Updated beer list for December 8th 2008!

Winter is officially here as Bayside saw its first snowfall last night. Not too much but enough to awaken the desire for dark beers! This week we have a few very special additions to our list. The two highlights include Jewbilation 12, a limited edition strong brown ale from the makers of the HeBrew series, and Kruscovice Dark, a schwarzbier style Czech beer. Its rare to see a European beer on our draft system so you know this one is special! Well hoppy holidaze to you all! See you at Press!

Served in 12 oz. glasses, grab one now as this is limited and will not be back for a year! 12% abv

Krusovice Dark (Czech Republic): “Krus” is a classic Czech black beer or Schwarzbier which in simple terms is a dark lager beer. Don’t be fooled by the opaque, black color, this is much milder and less bitter than any dark beer you have tasted. Remarkably smooth! 4.9% abv

September 9th 2008 Beers of the week


We have another great batch of beer this week for your drinking pleasure. New on tap is a great hoppy offering from Brooklyn's Six Point brewery, Hop Obama. I have been told that if Obama wins they will continue production. Let's hope for the sake of the country that Six Point is still brewing this come December. In bottles, the fall season is here and that means a pumpkin spiced beer, we chose upstate NY's Southern Tier's Pumpking ale. Sweet, delicious with slight hints of pumkin spice, not overbearing like many others out there. Here is the current list:
