Talea Beer Co.

They never really get much attention, but I haven’t had a bad beer from them, and outside of this recent pause they’ve done a great job of making their stuff pretty widely available.

 

They make very, very good beer. Less important, obviously, but I love their branding and can art too. The whole operation is very well put together.

 

I dunno, does their can art: https://www.taleabeer.com/our-beers/
really differ that much from these guys? https://imprintbeer.com/

will check them out next time I'm in NYC.

 

Uh, these 2 styles of can art look nothing alike.





@Justonemore91 thanks for the recommendation. Craft beer is an awfully saturated market, so word of mouth goes far. I'll check them out if I ever see them in my local.

 

I have no problem with either can art. Neither really grabs me nor repels me. I'm just in it for the beer. I'm a STEM guy...my wife is the graphic designer.

 

Haven’t had any since being out of the city since March. But the two I had earlier in the year, Brightside (6.5% NEIPA) and Raspberry Crush (5.2% Raspberry Gose), were both A’s for me.

 

I know I'm one of like 7 people nationwide still beating the "brut IPAs are good, actually" drum but Talea's is one of the best I've had in the style.

 

I picked up a can of Power Couple with a Taprm order and thought it was really impressive. I'll have to check out Half Time to see if they have more.

 

Construction on their brewery is moving along in Williamsburg: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIW3GVyFaBN/

I don't know the exact address but they've said it is at the corner of Leonard Street and Richardson Street, a block south of McCarren Park.

 

Looks like nothing available for delivery via TapRm?

 

Everything about these brewers excites me. This is excellent beer. Their new space in Brooklyn is AMAZING!

 

How is possible they don't deliver to Fort Greene tho?!?

 

next time I'm in BK for an OH pickup. I'll make sure I make a stop here

 

Is it that surprising? Ft. Greene is comfortably beyond what I would call "nearby." They're pretty much as far from Ft. Greene as one can be while still being in Williamsburg.

Plus I'm sure you get their cans somewhere nearby.

 

Its strange though, if you go to Myrtle/Clinton, you're good. I'm just a bit surprised that by using DoorDash, they have such a small delivery footprint. Regardless, they emailed me yesterday and said that they are looking to expand soon. I can meet the delivery guy outside of Cardiff Giant until then.

 

Went to the taproom for the first time last night. Beautiful space, immediately one of the coolest taprooms in the city for me. They have tables on the sidewalk on both sides of the building and a courtyard on the side as well. Lots of capacity, but it was still mobbed and has been basically since they opened from what I understand. I'd recommend making a reservation.

They did just jump to being one of the city's priciest breweries, though. $9 for 12 ounce IPA pours, and for to-go $22 IPA 4-packs and $24 for some of the sours.

 

Copped 4 different IPA/DIPA 4 pks last night, every one of them extremely soft and well balanced. Anyone know who their brewer is?
