LI Beer & Malt T-shirts….

I have to thank Phil Ebel for putting this together as we now have some great LI Beer & Malt T-shirts, which were authorized by a group vote at the 2nd LIBME Meeting at The Black Forest in October. I hope everyone likes them as they are relatively inexpensive and they support the group directly [...]

Oysters and SPAT

Next on the tour, we sat on the beach in Greenport, NY, passed a good time, and ate oysters fresh off the boat at the Pipes Cove Oysters Farm. I am not a big fan of raw oysters — more of a texture thing, but I’ve tried my share in Louisana. Fried [...]

Variety Is The Spice Of Life! Out Of Towner, The Pumpkin Patch, The Feast Of Fests, And Verticals Are Here!!!

The past "Out of towner" 6 packs and singles have been a great success! So what do you do with success? Try to repeat it of course!
This time I am making more stuff available.
If you are not familiar with the "Out of towner", this is what it is...
  I have some friends/customers who travel a bit. When they are at a beer store in another state, they give me a call, and then pick stuff up for me that we can not get here on L.I. It's a little pricey, because I have to pay retail for everything, plus throw something to my "Beer Travelers" as I call them. The 6 packs are $17.99 and the singles are all over the place from $6.99 to $14.99. Not insane, but not cheap either. At the same time, it's not often you have such easy access to this stuff. For me, it's just cool to be able to offer my customers & friends the opportunity to try different stuff. 

There are 2 Out of towner 6 packs, and 4 Out of towner singles available now.

Terrapin Rye Pale Ale

I have been selling these for weeks, but I just realized I never put it up on the blog. I just made up my last batch of pumpkins, and will do my last batch of Oktoberfests on Monday.

Continuing my mixed seasonals tradition I again have the "Feast of fests" which is a  6 pack of 6 different Oktoberfests with 3 domestic, and 3 imports.
  The "Pumpkin Patch" is a mixed 4 pack of pumpkin beers, all of which include at least 1 premium pumpkin.

Verticals will be put together later this week, keep an eye on the blog for that!

It was a challenging brew session, but we hit the target Original Gravity. Stay tuned for word on where this might be available.
