Beer BRIAN'S 100 Best '16

100 BEST ’16: HOT TODDY at CONEY ISLAND BREWING COMPANY

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

SADLY, CONEY ISLAND BREWING COMPANY IS NOW CLOSED.

First they did it with sodas, like Root Beer and Cream Soda. Now Coney Island Brewing Company has turned to famous cocktails to inspire their beers. The Hot Toddy is an unlikely beer style, but it works wonders. The strong ale (12.5% ABV) is fermented with honey, cinnamon, and lemons. It is then aged on whiskey barrel staves before being served hot or cold. Yes, it’s beer, but you’d be forgiven if you thought you were actually drinking a cocktail. .Price Varies.
