Triple Threat - NBS BIF #3

I'm more in the NYC/Hudson Valley beer zone, although I did include some NJ beers from a place that distributes more widely.

 

That's a better beer zone to be in, honestly. So much more beer at your fingertips.

 

I hit Sloop last week. Good stuff! You live by there?

 

That's kind of like the zone I'm in I can be in VT, Me, and Ma in under an hour and also all the great stuff here in NH. Hills Farmstead is a little longer trip but not out of the question. Anyone want to do Dinner?

 

Yeah, you are in the eye of the storm. Very nice.

 

Allrighty, then- I did come home to find a nice big juicy box waiting for me, thanks to @Josholson666 :


A truly amazing array, and I can't thank you enough, man!

The crowlers are from Dangerous Man and Sisyphus, and I finally get to check out these kind of things in person . Those will be the first things I tap into this coming NBS; I'll want to get to them as fresh as possible. A lot of the others need no introduction, and it looks like my first time with Surly will be a hell of a ride. I haven't heard of Fulton, but I love what it says on the back label of Worthy Adversary RIS: "Complexity and approachability can and should coexist in beer." I feel like I could have written that .

Josh- this box is well chosen and will be thoroughly appreciated. Thanks again, cheers!

 

I don't think it makes its way down here yet. Maybe I should have said Lower Hudson Valley . I do have a store in Rockland County NY that gets lots of the locals at the growler station; if I ever see Sloop I'll grab it on the spot. Thanks.

 

Nice, I'm in that area often, my wife is from Nyack, mother-in-law still lives there. Sister-in-law lives in Croton.

 

Whoa! Totally forgot crowlers are now an option, locally. This is very good news for my target.

 

Good place to be!

 

Nice box, @garymuchow sent Worthy Adversary last BIF, really enjoyed it!

 

Try to hit up Cable Beverages in Nanuet if you can when you're in the area- there's no place quite like it.

Also keep an eye out for the opening of Industrial Arts Brewing in Haversraw- the owner has quite a following from his days at Peekskill and Ithaca. Hopefully they will be firing on all cylinders right off the bat.

 

Outstanding haul! Not one of those beers is available in my neck of the woods, so I can only go by reputation, but I think you did well out of this!

 

I heard about Industrial Arts from the beer guy at DeCicco's, will definitely check it out, thanks!

 

For the first time in this BIF, I realized I should also look at my target's gots instead of just his ratings and wants. 12.68oz will not be coming after all.

 

I don't know, I want it, cause I want it...and always want more!

 

Well, the point is to have new beers. My target has rated so few beers on this site, I don't know if he's had the stuff in his gots or not.

 

Good point!

 

The problem is some of his stated preferred styles are someone limited, and I was rather proud of myself for thinking of it, cuz it's not that local but still fits the regional criteria (and it's been damn good in my limited experience).

 

A little extra can't hurt then...If my target saves all the beer just for NBS posts, it will take him a year!
