You can't create a great moment, they just happen. You need to capture it before it's gone.

NYC American Craft Beer Festival | About
For those of you who are interested, This is going to be awesome. See you there.
I’m still waiting for it to hit the north east. Come on already!
…So I just received this photo from a friend who is away visiting family over the holiday. No message, just the photo. He knows it bothers me that he’s drinking New Belgium beer and I’m not.
If none of you are aware of this. New Belgium is one of my favorite breweries (It’s from Colorado) and it’s not available anywhere near New York City.
Needless to say, I frequently get these text messages from friends who are traveling outside of the North East. Bastards.
And now for the beer.
Yep, Dogfish Head Brewery not only produces beer, they also distill their own vodka & rum. They make gin too, but that stuff makes me crazy.
Oh, and that’s a cherry flavored vodka.

Somebody get me to Germany ASAP!
Oktoberfest began last Saturday in Munich. Click through for some photos from the festivities.

Your First Glimpse of Eataly’s La Birreria
Almost a year and a half after the first announcement, La Birreria at Eataly (200 Fifth Ave., at 23rd St., Flatiron), the brewpub on the roof of Eataly, is almost here. The official opening date: June 3rd. Today, for the first time, we got our first glimpse of the space and a taste of the beer.
First, the beer. Head brewer Brooks Carretta, who bit his chops brewing at Italy’s Birra del Borgo and then refined his beers this year in the US at Dogfish Head, introduced us to the first lineup of beers, which are all named for famous Italian women. Each beer blends Italian and American brewing traditions.
First up is Gina, an American Pale Ale brewed with Thyme. Then there’s Wanda, an English Mild brewed with chestnuts. Rounding out the first three beers in the lineup is a yet-to-be-named summer seasonal, an American Wheat Ale brewed with peppercorns chosen by Eataly partners Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich. Gina and Wanda will stay on tap year-round, while the seasonal cask will rotate four times a year. All the house beers will be poured on cask, and will only be available upstairs at the brewpub - they won’t be bottled, and they won’t be available for growler fills.
More beers on tap, and a full tour of the space after the jump…
I think I’m way more excited about this place then I should be. I think I’ve just been waiting way too long to check this place out. I love Craft Beers, I love roof top bars, I love day drinking on a roof top bar in NYC, I love to try new craft beers, I love any excuse to go to Eataly, Did I mention I love craft beer?

Forget “the champagne of beers”. Here is beer turned into champagne! Huzzah!
