Greenpoint Beer & Ale

That is some A+ ad copy.

 

Synthesis is soooo f*****g good, perfect ABV for me as well. Was able to grab some more today after having 2 cans over the weekend. These guys are getting better and better with every release.

 

Any thoughts on the new cans?

 

Into Nothing is really nice. Have yet to try the other

 

Into Nothing has that hop berry like flavor going on. Def good. Daily Double smells and tastes like orange/orange peel/grapefruit. Both solid.

 

My bus was stuck in traffic near PA this morning. I say F'it and get off the bus and go to Clinton Gourmet. They had Into Nothing, Daily Double, and Synthesis. I pick up 2 cans of each then proceed to walk all the way across town to my job on 1st. Sometimes you just walk 10+ blocks to buy 6 cans of beer at 7:30AM.

 

Ha! Nice that they're open that early. I did the hike from Bread and Honey to the PABT yesterday afternoon. 2 4 packs is pushing my limit.

They had almost a case of each new one left when I was there.

 

yeah carrying 8 is about my max too... LOL

B&H usually has more Greenpoint in the back though, don't think he can fit it all in the cooler. and he often gets a second batch.... BUTI plan to go today to make sure I get some.

 

Daily Double is very nice. Lots of orange marmalade, just hint of bitterness, nice nose

 

I was back again tonight and you're right- there was more in the fridge than yesterday.

 

Daily Double is pretty dang good. That said, still think Synthesis is my favorite of what they've canned thus far (and that I've had obviously).

 

Heading into the city tonight and looking to grab some beers I can’t get elsewhere. Greenpoint seems like a good mix of quality, locality and not having to wait in line. Is bread and honey still a good option? And what’s this PABT that people keep mentioning? Appreciate the help

 

PABT is Port Authority Bus Terminal. This has nothing to do with beer. We're just commuters.

Bread and Honey still has the last 2 cans per their beermenus.

 

had No Wave last night and thought it was awesome, thought it had a bit more complexity and "oomph" than synthesis which I also really liked... haven't cracked either of the new two ones yet

 

Man, if they keep pumping out these brews, I'm going to lose any desire to seek out OH. The last few drops have been spectacular. Hope the hype machine doesn't spin out of control (and that their business model is quite sustainable).

 

Into Nothing was good, but they crushed it again with Daily Double.

 

Was wondering, what do people think about visiting the brewery? I was sort of surprised at the very mixed reviews (e.g. on Yelp) given the caliber of the beers. It's pretty out of the way for me, but I'm considering a trek because their IPAs have been so damn good the last few months.

 

I've never been to the brewery, but the yelp reviews seem mixed mostly based on people receiving bad service. Everyone seems to say positive things about the beer.

 

had Into Nothing over the weekend. It was only OK for me, especially relative to the last few releases, but they all can't be winners. Looking forward to daily double though.

 

Cracked my first can of Synthesis. I want to fill a pool with this and go swimming in it.
