NYC Tastes

For today's New Brew Friday we're checking out Three's Day of the Dead- an American IPA brewed as their first can release. Day of the Dead pours a muddy orange color with almost no head and an interesting nose of pine, tropical fruits and a touch of mint.  Mango, biscuit and pine flavors balance each other nicely making this just a really enjoyable beer and at only 6.9%.  What a welcome change from all of the big IPA's and DIPA's on the market right now.  This completely hits the mark. Cheers to the weekend! Threes Brewing 333 Douglass Street at 4th Avenue New York, NY 11217

So many great things going on this weekend in the NYC beer world I need to take a break from drinking great beer just to talk about them.    Threes Brewing -    Today at 3:00 PM Threes Brewing will be doing their 1st ever can release of two different brews; an IPA Day of the Dead and the Vliet Pilsner.  They made a bunch of these so the limit is 2 cases per style.  Time to load up for those summer BBQ's and beach days. Other Half - Saturday Other Half will be doing another triple can release this time Grits 'n' Greens Pilsner brewed with Creature Comforts,  No Lays Up imperial IPA brewed with The Answer Brewpub in Virginia and finally their imperial amarillo IPA Suparillo.  The release starts at 10:00 AM but it would be best to be in line early because these beers will certainly sell out quickly.

It's New Brew Friday and the kickoff of Memorial Day weekend!  I have big plans for BBQing, seeing lots of friends and of course enjoying a few delicious beverages along the way from these local breweries. Both Grimm and Threes Brewing are based out of Brooklyn. While Grimm doesn't have a brick and mortar spot as of yet they have been absolutely killing the beer scene with their bottle and cans releases all year; the most recent of which includes Dreamweapon an IPA brewed with El Dorado and Columbus hops and Future Perfect a Blueberry/Blackberry Berliner Weisse that sounds perfect for crushing in the hot sun tomorrow. Threes on the other hand has been running an enormous brewpub with food, beer garden and a full bar for over a year now.   However last weekend was their first ever bottle release.  Eternal Return is a Brett beer aged in oak barrels; the 500ml with raspberries and the 750ml with Chardonnay grape must. We tried out the raspberry last weekend a...
