Had a good time yesterday in LIC. Started out at Greats of Craft. Great list and bartender was very helpful. Did 5th Hammer, Focal Point, Finback, finally made it Ale Wife. Been to LIC numerous times and never made over. Trivia was happening and it was super busy, but the bartender was still able to chat some and traded some Three’s cans for Halfway Crooks we brought from Atlanta. Finished the night at Beer St. North which we really enjoyed before heading back to the room.

Doing a beer trade with a Swedish friend and he’s asking for King JJJulius but I think would be happy with any well-regarded west coast style IPA.

According to Untappd, I can’t find these anywhere within 100 miles. Any chance I’m missing something and there’s somewhere I can snag some cans?

Heading out for a Manhattan bar crawl today. Itinerary below. In from Atlanta for the week. Really love the beer scene here. Wife and I ran the Marathon yesterday and are here through Saturday. Full days of bars and breweries.

Spring Lounge, Alidoro-Lunch, Torch and Crown, Carmine St Beers, Blind Tiger, Beer Run, Milk and Hops, Haymaker, Beer Culture, As is. Any additions subtractions needed? Thanks

In NYC for a long weekend and there seem to be a bunch of Pubs within walking distance but I’m yet to find a place with Strongbow Dry Cider. Would love to be pointed in the right direction.

Announced on their Instagram. I'm not sure how I feel about this- I kind of saw it coming after they moved and I visited the new location for the first time, but it comes across kind of abrupt- they have some kind of private event on their last day, but the wording of the post makes it sound like this has been known for a while? They say the brand isn't going away, but I'm not sure how much traction they have anymore.

Anyone know where I can buy some cans?

Hello all!

Planning a 40th birthday trip in March on a Saturday. Plan to hit up Finback (Brooklyn), Evil Twin (DUMBO), Three's Brewing, Grimm, and ending up at Other Half Rockefeller. Would be staying near Times Square. It looks like Grimm is the farthest out. Is it easy to take a subway/train out to Grimm and then hit the Brooklyn places and snag a train back to OH?

Just looking for any input.

Thanks!

A buddy from Yorkshire had been living here for a few years and has been searching high and low for it either on tap or bottles. Any sightings?

Tis the season for those fresh dank beers, anyone know of bars that have some on draft? Maybe a shop with some bottles/cans?

Hi..Anyone see a schedule of any cask festivals coming up in nyc. Saw blue point has one next month but looking for something closer.. strong rope in red hook and fifth hammer in lic usually do something

Willing to travel around. Where’s your favorite spot to watch a game and have a few beers?

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.

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 ??

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!

Does anyone know of goth or alternative bars in Manhattan or Brooklyn?

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! 🍻

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

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

They're closing their Industry city location this Sunday 8/18. After closing their LIC location their only remaining location is upstate in Genevia NY.

Is there anybody here hiring for bar backing or bartending jobs? Or do you happen to know anyone who is?

I’m Tired of going around the job boards for things that are already filled. and being newer to the area my network, isn’t that big. I have experience. I appreciate any advice and I’ll always remember a favor.

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

Anybody seen London Black on tap anywhere in the city?

I can't find it? Used to love you it over the summer. Any spots pouring or even in can?

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?
