Message DSG P beers 25798 º places 162 º 10:18 Tue 1/31/2017 Thanks for the recommendations. I stay at the UWS, but plan to hit some places outside of Manhattan as well. Any must-go places? Last time I was in NYC was 2008, and there’s so many more places nowadays... BTW, any bars do flights/samples?
Message Jow P beers 7344 º places 487 º 10:43 Tue 1/31/2017 Most breweries are in outer boroughs if any in particular catch your fancy I can probably offer advice I’ve been to most of them some aren’t easy to get to though. A nice Sunday could be take subway to either KCBC or Interboro (2 new breweries I haven’t been to yet), have a drink or two then walk to Roberta’s for best pizza in the world then walk to the other brewery and train home from there. 1.5 miles total walking (Roberta’s in middle) both open at noon. Anyways I plan on doing this someday although Grimm is going to open in that area as well sometime this year which will really be quite a day.

Many of them do flights or various sized pours for the Manhattan ones off the top of my head - Haymaker and Rattle n Hum West have small pour option on all their drafts Ginger Man and Rattle n Hum East both do flights, but not when it’s super busy As Is and Beer Culture - I can’t remember, but I don’t think they do flights Pony Bar is closing on 2/5

Message ben4321 P beers 11312 º places 628 º 13:17 Tue 1/31/2017 LIC is also a solid outside Manhattan option that is easy to get to by subway from Manhattan. Transmitter, Alewife, and LIC Beer Company are all good places. Rockaway and Big Alice are okay too, and worth a stop if you are already in the area.
Message jredmond beers 10321 º places 301 º 23:31 Tue 1/31/2017 If you go to George Keeleys in the UWS, be sure to check out Joe’s right across the street and The Beer Shoppe a block or two away. I can’t believe Pony HK location is shutting down. Damn.
Message DSG P beers 25798 º places 162 º 07:52 Sun 2/5/2017 Driving around Hudson Valley with a friend today, catching a train to the city tomorrow morning. I’ve got a spare bottle of Trillbomb for trade or sale at brewery price. Also got a couple of Israeli beers to give away. Let me know if you’re interested. What breweries are most recommended to visit?
Message charule beers 2306 º places 121 º 10:19 Sun 2/5/2017 Im partial to Other Half in Brooklyn but its not open on Mondays. i usually have better luck finding interesting brews in bars.

Message jredmond beers 10321 º places 301 º 01:06 Mon 2/6/2017 As Is (50th and 10th Avenue) does 4oz samples and probably has one of the best selections as of the past year (including cans of Other Half & Grimm for ’on-site’ consumption).
Message MaxxDaddy P beers 415 º places 32 º 08:14 Mon 2/6/2017 I’d put LIC Beer Project and Threes as 2nd and 3rd on the list of breweries behind Other Half. Let me know if you want to meet up some time this week. Only night I probably can’t do is Wednesday.
