Today was supposed to be a day off for yours truly but it certainly doesn't feel that way. Woke up early to handle some minor bar-related stuff, then met up with NAPOLEON DYNAMITE for a long-overdue meetup for lunch. After catching up on things, I headed back to the bar, only to have a slew of beer reps, ad reps and job seekers waiting for me.
So after what ended up being a couple of hours of sifting through meeting after meeting, I finally made it out of the bar a bit past 3pm, only to realize that I hadn't posted anything on the blog yet. WTF! So here I am doing just that.
During the course of the meetings, I struck up a deal to bring in a couple of new beers for the bar: BUTTERNUTS PORKSLAP PALE ALE and BUTTERNUTS SNAPPERHEAD IPA. Based out of Upstate New York (near the Butternut Mountains, I kid you not), BUTTERNUTS BEER and ALE has been in existence for over five years and has developed a cult-like following all over the state. Now it's finally making its way down to NYC and we're one of the first places in the area to carry it. SYRACUSE fans are very aware of the brand and the one's I've spoken with seem pretty excited about us bringing it in.
First thing you'll notice is that they come in 12 oz. cans and they are pretty unique looking sonavabitches too.
BUTTERNUTS Snapperhead IPA
BUTTERNUTS Porkslap Pale AleNow once you get past the funny-sounding name and the fact that it comes in a can, they actually taste quite good! The Snapperhead IPA, especially has a subtle 6.8% ABV kick that will knock you on your ass if you don't watch out. The Porkslap Pale Ale is their flagship beer and most popular and with good reason. It's nice on the palliate with a nice balance of hops and citrus notes. Amber in color. Nice pour from a can and as I said before, pleasantly surprising taste.
We'll be carrying both brands tomorrow night, just in time for the SYRACUSE/BUTLER game. So for you fans of the Orange, if you are looking for something familiar to enjoy while watching your game (and we'll carry it with sound, by the way), make sure you try out the BUTTERNUTS offering!
And be honest: You like saying the name, don't you?
