With the new year comes several new bottles to whet your whistle. This week we are excited to feature Troegs Nugget Nectar in bottle.

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.

November 2009

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!

WEEK OF JUNE 17th 2009

Hola Amigos! Rain, everywhere, non-stop and relentless, when will we crack 80 degrees again? The summer is moving ahead and things here at Press 195 have been busy. Since Memorial Day the beer has been flowing in our backyard and who doesn't love a nice ale in a beautiful backyard? This week we have a few new beers for you and they are winners. Stop in, grab one and say hi!


Two new beers on tap and we are psyched because they kick ass! From Pennsylvania comes Victory Lager, a fine example of an all malt beer that is rounded out with a nice hop finish. And, from the West Coast is truly one of the finest beers I have tasted all year, Stone Levitation. If one would look up the term 'well-balanced' the description could include this beer, hoppy, malty but never overpowering, this beer can be drank all day.


Bottle wise, we are proud to introduce our customers to Belfast Bay Lobster Ale, a fantastic red ale from the land of lobsters, Maine! From the local region we also just released Brooklyn Local Two, another an amazing Belgian Abbey Ale. The weekly list is:
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

Stone Levitation (San Diego): This deep amber ale has rich & roasty malt flavors, a big hoppy character, citrus overtones (courtesy of the hops and our special brewers yeast) and modest alcohol. 4.4% abv

Victory Lager (PA): Victory lager is a soft, smooth tasting beer made with an ale-style recipe using lager fermentation and conditioning techniques. The beer is unfiltered and the remaining yeast, high in Vitamin B, gives the beer its unique opalescent amber color. 5.2% 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 Summer Ale (Patchogue): A summer tradition at Press195! Various malts combine to produce a delicious golden taste that is light and thirst quenching with a hint of citrus. 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

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
