhere (I'm from northeast MA). Bonus points for unique atmosphere.

Last few times I went to the Grand Delancey and was real bummed to see they're closed now.

Any recommendations?

Green City - question about arrivals

For those in GA, what time are you planning on arriving? I’ve never done an event like this. Is like 30 minutes a good window of time to get there and hopefully get in within a reasonable time?

Cheers to those going, I’ll drink a beer for those that cannot 🍻
