When in NYC...

Solid effort! Hit a ton of places man. Even on Epic Beer Day™ (where my brother in law and I tried to make a point of hitting as many places and getting as drunk as possible, prior to his first kid being born) I didn't hit anything close to what you squeezed in.

 

Thanks for the discussion, Well for the one-day visitor to New York — especially the first-timer — is mind-boggling. I must say these are major attractions: Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art.

 

I suggest NYC wise
Singlecut
LIC
Keg and lantern ( best IPA's in Brooklyn)
Greenpoint beer and ales

If you drive up to Hudson valley I suggest

Industrial arts
Sloop
Surarz
Rushing duck
(Hudson valley) if opened
And Peekskill
Driving wise I think this is very doable

 

Skimmed through pretty quickly, and didn't see any mention of LIC Beer Project. That is a MUST DO for Queens.

Would recommend sticking to the city since don't have to worry about drinking and driving/finding a DD.

 

IMO, a great way to NYC daydrink: 2/3 to Barclays, Threes, Strong Rope, Other Half* (subway time to sober up a bit!)

Then, this becomes a choose your own adventure!

From Other Half: F to LIC Beer, Astoria Beer and Cheese Ditmars, SingleCut

At that point, you're basically in Long Island and your night probably ends


Or, rather than heading right to queens
From Other Half: G to Torst, Keg and Lantern, Greenpoint Beer and Ale. I definitely recommend checking out Greenpoint. Their tap list is quite diverse and awesome.


Then choose a new adventure!
From here you could G back up to LIC and resume that stuff

OR walk to Interboro (another chance to sober up a bit!) and then take the L to KCBC (and then Finback, while seemingly far most the time, is kind of close to KCBC).


Also any of these areas have a number of good bars. You could visit St. Gambrinus right off the 2/3 and then Owl Farm on your walk to Other Half. In LIC you could check out Ale Wife, etc
