Hey,

It’s time for my annual beer holiday and I am again starting from NYC at Feb 9 2016.

Current plan:

9 Feb - Arrival
10 Feb - LIC: Jeffreys, Rockaway, Big Alice, Alewife Queens, Rattle & Hum West...
11 Feb - Brooklyn: Threes, Owl Farm, Mission Dolores, Other Half...
12 Feb - Still open
13 Feb - Flight to Burlington

Looks like I again managed to book my flights/hotels week before NYC beer week but there seems to be lots of new interesting places for me.
Feel free to ask for trades. I can offer all the westys (blond,8,12) and REAL sahti which are propably most interesting from your point of view.

Janne

These two could be availalble possible because I happen to work on January near the only shops that sells those bottles. Lammin Sahti has somekind of new package, 2.8l "plastic bag". Small glass bottles also. I wonder what they will say at customs about that. I inform more later.
Both Finlandia Sahtis are easily available all the time.

no need for trades, but on the off chance I can get out of work at a reasonable time, I’m definitely down to meet up for some beers. As far as places go, I’d also recommend swinging by Beer culture if you’ve never been. It’s 5 blocks north of Rattle n’ Hum West and has a decent bottle selection available to go if you’re looking for some local NY stuff or american beers.

Finally at home and condition to write something understandable.
Some thoughts:
- Beer prices at Manhattan are getting ridiculous
- Next time when planning New York trip I definitely check when New York Beer Week is before buying tickets.
- Other Half beers are nectar to hopheads
- Other Half Brewery is paradise to hopheads. I couldn’t breathe naturally inside brewery because there was so much alpha acids in the air. Next morning at hotel my morning fart smelt hops.
- The Well was very nice surprise, best beer selection in NY? I wonder why this place has so few ratings.
