Brewer’s Description:

Freshchester Pale Ale

One of the first beers I brewed after moving out to California to begin my brewing education was a Pale Ale. This version is a true testament to the influences the Wild West had on my early brewing. My Pale Ale is loaded with US-grown Cascade, Crystal, and Columbus hops, so be sure to take a good sniff to enjoy their robust aromas before taking your first sip.

SENSORY PROFILE
An aromatic beer with notes of citrus, pine, a noticeable bitterness, and a touch of malty backbone to help balance it out.

FOOD PAIRING
Foods with a spicy kick are a great match, as the bitterness of the hops will help to cool the palate before your next bite. Mexican food and pizza are natural matches.
Hops: Columbus, Cascade, Crystal
Malts: Domestic 2-row, English Crystal Malt
IBU: 35
ABV: NA
OG: 14 Plato
Type of Glass: Other

Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner

A Dry Hopped American Rye Pilsner

Obey the siren song of the mythological Coney Island Mermaid. Four spicy hops flow into seven golden malts. Perfect as a distraction, or equally enchanting as a parade towards deeper delights. When beer tastes this good and you don’t have scurvy, you don’t need a lime.

It’s been a while since we did a tasting. To make up for lost time, our next tasting event will feature four vendors showing off their stuff. Blue Point Brewery will be taking over our taps. Theo Chocolate will be pairing beers with their delicious organic chocolate. SlantShack Jerky will be serving scrumptous morsels of their jerky. Mercy will be on hand to help you through your Friday night/Saturday morning.  Can’t wait to see you all there.

We are currently carrying Dave’s Gourmet’s Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce and Organic Roasted Garlic & Fresh Basil Pasta Sauce for $8.50 each.

About Dave’s Gourmet

Dave Hirschkop owned a restaurant called Burrito Madness in Maryland that was frequented by unruly drunk customers. After he found that one way to quiet down his louder inebriated patrons was super hot hot sauce, he started his own line of hot sauces. He made waves with his Insanity Hot Sauce, which won an award for the hottest sauce at the National Fiery Foods Show and became the only product to be banned for being too hot. After selling his restaurant, Dave created Dave’s Gourmet specializing in homemade tastes from popcorn and pasta sauces to his signature hot sauces. Dave’s sells spices, salts, a couple of mustard and a jelly, popcorn and nuts along with the full lines of hot sauces and pasta sauces.

For your part, we would ask you to bring your own bag. We also have our Nolita Mart re-useable 100% canvas bags for sale. When ordering your coffee drink, please consider having it to stay. We will serve you in one of our ceramic cups that will keep the temperature of the drink consistent and save on waste. While enjoying your drink, you can chat with our friendly barista. Always consider walking or biking to our shop (we recently signed a petition for more bike racks in the city). Thanks for reading!
