New Beer Menu 3/18/2009

Spring is officially here and unfortunately the warm weather is not cooperating. A cold, rainy night simply means one last chance to curl up with a good winter warmer. So take advantage and grab one of the last 4 bottles we have of my favorite winter ale choice of this year, Elysian Breweries BiFrost ale. Thanks to the many who came out for our St. Patricks day celebration. Many had the chance to drink on our featured beers of the week via the West Coast, Rogue Kells Irish lager. This is one smooth session beer, perfect for a night of debauchery such as St. Patricks day. The next major event in the Press 195 world will be the grand re-opening of the Press 195 Brooklyn location. More news to follow.... Now on to this weeks beer list....

ON DRAFT

Outrage IPA (Garrattsville, NY): Brewed by our friend and local Bayside native, Kenny Landin, in conjunction with our friends at Butternuts Brewery, this is the very first release from Landin ales. A nice floral hop with a crisp finish, this is a great session beer. Support local! 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

Harpoon Celtic Ale (Boston): This delicious Irish red ale is Harpoon’s spring offering Celtic Ale features a deep amber color. The flavor is malty and complex and it has a moderate hop finish that, along with the generous amounts of malt, makes for a medium bodied, smooth, rich beer. 5.4% abv

Fort Collins Brewery Kidd Lager (Colorado): A great example of a black lager. Chocolate malt lends Kidd its color while German Tettnang hops create a mild bitterness to this remarkable smooth Rockies beer. 6% abv

Magic Hat #9 (Vermont): A rather dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not quite pale ale that has been a staple of Vermont life for many moons, #9 will continue to win over new drinkers. Spicy food will taste even better with this brew! 4.6% 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

Keegan’s Mother’s Milk (Kingston,NY): As the name implies, this 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

Bayside Beer List 3/2/09

Greetings from a blistery cold Monday afternoon. The calendar may make us think Spring but Mother Nature has quickly reminded us that this is still Winter! I guess we jumped the gun as we have now brought on two new Spring beers to our tap lines, Harpoon Brewery's Celtic Ale and Blue Point's Spring Fling. If these do not work for you and you still want to keep the winter vibe going we are one of the only bars left to offer my favorite choice for this winter via Colorado, Elysian Brewery's BiFrost Winter Ale. As I truly love this beer, we were lucky enough to grab the last case available from Union Beer Distributors.

For those who made it out to our 3rd Annual Fat Tuesday party, thanks very much. We all had a blast listening to the acoustic sounds of Matt Phillips and we all got to enjoy some nice Abita Beers. We still have their brand new Abita Jakomo IPA on tap, stop in and grab one before its gone.

Finally, new to the menu this week are two very different beers. First, by way of Germany, we are bringing in the classic Hofbrau Munich Dark Lager. This is a real smooth lager that has been in production since the 1600's. Grab a taste of what makes this such a classic. On the complete different side of the spectrum comes a brand new offering to the East Coast via Colorado, Left Hand Brewing's Saw Tooth Ale. From past trips out West I have sampled some brews from this brewery, but never had the chance to try this one. Please stop in so we can sample this together!

Well, have yourselves a great week and as always, if you come across some great brews, please pass the info on to us and we will get it on the list!

Week of January 23rd, 2009

Change is in the cold air in NYC!


A new president for the people and a new beer on tap for our customers! We here at Press 195 are always trying to think local and with Defiant Prohibition lager we definitely did think local. Brewed 30 miles from Bayside in Pearl River, NY (Rockland County) this is a great example of a beer brewed during the days of prohibition. It proves that with even the simplest of ingredients, a fine beer can be created. This brewery is one to watch as everything they offer at their brew pub is of the highest quality. The brewmaster, Neil, formely of Mountain Valley Brewpub in Suffern, NY, really knows his stuff and if you ever make it there you must try the bottle conditioned Double IPA. This is the real deal and will make any IPA fan very happy! As well, we brought in some great new bottles to our specialty list including:

The classic Belgian Tripel, Delirium Tremens, which weighs in at 10% abv, smooth and delicious

HeBrew Lenny Bruce R.I.P.A., a phenomenal double IPA that is another 10% abv heavyweight. This beer is brewed with rye malts, which gives it a very distinct taste!
