Ale Street Nights: Belgian Night in NYC →
Check out the review of the Ale Street Night: Belgian Night in NYC.
The Oregon Trail
On May 2nd I am leaving my New York and setting out on an adventure to find my future. The plan is simple: pack guitars, cooking supplies, bicycles, clothes, camera and girlfriend into car and go. The end destination is Portland, Oregon and the end goal is to find a deliciously awesome place to live where I can work in a brewery and learn a few things. Although I have a bunch of stops planned...
Belgian Night in NYC and the World's Rarest Beer
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to host my first ever beer event with Ale Street News and CityDusk. Ale Street Nights: Belgian Night In NYC was a celebration of beer, friends, and more obnoxiously delicious beer. The event consisted of a pair of beers at The Hop Devil Grill Lounge on St. Marks in the East Village followed by three pours, mussels and frites at the East Village Tavern on Ave...
Belgium, Boston, and Beer Wars
Three Things to Mention:
1. Head out to Belgian Night in NYC this Saturday at 4pm. I am teaming up with CityDusk (www.citydusk.com) and Ale Street News (www.alestreetnews.com) to bring a night of mussels, chocolate and, of course, delicious brews. Many tasty and hard-to-find Belgian-style American beers will be poured and the fine folks at Ale Street will be on-hand to chat about the great...
Who The Hell wants to go to Deleware?
“Delaware!? What’s in Delaware?” This is the typical response I received after inviting my friends on a four and a half hour trip to our nation’s first state. After their intrigue/astonishment/disgust would pass (most people I know have an innate distrust of states that are not New York) I would inform them that Rehoboth Delaware is home to the Dogfish Head Brewery, purveyor of the nation’s most...

Screw K-Rod! Which way to Shake Shack?
Being a Mets fan, you can imagine how excited I am for Citi Field to open. Unlike the diehard Shea Stadium fans that constantly pummel me with anti-Citi Field diatribes, I am looking forward to the new ballpark. After weeks of articles describing every nook and cranny of Citi Field and its cuisine, I came across this article investigating the food economics of the park. Whether or not the Mets...
Veijito Old Ale
Once I start brewing again I am going to create an Old Ale or Barleywine called Viejito Old Ale. It will be big, hairy and delicious, just like my grandfather’s current beard. Hopefully Viejito will be able to induce that glasses-falling-off-face look.
For one second, put down the fork
After work today I cracked open a bottle of Oatmeal stout and started chomping down a few oatmeal chocolate chips cookies that were sent my way as a gift. I’ve been reading Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma lately and came across a line that I find very poignant: “The pleasures of the table begin with eating…but they can end up anywhere human talk cares to go. In the same way the raw...
