got tickets for the Veil's Zwanze Day just in time last night. super excited for it. second year in a row I'm going to a Zwanze Day and it's going to be a blast.

 

I want to try and go this year but haven't seen anything yet for tickets in the Boston/Portland area going on sale

 

@Anthony_ you were right... the bottle share is a part of the event Saturday and I do not have any bottles. also looks like it sold out!

 

Gotta get some stuff before then!

Also check this out:



You can find me by where he’s set up from when it opens until he runs out of beers haha. I bought the ticket mainly because this dude is going to be there. Will also post up by Hudson Valley for a bit too.

 

If you’re looking for more off the beaten path bottle shops to find some stuff I can point you in the right direction

 

I have bottles already for Saturday but I would also like to go to there plz fire away

 

always looking for recommendations

 

First of all, wish I was gonna be there on Saturday. Would've been nice to meet both of you. Guess we will have to wait once I have time to plan this NY-NJ bottle share.

As far as the info, I find a lot of these places have good bottles:

- The Bottle Shop @ Threes - I've mentioned this a few times on here. Threes beer is good in its own right, but their buyer has great taste and gets things most shops don't.

- Urban Barley - A little overpriced, but if you missed out on previous Grimm releases or looking for last year's Goose Island BCS releases, its good. Also has some other gems.

- Beer Boutique - Surprised more people in Williamsburg aren't aware of it. Pretty solid distribution from all over.

- Good Beer - Seems to get priority distribution for anything new that drops in NYC.

 

thank you!

Beer Boutique was my go-to when I lived in the neighborhood although I discovered it way too late. will probably stop there on my way home from work.

 

The owners a nice but a bit strange. I also don’t understand why they do draft fills in what look like re-used sprite bottles.

 

You’re right by me!

 

I’ve actually had St. Lam once on draft, it was excellent! Really looking forward to trying it in the bottle.

I’m extremely picky about IPAs - not generally a style I like. But I’ve enjoyed Aurora Hoppyalis, Fresh-Squeezed (particularly on draft), Pliny the Elder, and some of Firestone Walker’s beers.

I’m much more into stouts. I’ve tried the mud cake once and I found it too sweet. Bomb!, Sumi Cacao, Big Bad Baptista, and Xocoveza are some favorites that come to mind but honestly there’s so many. I think Founders Breakfasts stout was the first beer I tried that I loved.

 

Barrel aged Sumatra mountain brown from founders is the truuuuuttthhhh. Worth a four pack, imo, easily.

 

Just had the Barrel Aged Bull Proof from O'Dell... that was nice.

 

It’s a Troon kinda day

 

Good to know! Sounds really good, will definitely get some for when it cools down a bit outside.

 

Let’s get a beer at one of aforementioned places!

 

Want to try this so bad!

 

Now. Drinking.

 

Drinking a hybrid aged Belgian sour/rauchbier rn at Dovetail and it is wild

 

Happy LDW to all

 

Suarezzzzzz

 

Had a 3f Hommage last night and it was one of the best beers I’ve had in awhile. Also had a Suarez peach beer who’s name is escaping me.

 

Summer Whoa?

 

Yep
