The awesome Beer America folks brought this brewery to my attention and now I pay it forward to you…
Southern Tier Brewing is not, I repeat, not in the south. Their home is in Lakewood, New York. They have quite the line-up of beers.. Year-round | Seasonal | Local | Imperial | Ltd Imperial | Seasonal Imperial | Blackwater | Cuvée Series. What intrigued me the most was the Creme Brulee Imperial Milk Stout.
Laboring under the shadow of the Brooklyn Brewery is the SixPoint Craft Ales.
They do a wide variety of styles. Belgian IPA to saison to Hop Obama (since retired).
Their beers are available mostly in New York but they are worth looking for when you need to try something new.
…is awarded to bars and restaurants in New York who:
1. Have 80% craft domestic or special imported beers.
2. Serve a good portion of their beers via a draft beer and/or cask ale program.
3. Maintain a strong “pub” vibe as a nice, local place to drink beer and visit with friends.
4. Active community presence, as well as being independently operated establishment.
5. Good beer should be a strong feature if not the FOCUS of the operation.
