Hi Folks Could you please help me?. I would like to know if there is someone who knows how many brewpubs there are in the big apple? or more likely the big beer mug New York ?. I can't find the figures on ratebeer. I have googled it, and I found out that NY has more than 400 breweries, but I couldn't find any figures on, how many of these which are brewpubs. The reason why I need to know this is: I am a photographer who got fired, and at the newspaper, where I work, we have a right to 'continuing education' or courses. Since there are no jobs as a photographer to apply for in Denmark at the moment, and since I have had a dream of starting up a brewpub in Denmark for several years, I will try to convince my head manager of the newspaper, that it`s a great idea to have one or two weeks of practice at a brewpub in New York. so I can see and learn more about what it takes to run a brewpub. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on Brew pubs which make great and modern beers. My own approach to beers are to create exstreme and easy drinking beers with a personal touch. Thank you very much and happy new year. Cheers André Thorup Fantastbryg Denmark
Hi André - man continuing ed if you get fired! We need that over here. Not to put the question back on you, but how are you defining brewpub? When I think of them, I’m thinking of a generally “microbrewing”-era place that as well as brewing the beer (and serving a large chunk of it) on premise, also has a restaurant. I’m not sure what the exact legal definition is, but that’s what I think of. So places like Heartland (avoid) and one or two others like Birreria and a place down in the south village close to the west side highway that I’m blanking on (that may not even still be going). I’m not sure if somewhere like Threes Brewing qualifies, or if the separate restaurant ownership (right?) + amount of beer leaving the brewery means it’s not a brewpub. My guess is that legally it’s not, even though in practice there are a lot of similarities. I guess let us know exactly what you’re looking to achieve / gain from the experience and we can share some ideas. edit - reading my post and it makes little sense. Sorry. #monday
Your ideal model for this is Brown's in Troy. Have been around 25 years, plenty of people come in just to eat and not drink (place can probably seat around 200 not even including a big outdoor patio, and their portfolio appeals to both people that have been coming forever and saying 'lemme get something like Bud Light' and serious beer geeks who want an IPA with new, experimental hops or a beautiful French saison.
Mill House came up in another thread. It’s in Poughkeepsie which is a couple hours north by car/train. Also is this one of those threads where someone sets up an account, posts a question, and then never returns?
