CRAFT BEERS & COUNTRY MUSIC: NICE COMBO!

Country music has experienced a bit of a renaissance in NYC over the past couple of years.  Whenever big country music stars like Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and Zac Brown Band come to New York City for a concert, arenas and stadiums routinely sell out.  This was especially interesting in light of the fact that there was no country music station in our area for years.

Well, it seems that the radio gods finally took notice and as of last week, we find ourselves with our first Country Music radio station in NYC for the first time since I can remember.  (94.7 NASH FM) And if you are a fan of that genre, you are ecstatic.

While I am not the biggest Country Music fan out there, it's good to see that there's a station in NYC available for the legion of fans that exist in the area.  And to commemorate the official welcoming of country music to the Big Apple, we're going to devote our Tuesday nights for the month of February to Country Music.  And if it takes off, we'll keep it rolling!  

So if you are a fan of the genre, join us for Craft Brew and Country Night.  Enjoy a playlist of today's top Country Music stars over $3 pints of our rotating selection of fine Craft Beers!  This week's choices include:

Shipyard Applehead Ale (Wheat Ale w/Apple & Cinnamon notes)

Lagunitas IPA (highly-regarded West Coast IPA)

Long Trail Hibernator Ale (Scottish Ale)

Harpoon Dark (Munich Style Dunkel)

Long Ireland Celtic Ale (Red Ale)

So make sure to stop by, enjoy some great craft beers and the return of Country!



Cheers!

YOU WANT CRAFT BEER? WE GOT CRAFT BEER....

Over the course of the past few years, we've been quietly building up a reputation as a bar that features a nice selection of beers.  That is due to the fact that we love beer.  Not just the run of the mill stuff from the major brands, mind you, but quality crafts beers from well known and respected breweries from around the country and around the world.

We do a lot of research on our own and also take suggestions from our knowledgeable beer reps as well as our patrons, who are our most important judges of beer.  Each month we'll feature a craft beer at a discounted price as our "Beer of the Month", to give customers a chance to try out a particular beer they may not have heard of or tried before.  And on Tuesday nights, we host a "Craft Brew Night", where you can sample a select number of craft beers for only $3/pint!  This is a favorite for beer snobs and newbies alike, as some of these beers can easily cost up to $8/pint during regular hours.

The point of all this is simple:  To broaden the horizons of beer drinkers in the neighborhood and in NYC and to let you know that you can enjoy good quality beers at reasonable prices.  Let's face it: anyone can drink swill.  But if you have a chance to have a quality craft beer at the price of that swill you're used to drinking, why not take advantage of it?


Nuff Said.
