Hola amigos and welcome to Spring 2010! Been a while since I spoke with everybody and this was flagged by loyal reader Kim B. so thanks for the nudge to get back on track! Since we last spoke we have had some great additions to the draft line-up here in Bayside. Some key highlights include the great Muddy Creek lager from nearby
Defiant brewery (Pearl River, NY) , the amazingly hopped
Lagunitas IPA which is a superb offering and one hell of a pale ale from Maryland
Flying dog brewery . Here is the current list:
DRAFTSDefiant Muddy Creek Lager (New York): A local favorite!
From our neighbors over the GW Bridge in Rockland County. This is a great American Amber Lager that is crisp with light floral notes and a slightly hoppy finish. A great beer for warm summer days! 5.6% abv
Blue Point Spring Ale (Patchogue): A local favorite! Alas Spring is here and that only means a new seasonal from our friends at Blue Point. This is a copper ale with hints of rye, citrus and hop overtones. A great thirst quencher. Try one, bet you’ll have another! 6% abv
Radeberger Pilsner (Germany): Long enjoyed by German nobility, this is the world’s most famous pilsner. One sip and you will know why! Super refreshing and very smooth! 4.7% abv
Lagunitas IPA (CA): Available for years at Press in bottle, overwhelming demand has brought it to the taps! Made from 43 different hops and 65 malts, this is one mighty IPA. If you like the hops then you’ll love this! 22 oz. 5.9% abv
Keegan’s Mothers Milk (Kingston, NY): As the name implies, is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course milk, give this stout a remarkably smooth finish. 5.5% abv
Magic Hat #9 (Vermont): A rather dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not quite pale ale that has been a staple at Press 195 for 5 years! #9 will continue to win over new drinkers. Spicy food will taste even better with this brew! 4.6% abv
