NYC Craft Beer Week Wrap-Up

Lobster and I made it out to some more events during Craft Beer Week.

TUESDAY NIGHT - WEST VILLAGE

Venue: Blind Tiger Ale House

Featured Brewery: The Bruery (though per passport Sixpoint)

Beer Sampled: Hottenroth Berliner Weisse

Alien - cloudy, pale, tart, delicious, sour apple-y, a very good sour, but not as good as Ommegang Zuur (Alien's favorite)

Lobster - smells like hamster pee, sour, nice, like beer-ade

Beer Sampled: Autumn Maple (cask)

Alien - red in color, honey and maple, delicious
Lobster - didn't like it
Beer Sampled: 7 Grain Saison
Alien - very good, smells more like a beer than tastes like it

Lobster - abnormally drinkable, much better cold (previously drank it at the Cask Festival)

Beer Sampled: Barrel Aged Coton

Alien - tastes like liquor, Southern Comfort-ish, very dark in color

Lobster - yuck, like hard alcohol or after dinner drink, smells like caramel, molasses

Beer Sampled: Brett Blond

Alien - little darker than 7 Grain Saison, a little red-ish, tastes Belgian

Lobster - like black tea
