As we load up the gear to head back to the urban jungle, it’s only right I wrap up some special bottles of brew that I can’t get in NYC. This is important travel protocol for any wine, beer or spirits geek. If you’re not smuggling home some juju juice, then you’re a plain ol’ […]

Just rolled into Denver and was met by two old friends.

Mark your calendars, people. Rally the homebrew club. Cancel your weekend gambling trip to Macao. Request the day off from work…hell, request two days off from work. Cause it’s about to be ON. Four days from now, it’s time to stand up for the craft beer cause. Time to declare your independence from the mass-produced […]

Stoked to hear, hot off the presses of the Beard Foundations Twitter account, that my boss/colleague/compatriot/rebel-rouser/mentor/fearless maniac, Paul Grieco, just won the 2012 James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine, Beer, or Spirits Professional. This is awesome, well-deserved news for me and all the other glorious misfits that call Hearth & Terroir home. Well done, Paul. […]

Just revisting this. Surprised just how damn tasty it is. Its funny how you’ll taste the same things, years apart, and they blow your mind with intensity…it pays to revisit things. Biere de Garde in style, the Gavroche from Cappel, France, is bottled sur lie, meaning its conditioned in the bottle on the live yeast. […]

It’s Friday night. Have a NY-IPA-off happening. Southern Tier 2X IPA vs Fire Island Red Wagon IPA. In the meantime, please enjoy the music. The Wood Brothers jamming in the hallway of a school in Brooklyn:

One year ago today, Kat and I donned backpacks and boarded a plane to Paris. What followed was a 93-day journey which wound us through Europe, with only wine and beer as our compass. 8 countries, 34 hotels, 9 rental cars…and 3 years of dreaming. Like ants in a newly-begun ant farm, we forged our […]

At 1:00 pm, with the wee lad strapped in and the diaper bag filled with the tools of the trade, we left the house. We vowed that no amount of shitstorms or wet-nappy assaults would knock us off our journey, and we jumped on the M60 bus in Astoria to make our way to 125th street in […]

It’s truly amazing how much work goes into opening a restaurant. Having now worked on the operations side of things for four years, I’m still amazed by this. And even more amazed how the guests on the other side of the bar have no idea what this process entails. The thought of someone thinking, “Oh, […]

Don’t mess with that pool shark over there. Yep, the one with the baby strapped to her chest. She’ll clean your clock.

It’s here. Each year, with baited breath, craft beer geeks storm the taps to get their Lupilin fix of Troeg’s Nugget Nectar, the 7.5% Imperial Amber from Pennsylvania. I’m drinking one now… And while I totally realize its St Patricks Day, and while I totally realize I’m committing some mortal sin against my Irish heritage […]

Soda is out, people. Just ask any New Yorker who’s seen the city’s latest ads against obesity from soft drinks and they’ll tell you: “it’s the devil’s urine, by Jove!” But rest assured, lovers of the Root Beer Float, you have an alternative. The Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Ice Cream Float. Now I can’t remotely claim credit […]
