brooklyn homebrew tour
November 9th, 2009
Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend the day on a Brooklyn Homebrew Tour, led by the courageous beer aficionado Joshua Bernstein. I say ‘courageous’ as you’d have to be in order to lead 25 progressively drunker beer nerds throughout the borough of Brooklyn via subway, herding them into apartments to taste the projects of 4 different homebrewers.
It was an awesome time, and the beers were amazing. Here is a general list stolen from Julie, as I was too, uh, distracted to keep track of what was going down: Red Ale, Oatmeal Stout, Pumpkin Ale, a really delicious lemony IPA, Aventinus, Bourbon Vanilla Porter, an uber hoppy snappy IPA, Blond Ale, Rye IPA, California Common.
Best. Idea. Ever.
