Breweries, Brew Pubs In New York Area?

[devo]

SWMBO and I may be heading over to the U.S soon staying in New York for a few weeks. I was wondering if anyone knew of or could suggest any micro breweries or brew pubs worth checking out while we are over there?

I have looked into this previously:

Breweries: Six Point, Brooklyn Brewery

Venues: Rattle'n'Hum is the one i really want to check out

goto http://www.beermenus.com/ for inspiration

mmm Rattle'n'hum has some nice events involving cask ales planned for August. B)

Ross and the winner of the BABBs annual comp will be in NY as well in August, so you can have a mini AHB forum meeting while you are there (assuming BABBs winner is a forum-ite, most are)

Beer Bars: Blind Tiger and Gingerman

Beer shops Newbeer just near whole foods bowery

Breweries, Captain Lawrence, but its a fair hike out of the city

also ratebeer and beer advocate,

Must visit bars-
The Blind Tiger (an ABSOLUTE must... well ... the original location was, I haven't made it to the new one yet)
The Spyten Dyvil (Belgian style specialists, both American and Belgian made)
Barcade (great US craft beer and cool old computer games)

Chelsea Brewing is also well worth a visit for good beer in a very pretty location overlooking the water.
Brooklyn Brewery is not open to the public but the beers are reasonably well available.

I highly recomend joining Beeradvocate.com and posting in the New York section.... those guys are well up to date and likely to join you for a beer.

I'll be heading over in October for my honeymoon. My girl hates beer but I've managed to convince her to let me go to a few good bars

Through the links above (can't remember which one) I found a PDF file of more the 10mb in size listing all of the good beer bars and restaurants in NYC, complete with pics and reviews. It was something like 150 pages long and now I've lost the file and can't find the link to d'load it :angry: If anyone comes across it and posts the link it would be much appreciated

Found it Beer Demystifier

 

[devo]

fly out first thing tomorrow morning....thanks everyone for all the tips/urls etc. I will hopefully post some reports and pics of my drinking adventures.

I spent yesterday arvo at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria, Queens which had a pretty good range of beer on tap as well as some great Czech food.



Some of the notable brews on tap were Urquel, Staropramen, blue point, Sixpoint, Summer Ale etc.

Devo,

Pocket Beers & myself arrive Friday evening & staying in Manhatten with Zizzle, you still going to be around?

Cheers Ross

 

[devo]

Awesome a AHB brew meeting NY style. I'm still hanging around for a few weeks so it would great to catch up for some fine seppo ales. PM me when you hit town.

BTW I just got back from laying about in central park all day, 30 degree c and drinking these tasty buggers.
