Checking under every bottlecap for the best beers around.
I'm slowly going through Radiant Pig's portfolio of beers after having several positive drinking experiences since discovering them - and how could I not go with Own The Night IPA with the cute, trouble-making raccoon on the can? Brewery: Radiant Pig Craft Beers (Brooklyn, NY) Rating: 87/100 Comments: Own the Night pours a fairly hazy... Continue Reading →
Listen, I love IPAs of every style and New England IPAs in particular are everywhere and I can sometimes go too long without drinking other styles. Other Half is well-known in the IPA fan community, but when I saw they had a Kölsch out - I really wanted to try it. I hadn't heard of... Continue Reading →
Kings County Brewers Collective has quickly become a brewery that I trust since I moved to New York, and they have a Penguins Session IPA series that really intrigued me so I picked up two of them - Penguins in Space and Penguins in Hyperspace. There are a couple others but I haven't tried them... Continue Reading →
To be honest, there's no great story behind this review. It was the Logical Conclusion to my trip to my local beer store that I'd end up taking a can of this interesting looking IPA home with me to enjoy while watching the NBA playoffs. Thumbs up for me! Brewery: Threes Brewing (Brooklyn, NY) Rating:... Continue Reading →
Chainsaws And Kittens was purchased on the strength of the name and can art, as well as my interest in lesser known beer styles. I might do a longer post about the style itself, but Grisettes are a sub-category of the Saison. They are similarly dry and light. They were brewed mostly for miners, and... Continue Reading →
I've been reviewing (and drinking) a lot of New England IPAs recently - reflecting the current craft beer market - but I was really looking forward to this witbier from another brewery within a half-hour drive from my apartment. Frog Alley's Wit Your Mom is a good example of a witbier, and a refreshing summer... Continue Reading →
I picked up a can of TV Party New England IPA at my go-to local beer store because the can caught my eye while sitting on the 'new stock' shelf. I've had a couple of other beers from Radiant Pig and they've all been pretty good so why not give another one a try? How... Continue Reading →
Fort Orange Brewing is a local brewery for my wife and I, and we've grown to really love visiting. We are allowed to bring our dog with us, and there are quite a few great options to order delivery from so we like to set up shop at a table before ordering some food from... Continue Reading →
Geyser Gose is a collaboration between two breweries I typically have good luck with. Two Roads Brewing brews quite a few varieties of gose that are all pretty good, and Evil Twin (founded/owned by the twin brother of Mikkeller's founder/brewer) pretty much always has delicious beers - regardless of how crazy some of their names/ingredients...

My father-in-law travels down to West Point for an Army football game every year with some of his buddies, typically stopping at a brewery or two on the way there or back, and The Peekskill Brewery is one they've stopped by and mentioned to me. When I saw a 6-pack of their Valley Life New... Continue Reading →
