My gym’s magazine rack wasn’t the first place I expected to see this publication. Nevertheless, it exists and that’s all that matters. Danny, you should receive the group’s first of six issues in a few weeks.

Beer Club Criminals

There was a new first to Beer Club last night. After much shitty beer was drunk and Kimbo Slice fights were YouTubed, it was time to leave. But Clayton and I each had the brilliant idea to take one more beer for the road. Bad move. Just we were about to walk down the subway platform, there was cop a the bottom of the stairs, and his eyes immediately went to the brown bottles he had in our hands. “I hope that’s apple juice,” he said. You can imagine how the rest goes from here. We were issued open-container summonses, which will cost us each $25. Oh well, live and learn. Danny, how dare you let us take those road sodas with us. This is all your fault.

Hey Guys,
I came across a good site that gets into the SRM color of different types of beer. Thought it was pretty interesting:

New Beer Site

cmkearns — Sat, 03 May 2008 15:36:24 +0000

Here’s a very cool new beer website that’s New York specific: www.beermenus.com. You can search by beer to find all of the bars in New York that serve that beer. (For example, there are 73 bars that serve Guinness, and 1 bar that serves Dogfish Head’s 120 Minute IPA.) You can also search bars by neighborhood and find out how many beers that bar has (both bottle and on tap), and see what new beers are being delivered bars around the city. They also have a list of upcoming beer events. The one big downside to the site is it doesn’t include Brooklyn and all of its fine bars. But it’s a start.

Great Manhattan Beer Store

Last Friday after work, I stopped in a beer store that my ladyfriend had told me about after she bought me a couple rare IPAs for my birthday. It’s called New Beer Distributors, Inc., and it’s located in the Lower East Side. It looks like a dive bar from the outside (and the inside, too; it’s basically a warehouse), but on the inside they have a great selection, both domestic and foreign. What’s more, the prices are better than Bierkraft.

I purchased a 6 of Acme IPA, which I served at my beer club gathering in February. I’m drinking one right now. It just might be my new favorite IPA. I may even have a second one tonight.

Anyway, if you find yourself on at Chrystie and Rivington anytime soon, and you feel like getting some quality brews, stop by.
