Beer Review 94: Shipyard Prelude Special Ale

December 13, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

A special thanks out to the few of you that watched our very first live beer review on our Justin.tv channel.  We’re still not used to the live (internet) tv thing and a few of us might have acted unprofessional (sorry I broke the seal too early).  Check out our Justin.tv channel for the unedited versions of a few reviews while we were working the kinks out.  The beer was from Portland, Maine’s Shipyard Brewery which is probably most famous for their pumpkin brew “Pumpkinhead” and now the Prelude is popping up, labeled as the perfect “winter warmer”.  Live Reviews!  First Winter Warmer!  Portland… Maine!

New York City Craft Beer Events for the Week of September 11, 2011

September 12, 2011

Good morning all you Beer Friends out there! This week’s NYC craft beer events list will be slightly abridged, and for a good reason. We’ll only be showcasing events from today until Thursday, after that there’s a bit of a surprise in store for you. New York City Craft Beer Week. Beginning Friday, September 16. We here at the Beer Friends think that a week dedicated solely to craft beer happening in the greatest city on the planet (and sponsored by the mayor) is important enough to deserve its own post. So, when Thursday comes around and you realize that you’ve come to the end of this week’s Beer Friends sponsored events, don’t fret. That morning we’ll throw our list of the Beer Friends most anticipated events for NYC Craft Beer Week 2011. Yes, two Beer Friends events listings a week makes should make you feel warm inside, it’s natural.

Tuesday, September 13 – 12% Imports Tap Takeover @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:

New York City Craft Beer Events for the Week of May 15, 2011

May 16, 2011

I woke up this morning with great expectations.  The sun was shining, a warm summer breeze blowing through the air, the smell of blossoming plants and then I opened my eyes.  Rain.  Thunder.  Fog.  And it was cold.  And it will be happening all week long.  Then I looked at the list of craft beer events happening this week.  The clouds parted, the sun came back out and the annoying spitting from the dense fog that engulfed the city transformed into a soft mist reminiscent of the Irish countryside.  Yea, craft beer has that affect on me.

Tuesday, May 17 – Empire Brewing Company Night @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:

Imagine you were taking a boat trip down the Erie Canal (10 points if you know where the Erie Canal is) rafting through the port towns of Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo and you wanted a beer.  The obvious choice is Empire Brewing Company.  Started in Syracuse and at
