Hola Amigos! Long time since I dropped some news so I figured it would be best to catch up our readers on what's been flowing these days at Press 195! As the temperature drops our beer offerings will start to explore the darker, heartier malty beers that seem to pair well with cold weather. One of the best beers I have tried as of late fits right into this category, Southhampton Imperial Porter. With distinct malt overtones and caramel highlights, this beer gets better as it sits which is typical of this style of beer. Hence, a nice winter sipper. Ratebeer.com scores this beer a 96 out of 100 so it is a must try! New to our draft lines this week is Fire Island Brewery's Lighthouse Ale, a crisp amber ale that is reminiscent of Colorado's Fat Tire Ale, which has a tremendous following out West. Another beer just hitting the draft lines is Blue Point's Winter Ale. With a bit more hops than most Winter ale's, it opens on a sweet note and finishes with a slight hop taste that leaves your mouth happy! Well, enough talk from me, here is the latest beer list!
