RIVER HORSE BREWING COMPANY

Here is some beer content long overdue. Brian and I finally bumbled our way down to Lambertville, NJ, so as to tour the esteemed River Horse Brewery. I’ve been pestering Brian about this trip, having been engaged in a sordid affair with their Tripel Horse for quite a while now. I couldn’t be happier with the result – an afternoon spent in the company of some of New Jersey’s finest beer crafters, who were more than happy to share their enthusiasm and knowledge with us. If I come off as like some shameless fan-boy, well… if it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it’s probably a mallard. Continue reading “RIVER HORSE BREWING COMPANY”

SALT

Last Wednesday we took a trip up to a little place called Salt – a gastro pub serving up food and beer for locals of Sussex County, New Jersey. I had heard so much about the place over the past year, and was intrigued by stories of a great beer selection and a menu filled with awesome dishes. The afternoon was quiet, overcast, and a bit chill; it was the sort of day best spent indoors with a cold drink and a hot plate. Continue reading “SALT”

Residents of New Jersey are lucky enough to have one of the new locations in the bustling urban setting of Jersey City, while the beer drinkers in and around Philly received the second.

BEER CAN CHICKEN

We headed upstate last week for a little get-away of ATV riding, hunting, beer drinking, and of course eating. We brought out a smoker to cook some beef brisket which then spawned the idea of doing a beer can chicken, something I have been wanting to do for a while. What better can of beer for this than a tall boy from Sixpoint (and even better yet their fall seasonal, Autumnation). Continue reading “BEER CAN CHICKEN”

EDDIE’S ROAD HOUSE

While visiting Mistucky Creek a few months back, we were tipped off about Eddie’s Road House. Now I had heard about this place from a few people – rotating taps, cask, and an excellent food selection were all I needed to hear to take the trip. Eddie’s is a small family run bar located in downtown Warwick, NY. The area is traditionally known for apple picking and wineries, and now the craft beer movement is establishing a foothold in that heritage. Some of America’s best breweries have found their way to this little town, with every bar having some sort of craft offering. Continue reading “EDDIE’S ROAD HOUSE”
