Harvest Moon Brewery!

So just down the street from the George Street Playhouse, where I'm rehearsing these days, BING!  There's a brewpub!  (I knew I loved New Brunswick.)  Yup, the Harvest Moon Brewery, at 392 George Street, literally just down the street from the train station in New Brunswick has been in this space (in quite an old building) since 1994, and under the present ownership since 2003.

We didn't have time to ask a ton of questions, but there was time to speak to a bartender, have a meal and sample some beers after a long day in the rehearsal studio.

We tasted our way through several of their beers, and very much enjoyed the Porter, a nice Double IPA and an especially fine Barleywine.  The menu is quite nice and well priced.  (My burrito was pretty fantastic.)  We'll be in the neighborhood for a while, so perhaps we'll get back there for some video.  Stay tuned!  Meanwhile, whenever and wherever you can, DRINK LOCAL!  Cheers!

 

Video episode #167: The Guys 'get some' Pies & Pints!

The Guys find themselves (oh, there we are!) in Fayetteville, West Virginia, a town known for whitewater rafting, mountain biking, climbing, and... GREAT pizza and craft beer! ;Yup, Pies and Pints in the very cool small town has some of the best pizza The Guys have ever had with incredibly fresh ingredients.

Why oh why oh Weyerbacher?!

Howdy folks! Artsy Guy here, feeling accomplished after a full day at the desk. Reward? Sampling the Weyerbacher tap takeover at Rattle & Hum here in the shadow of the Empire State Building (or the location of said shadow if it were actually sunny in NYC, which it's NOT).

I'm such a fan of these events that happen periodically at Rattle & Hum, Pony Bar, Blind Tiger, etc. It's a great opportunity to taste a few brews from one brewer side by side. Favorites sampled on this day were the Double Simcoe IPA, Insanity (barley wine), Heresy and Tiny (both imperial stouts). Just look at all those "W" tap handles!

So... get thee down to Rattle & Hum toot sweet to experience a brewery that doesn't raise a tap handle often in the Big Apple! That's what's HOPpenin'! (Still not sold on the catchphrase, but - heck - it's almost Easter and it's bunny-related.)
