BeerMenus.com

I have a new favorite way to drink fine beer in NYC, BeerMenus.com. The site is very clean and easy to find exactly where good beer is at, especially the hard to find ones like my favorite, Grimbergen Brown. I submitted my new favorite bar in Brooklyn right now (Grimergen on tap!), Bar Tabac (on Yelp), so I’m curious how long the brothers take to approve.

The site was founded by two brothers who were frustrated by bad beer selections… I feel their pain, especially when out with my Dive Bar Friends (you know who you are).

My request would be an iPhone version of the site to allow for easy additions of new bars!

They are also having a launch party on Saturday, May 24, 2008, at Blind Tiger Ale House. See Facebook event for details and RSVP.

Thanks to NYT.

Whole Foods Bowery Belgium Beer

I have been on the lookout for my Belgium Beer and especially Gueuze options in NYC. I have had Gueuze at Gingerman, but I want to be able to buy some for the house and I know it’s possible. So I checked out the new Whole Foods on Bowery that has a Beer Room.

Photo porn below including the bottles I picked up. First off some beer shots of the Whole Foods Bowery Beer Room:

And my selection:

What I picked up was:

• Ommegang Abbey Ale (Upstate NY)
• Rochefort Trappistes 6
• Sixpoint Triple Growler Half Gallon (Brooklyn, NY)
• Cantillon Gueuze
• Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René
• Cantillon Lambic
• Delirium Tremens
