Not Next Thursday, But The Next Thursday After That -- A Cool New Program For All Of You Growler Toting People!!!

Thursday July 16th, we roll out a new Growler program. No, it's not a discount program, our growler prices are pretty low to begin with. It's a cool program which will bring you some really tough stuff on tap, including the possibility of an occasional cask or firkin. That depends on how well the program is received by you guys.
What exactly is the program?
Details will come soon, but I think you will all think it is a good idea. At least I hope you will.

The Lark --- An Excellent New Place To Enjoy Good Stuff On Tap

Myself, Rich, and Randy took a ride out to East Northport to check out the newest beer bar here on L.I. We were not disappointed! I saw the long line of tap handles, and was impressed. My eyes froze on the Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock. This is one of my absolute favorites, and one I have never had on tap. It was, simply stated, amazing! I spoke to Jim, who is the bartender, and, I think a partner. Nice guy. He wants this place to be a destination, and I think it is well on it's way. Check it out for yourself..................

I'm Getting Back On The Horse...I'll Be Blogging Regularly Again.

I've been having a hard time keeping up with things. I realized that this means I am also not doing a good job of keeping you all posted on what's new, what's on tap, beer events, tastings, etc.
I am gearing up to get all this back on track, as well as updating the beer list on the website. I am about 75-90 beers behind.
I also will be adding a bunch more photos to the photo gallery. Keep an eye out for yourself!
I have just scheduled a bunch of tasting for the summer, and will be posting that info soon.
I am running a 2nd Charity Beer Tasting on 8/13. Details are coming!
So much more!!!!
Keep checking back.
