There are so many places pouring craft beer in the city that it is almost impossible to decide where you want to drink sometimes. Do you want to grab a pint? Do you want to just get a sandwich and a growler fill? Better yet, do you hit the busier bars in Manhattan, or do you go to the more quiet sections of Brooklyn or Queens to have a more low key day? With some of our favorite bars residing in Manhattan it can be difficult to bring ourselves to go a little further to the other boroughs of the city, but that was not the case this past Sunday. We have been meaning to check out Tørst since they opened last March. If you have been living under a rock, Tørst is one of the most eclectic tap rooms in the city, offering the awesome and weird from around the world and the biggest selection of Evil Twin beers I have ever seen.

PROPER OPENER FROM PORTSMITH CO.
I have never been one to carry a bottle opener on my key chain. I feel they get in the way of my keys and subconsciously I feel I would be judge by others as an alcoholic. That is no longer the case how ever. The folks at Portsmith Company have come up with a bottle opener solution so simple that it fits right in your wallet.

THE ARLINGTON
I have been going to Long Beach Island for about ten years now, and while I have been only able to drink legally for seven of those years I always found it difficult to find a bar that suits my need for craft beer and good food. There are plenty of places on the island pouring some craft beer (and there is a lot of amazing food to boot) but there was never a place that had both. That is no longer the case however. A recent trip to LBI brought us to one of the newest tap rooms in the Garden State – The Arlington, opened by brothers Paul and Brian Sabrese. The brothers are no strangers to the restaurant world, both having worked at places on and off LBI for many years, so when an existing establishment didn’t feel like re-opening after Sandy, the brothers jumped at the opportunity and opened their dream bar.

A FEW FROM FINCHS BEER COMPANY
So we have touched on Half Acre and Two Brothers here at I Drink Good Beer but there is just one Chicago brewery left that we would like to highlight before the year is out and that brewery is Finch’s Beer Company. Finch’s Beer Company was started for the sheer fact that Owner Ben Finch wanted to supply the drinkers of Chicago with easy drinking brews, gateway beers if you will.

10 BARREL BREWING PRAY FOR SNOW
Among all the trading we have been doing with our friends on the west coast I couldn’t wait to highlight this beer the most. Unfortunately we had to wait for some snow to hit the ground before doing a proper photo shoot and article. It is finally snowing here in New Jersey and with the wood stoves burning and the smell of fire wood in the air the perfect beer for pairing with the situation is a winter warmer.
