To say that I've been excited about this new beer bar opening would be an understatement. Mr. T and I had been scouring every media source on a daily basis in the weeks leading up to its opening. If you haven't heard yet it's helmed by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergso from Evil Twin Brewery and Daniel Burns a Momofuku alum. The two have been collaborating on this project for a while and the space finally opened last week Friday out in Greenpoint. I practically ran out of work that day to check it out. What I found was amazing...
Yeah that's right a Cantillon....you would think that was enough excitement but then I took a look at their bottle menu...
There has never been a beer menu that reads like this. The amount of rare and incredible bottles was straight up amazing.
Like the Cantillon Blaber 2010...
And a Cantillon Fou Foune...I've been here three times in the last week because I can't help not knowing what they might pull out next. One of the best parts about this place is where its located. Greenpoint doesn't get a ton of tourist traffic so unless your into great beer you probably won't venture out here. That means most of the crowd will be just as excited and into beer as you are when you arrive. When food service starts in a few months it might just make sense for Mr. T and I to move to Greenpoint :)

They incorporated a "flux capacitor" for the beer lines which serves each brew at its proper temperature and pressure. On these taps are some of the best beers from Evil Twin Brewery like the delicious Even Better Than Jesus (in three different variations) and some great lambics like the Cantillon Kriek.
