Brooklyn Oktoberfest Gets a Facelift

And guess what . . . I don't like it. Surprise, surprise. Come on, they had a good thing going. The colors they are using now are atrocious. They hurt my eyes. Luckily, the beer is still good. I love it, been drinking it since my early beer blogging days.



Old.



New. The colors are worse in real life. The silver is reflective. Ugh.

What is really weird, the Brooklyn Brewery website still has the old design featured. Apparently the web dept likes the old design too.

Things change, get over it. Right. Central Market has six packs now.

Beer Flashback #1

Who does not like reminiscing? Who does not like beer? And that is what this "series" is all about. That and an easy way to get up more content. But it's new, well new for you. This will mostly be old posts from before I started this blog, from my other blog and mostly when we were living in New York.

For entry #1 we rewind the clocks back to July 2007. Enjoy:
















Barcade in Williamsburg hosted Dogfish Head Brewery night tonight. It was mighty fun.
















Burton Baton and Chateau Jiahu































Don't worry Sof, there is always more.
















Barcade is a sick bar. They have great beer. And old skool video games, like Tapper and Ms. Pacman.
















Sam Calagione was there. He is the owner of Dogfish Head and he is sort of one of my heroes. I played him in darts. I beat him and won a hat. We high fived, WOW!
















Cristy and Greg were there also, but we left pretty much as soon as they showed up.
















Waitin for the F.
















Stew and his new free hat.

NYT on Growlers

Growlers are not an unfamiliar thing in these parts. And that is good thing. Bierkraft (in my old n'hood Park Slope) gets even more coverage today in the NYT. I've never seen one store get so much coverage. Don't get me wrong, I loved that place, just seems heavy handed. It's like me with Beer Town Austin, jeez.
