Other Half December 2018

I meant West! Living on the east of Manhattan for 7+ years now I should have that figured out...

 

beermenus

I reckon this should be pinned on all the NYC area brewery monthly threads. I know it’s not bullet proof but it’s a solid start

 

I use Beermenus all the time, but it's most useful if you have a specific beer to look up. Since OH has a bunch of stuff in rotation in bars at any given time, and an out-of-towner may not be keyed into what's making the rounds, I'd probably suggest going to their Untappd brewery profile, and using the "Find It" section.

I've noticed that many of the good beer bars here are updating their Untappd menu just as often, if not more often, than their Beermenus, and I find it more productive when looking for any general beer from a brewery.

 

Yeah that works for sure as well / instead of. Should prob be referenced too. But you know you can do brewery level searches on BM too right? Sorry if stating obvious, but it’s something that a surprising number of people don’t know about.

I did not know that, pretty much negates my point haha, thanks for the tip.

 

The taproom was a madhouse today. Since when did they start doing 8oz pours only for the higher abv stuff?

 

Dear other half,

Just brew beers like the latest batch of all green everything. That is all.

Sincerely,
annoying fanboy

 

Was hoping for a Friday and I have a half-day off from work release...

 

They have AGE and nelson here today.

Place is too crowded for a 3PM on Friday.

 

I was there around 1pm and starting thinking the same thing.

New batch of AGE is superb. Tremendous Cream as a 10% kindred spirit was also quite good, but not quite up to same level. A little sweeter but still enjoyable enough that I filled a 64oz of it for NYE festivities.

 

Looks like Front Range Daydream was a surprise addition to today’s Rochester release.

 

Wasn't there a stout collab too

 

Triple Nelson is interesting. I don’t get the sense that lactose is involved in this one but I think thats because the alcohol is pretty prevalent. Its a bit hot for sure. Has the nice white wine characteristic from the Nelson.

AGE is dynamite though.

 

Any line updates for today? Thanks.

 

Just left. Still a little line half way down Smith.

 

Blueberry crunchee is amazing

 

Definitely better than I was expecting but don’t think I’d want more than a couple ounces of it.

Daydreamiest is tasting awesome though.

Also, there were canning what looked to a be a Dollar Slice and Cheddar combo beer this morning. #staytunedformore
