Re: Dark Lord Day 2015

Plenty of bottle sharing, some great taps, lot less crowded, absolutely no lines to get the DL bottles, washroom lines were quick, no mud(!) and some good metal bands. Cons: VERY long lines for food, the North entrance was a joke, crappy weather and I've r...

Re: beerbistro

They used to have a few gems on the bottle list. Most are gone or are "locked in the cellar" that nobody seems to ever have access too.

Re: New York/Manhattan/Brooklyn

I was in New York 2 weeks ago: Stayed in Astoria, Queens. Astoria Bier and Cheese is a good bottle shop with about 10 taps. Went to a Sour event at Ginger Man in Midtown. About 20 or so taps. Pretty good selection. Torst is world class. Go there! Brooklyn Brewery, went there on a Friday night. Was t...

Seems like they were giving it to friends and regulars. A sympathetic local did give us half of this ...

It was a great event. We got there about 11:00 and were second in line. By doors open there were about 50-75 or so people.
