A fine beer is the toast of the evening
Seattle Post Intelligencer – Dec 24, 2007
Here are some suggestions. Throughout the eveningElysian Bifr?Winter Ale. This seasonal winter brew from Seattle’s Elysian Brewery is definitely meant for Northwest hop-heads. Bitter citrus hops dominate along with a sharp bite from the 7. 5-percent alcohol content. The finish is smoothed out with pale malt but not enough to let you forget about the hops.

4%Being a New York State beer drinker this makes me wonder if the rest of the country knows and appreciates the incredible things that are happening at the Southern Tier Brewing Company.

Black with a pillowy tan head that dissipates quickly as it wrestles with the 11% abv brew. You’re not ready for how chocolatey this smells… 4%Being a New York State beer drinker this makes me wonder if the rest of the country knows and appreciates the incredible things that are happening at the Southern Tier Brewing Company.

5 | service: 5 | selection: 4 – $$rDev: +4%I have been here a few times in the past I would go more often if I lived in the neighbourhood. This is really a great place for Manhattan as there has been a need for a store that fills growlers like this. You can walk up and pick up a fresh 64oz of good local beer. They have one Sixpoint beer the Eight days of week always on tap. Decnet beer and a good price at $7 a growler. They usually have another Sixpoint as well as Brooklyn Capt Lawrence and a few other locals. Bottlewise the selection is very good but not the best in the city.
