I stole this from my own Facebook page.....

I am proud to be able to present to all of the beer enthusiasts out there a brand new local brewery!
Barrier Brewing of Oceanside N.Y.will be here on Saturday July 24th, from 3-7PM to introduce themselves & thier fine line up of beers to you!

http://barrierbrewing.com/Site/HOME.htm...l

It will be the usual good time, but with the added fun of helping a new brewery and brewmaster get thier products out & known!

I will be grilling some beer infused goodies & will probably have some other muchies to pair with Evan's great beers!

For more info, check my website & blog.
See ya there!

And I stole this from Rich's Beer Advocate post....


Evan Klein of Barrier Brewing Co. will be at Bellport Beer for a tasting of 5 new beers from his brand new Oceanside, NY brewery. The usual chaos and party surrounding any visiting brewer will likely occur as Bellport Dave likes to marinate wings, ribs and hot dogs in the visiting brewer's beers.

Formerly of Sixpoint Brewing Co, Evan Klein has gone out on his own with an interesting vision of establishing a local and regional brewery.

Barrier Brewing's first appearance was at the Bellport Charity Tasting for Camp Paquatuck as it took place within days of his brewery becoming an official NY State micro-brewery.

I would encourage the local BA's to come out and support this tasting as Barrier makes very good beers worth drinking in large capacities. It's also fun to see another beer lover living the dream of going pro with his own brand and style.

The Barrier Beer styles and names to be tasted: GreenRoom Pale Ale, Ruthless IPA, Barrier Belgian1, Lights Out Stout, Beech St. Wheat, & Bulkhead Red.

Upcoming Tastings!

It's been a while since the last tasting, so it's time to get back on the horse......
I have 3 planned. What I would like is some suggestions on who you want to see here!
So.....?

The Out Of Towners Are Back!

For all of you who have been busting my chops about the "Out Of Towner" 6 packs, well, I guess I deserve it! It has been a while, and because of that, I have made four different ones for this upcoming weekend!
Get it? Four for the fourth?! Yeah, I know, lame....but what the hell. It's something.
Anyway, here is the story. I have had a few good folk, my "beer travelers" as I call them, bring me home some great stuff in the past few weeks. A lot of stuff. So much stuff I can't possibly drink it all, and also so much that I need to get it out of my way!
What I have available are four different 6 packs, and you have to ask for the number of the one you want, as we don't have the shelf or counter space to put them out. Just come in and ask for "out of towner # _ please.
Here is the list..

#1
Bells Oberon
Founders Dirty Bastard ( bottles won't be available in NY until Sept.)
River Horse Tripel
New Belgium 1554 Black Ale
Shiner Bock Black Lager
Duck Rabbit Milk Stout

#2

Yards ESA
New Belgium Mighty Arrow Pale ALe
Highland Gaelic Ale
Bells Amber Ale

#3

#4

Founders Dirty Bastard

Duck Rabbit Porter

Time To Go Back To Eight Taps...Too Damn Hot!

It's blazing out there! So, that means it is now impossible to keep those extra 5 or 6 kegs cold in that big black tub! So we have kicked kegs and not bothered to tap new stuff.
We are back to a manageable 8 taps for the summer.

We did an unprecedented thing this past week. On the eve of the 22nd we kicked the Long Trail Double IPA, we proceeded to tap another Long Trail Double IPA, something we never do is repeat a keg! But it went so fast, and we had no reasonably priced IPA to go next, so we did. Well, guess what? That one lasted less than a full 6 days! So knowing that a lot of you love it, I tapped a third in a row! I doubt we will ever do that again....Next IPA up will be Greenport Harbor Disorient IPA!

The current line up is this......

Founders Dirty Bastard
Speakeasy Payback Porter
Greenport Harbor Triton Barleywine Ale
Weyerbacher Heresy
Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale
Long Trail Double IPA
Cricket Hill Nocturn Dark Lager (Cheap Growler Of The Week)
and the return of a good friend.....
Long Ireland Celtic Ale

See ya soon, ya growler totin' folks!

Kickin' Kegs & What's Up Next!

The weather is getting warmer, and that means it is time to reign in the extra beers on tap. This means that for every two beers that kick, only one will be replaced until we get back down to eight tap lines again. Of course we will roll out the extra taps for special events and tastings!

Kicked this week were the following.....
Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout - no surprise there...
Long Ireland Pale Ale
Cigar City Jai Alai IPA
and
Long Trail Double IPA

Newly tapped are.......
Well, the Long Trail was such a hit that we tapped the second keg that we were going to wait on!
and
Founders Dirty Bastard!

So the current line up looks like this....

Founders Dirty Bastard
Southampton Saison Brune
Speakeasy Payback Porter
Greenport Harbor Triton Barleywine Ale
Sam Adams Imperial White Ale
Weyerbacher Heresy
The Bruery Tradewinds Tripel
Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale
Captain Lawrence Gingerman
Long Trail Double IPA
Cricket Hill Nocturn Dark Lager
