Food Adventuring Around NYC
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017… No, Rockaway’s Asparagus beer does not taste like asparagus. You never know with the crazy craft beer creations these days. But Rockaway focuses on more approachable and traditional beers. Despite the name, this session beer goes down very easy. It’s a full-on wheat beer with …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Maybe you’ve heard of this little Broadway show Hamilton. And maybe you’ve heard it’s impossible to get tickets. Well maybe the second best thing is to drink a beer made by Gun Hill Brewing with help from the cast of the musical. It makes sense that …
Welcome to a new segment on this blog. On Mondays get ready for a quick list of the best restaurants, dishes, or food trends in a certain category. There are so many great things to eat and drink in the city and think of this as your resource to find the absolute best. If you look …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. It’s so cool is how tight-knit the local craft beer world is in New York. Most times when I see a unique can being sold, it’s actually a collaboration between breweries. Oftentimes it’s a brewery in Queens and the Bronx coming together, but for Taco Wednesday …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… 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 …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… Bronx Brewery is doing so many great things and have now been more ubiquitous around town. Their take on a double IPA is no joke – hitting on all cylinders with a number of different hop varietals playing together for different levels of hoppiness …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… For Thanksgiving dessert, I popped open a bottle of Big Alice’s ambitious beer that is aged in used gin barrels. Granted this was a lot drier and more savory than I imagined with layers of sweetness and bold balanced acidity. Probably not the best beer …
I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016… The brewery side of Dirck the Norseman has been consistently putting out bizzare creations that challenge the concept of beer. My favorite this year was this wonderfully roasty and super tart wheat beer that surprises with rich, woody coffee notes and a balancing lemon …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City I’m doing something I’ve never done before on this blog. And that’s because I just came back from an adventure that was unlike anything I’ve ever done before in my life. For six weeks of the …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. SADLY, PAULANER BRAUHAUS IS NOW CLOSED. People look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them they can go to the Paulaner brewery on the Lower East Side. Anybody who knows much about beer, history, or Germany can tell you that Paulaner Brewery is an …
It’s been a while since I’ve visited Manhattan’s most centrally located brewery. It’s also a beer destination that many never think about. That’s because Birreria is hidden on the rooftop of the very popular Italian mega-grocer Eataly. But up here, a handful of brewers make some really unique cask-conditioned ales to pair with the restaurant’s …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Bronx is the new Queens. Did anyone ever expect that? Queens still reigns supreme in the sheer number of craft breweries that have opened there, but the Bronx is gaining steam. The borough now has Bronx Brewery, recently opened Chelsea Brewing Company, and Gun Hill. …
SADLY, CONEY ISLAND BREWING COMPANY IS NOW CLOSED. Most people only go out to visit Coney Island in the summer. Very few actually see it when only the residents are around in the dead of winter. It’s a very different place. I kind of like it because it’s quiet and nostalgic as the shops and …
SADLY, GREENPOINT BEER WORKS IS NOW CLOSED. Most New Yorkers have never heard of Greenpoint Beer Works, but oddd are they know the names of the beers that this commerical brewery produces. This is the home of Heartland Brewery’s production facility and also the place where Kelso and Cuzett Libations are made. It has only recently …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Since this is my third consecutive post about beer and breweries, it seems this week is dedicated to beer. Why not? It’s a good time to be a beer drinker in the city. I recently made …
I’ve been a fan of Bronx Brewery’s beers since I first tasted their pale ale in 2011. Now they have all grown-up and have a fully functioning brewery in the South Bronx which is open every single day to the public. Great beer, games, and a view of the brewhouse await you.
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Bronx Brewery is not a brand new brewery. Their beers have been circulating around the city for a few years now. But I think most people would be surprised to learn that it is only recently that they have been making beer in the Bronx.
Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. NYC Brewery Tour explores the growing craft brewery scene in the city and visits all the unlikely spots that are brewing fresh, delicious beer. You don’t need to hike all the way out to the beach to get a taste of …
My search for the best beer in New York continues…. Long Island City Is the place to be if you want to explore the New York craft beer scene. No other neighborhood (at this point) has as large of a concentration of breweries and beer bars. I’m sure the attraction comes from the large industrial …
There are lots of breweries to visit now in the city, but perhaps the most diverse is Threes Brewing out in Gowanus. It is a huge multi-use space where they often have live music, brew fantastic farmhouse beers, and have a rotating food pop-up. On this video, the food on offer was from smoked meat …
