A few weeks ago I took a trip down to Carton Brewing, in hopes of being present as they brewed the pilot batch of their collaboration beer, Save’r Fer Latr, with the gang from Barrier Brewing Company. Save’r Fer Latr is a Saison brewed with Cherry blossom, pink peppercorn, and hibiscus flower created for the beer drinkers that are coming into town for Savor, an upcoming craft beer event in NYC.

DOGFISH HEAD AT MOHAWK HOUSE
Here is a short film we made for our friends over at Mohawk House from a recent event they put on with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. With such a wide portfolio of beers, Dogfish Head took over 18 of the 50 taps at Mohawk House for the evening and brought in a stellar crowd.
We sat down with our local Dogfish Head representative, Nick Vitalo to talk about the evening and some of his thoughts on craft beer and the Mohawk House. Enjoy the film. Continue reading “DOGFISH HEAD AT MOHAWK HOUSE”
RED BRICK BREWING HOPLANTA IPA
One of my favorite things about traveling whether it is work or pleasure is the ability to try new beers. Beers that are either local to the area, surrounding states or a distribution offering that I may not see back home are all game for the tasting. Continue reading “RED BRICK BREWING HOPLANTA IPA”
THE VERONA INN
Feeling adventurous (and a little thirsty), a few of us set out for nearby Verona the other day in search of something new. What good fortune we had to wind up at the Verona Inn for a few cold brews – not that we didn’t mean to go there, so much as it’s always a pleasant surprise when nothing goes wrong along the way. While the tavern has been a part of the community in spirit for decades, it has existed in this location for only a few years now. How we haven’t stopped in already is beyond us – this bar has a satisfying mix of class and comfort. When we arrived, a tour was arranged so that we could see the rear outside dining area, along with the kitchen, keg room, and storage. The spacious and organized workspace maintained by the staff is truly the stuff of food service envy. Continue reading “THE VERONA INN”
GREAT LAKES BREWING IN NEW JERSEY
Two weeks ago we took a trip up to our local watering hole Mohawk House for a Great Lakes Brewing Kick Off Party. Instead of bringing you the typical photography spiel we decided to cut a video together letting Mark Weinmenn from Great Lakes tell us a bit about the brewery and their excitement of finally tapping into the North Jersey market. I am personally excited to have their beers available and look forward to their more seasonal releases in the months to come. Congratulations to Great Lakes and Kohler on the launch, the beer drinkers of New Jersey thank you.
