Nov 2009

Hola Amigos! Hard to believe it's November already but the whipping winds and cold rain tonight are sure to make you remember. Some great beers coming this way as winter time always provides some great Winter ales. We currently have one of the last kegs of Blue Point Octoberfest but are soon to be placing their excellent Winter offering on. Also new to the taps is Coney Island Lager, an easy drinker that is mellow, a tad sweet and low on carbonation. We already have been receiving good feedback from it. Here is the current list:


ON DRAFT
Speakeasy Prohibition Ale (San Francisco): Brand new on the East Coast, this is a boldly hopped amber ale that strikes a perfect balance between caramel maltiness and hoppy goodness. 6.1% abv
Coney Island Lager (Brooklyn): Step right up and witness the delectable alchemy of 8 malts, 6 hops, and Czech pilsner yeast. Discover the thrill of old world brewing with new world flavor. This is a lively carbonated beer that is a bit darker than your standard lager. 5.5% abv
Radeberger Pilsner (Germany): Long enjoyed by German nobility, this is the world’s most famous pilsner. One sip and you will know why! Super refreshing and very smooth! 4.7% abv

Keegan’s Mother’s Milk (Kingston, NY): From our good friend Tom Keegan comes this fantastic beer. As the name implies, this is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course milk, give this stout a remarkably smooth finish. 5.5% abv
Blue Point Oktoberfest (Patchogue, NY): Oktoberfest was originally brewed in 1810 to celebrate the betrothal of the Crown Prince of Bavaria, Blue Point continues the celebration by traditionally brewing this special malty amber lager every October.
