Thou mayest click on for greater illumination • I have to say that I have really enjoyed everything I have had by the Middle Ages Brewing Co. of Syracuse NY from trips to pubs and the odd beer I have brought back. But last time I was in a central New York beer shop I realized that there is more …

I picked up these five a while ago from Ithaca's Finger Lake Beverage Center and I thought it was about time to put them on the reviewing stage. I have not visited the brewery which is located just to the south east of the Adirondacks about half way between the state capital of Albany and Lake …
New York: Black Chocolate Stout, Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn
Posted by on Monday, October 10, 2005 in - 1 comment
According to Lew Bryson in his book New York Breweries, this is the beer that got Garrett Oliver the job as brewmaster at Brooklyn in 1994: • “He'd been brewing at a brewpub, Manhattan Brewing, since 1989. He could see the writting on the wall there, and one day when no one was in, he brewed up … read more »
New York: Southern Tier Brewing, Lakewood

I have written about Southern Tier's porter a couple of times and reviewed the IPA. All but the Hop Sun were in a variety twelve along with the porter that I picked up at the beginning of July - again obeying the golden rule of variety twelves (all ales and four styles please). I have enjoyed …

I am on summer holidays and the blog is at the mercy of my interest in posting but I have to say that the Adirondack Pub and Brewery in Lake George, New York is pretty good.

I have had this bottle at the back of the fridge for a while. And I know the photo is not as sharp as it might be. But I like it. And I like this beer. This is the upgrade from High Falls Brewing of Rochester, (land of the garbage plate) the brewers for decades (or rather successors of brewers) of …

Another variety pack from New York state, another reason to wonder why we organize our lives like we do in Canada. Saranac is the main brand of the Matt Brewing Company of Utica to the right of Syacuse about an hour and twenty minutes south then east from here. Last year I bought a mixed twelve of …

The <i>New York Times</i> on Summer Ales
Posted by on Wednesday, June 29, 2005 in - 1 comment
Have a look at today's article in the NYT on some ales for your consideration this summer. It amazes me how many columns there are on wine but so few on beer, especially given how big we all know beer is. Check-out the interactive feature, audio with a slide-show, to the left of the Times article.

We visited the Sackets Harbor Brewing Co. in the North Country of New York State last weekend. Sitting at the eastern end of Lake Ontario in the bay that once saw one-half of the US navy located there around two hundred years ago, the brew pub is in one of the prettiest settings around for a glass …
