New Beer Menu February 4th 2010

Hey now! Greetings to a brand new 2010. We look forward to a year filled with joy, prosperity and good beer!

With the new year comes several new bottles to whet your whistle. This week we are excited to feature Troegs Nugget Nectar in bottle. This seasonal beer, which has been described as nirvana for hop lovers, has been so talked about that is was sold out even before the distributors received their shipment from Troegs. We were lucky enough to jump on this bus and have plenty in stock. Stop in and see why Beer Advocate rates this beer an A and Ratebeer.com gives it a 99! Another new limited edition comes from our friends at Magic Hat. Vinyl is their spring amber offering and signals the long days of winter coming to an end. Other new noteworthy beers include Smuttynose old Brown Dog, a classic American brown ale and Duvel, a classic Belgian strong ale that is bottle conditioned.

Our draft system has seen two new additions this past week. The ever classic home town hero Brooklyn Lager has been a welcome addition. We have also added a phenomenal West Coast favorite, Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale. This is one hell of a beer, perfectly balanced with slight hops and crisp malt flavors.

With a supposed winter storm coming tomorrow why not go out tonight to Press 195 and grab one of these beers! We look forward to it! And, if you know of a beer we need to carry please let us know.

Here is the current list:


ON DRAFT
Molson Canadian Lager (Canada): A Signature Canadian export, brewed with the highest quality hops and barley. A classic award winning lager. 5% abv
Brooklyn Lager (Brooklyn): A classic beer! The Brewery's flagship label is New York's "hometown" beer. Brewed to a pre-Prohibition recipe that dates back to the days when Brooklyn was the brewing capital of the East Coast. Brooklyn Lager has won numerous awards. 5.2% 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
Crossroads IPA (Catskills): Brand new to the market, this is one awesome beer! Brewed by our friend and local Bayside native, Kenny Landin, this is the very first release from Crossroads Brewing Co. A nice floral hop with a crisp finish, this is a great session beer. Support local! 6%
Speakeasy Prohibition Ale (San Francisco): Brand new on the East Coast, this is a boldly hopped amber ale that strikes a perfect balance between caramel maltiness and hoppy goodness. 6.1% 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
Flying Dog Doggie Style Pale Ale (MD): Brilliant amber in color and dry hopped with buckets full of Cascades for an unrivaled hop flavor and aroma. This is a true representation of an American-style pale ale, consistently ranked as one of the best in the U.S. 5.5% abv
Allagash White Beer (Maine): Our number one seller is a traditional Belgian wheat beer brewed with a generous portion of wheat and a special blend of spices, this beer is light and delicious! Pairs well with just about any sandwich! 5.5% abv
