A champagne bottle? Absolutely perfect. If it wasn’t for the very clean bloom of saaz hops You wouldn’t guess this is a beer. Smell is like a grain silo, herbal yeast adds Marigold chamomile and Riesling. So effervescent, dry, warm hay and barley. Genius!

An Unbelievably clean, creamy, crushable, roasty little porter/schwarzbier that’s pure joy. It starts sweet w/chocolate and then the layers & layers of roasted grain flower into a lingering toast & Nutella aftertaste. Brilliance in its perfect balance🌾

An absolute top-notch rauchbier, and easily among the top 4-5 NYC beers I’ve had. In terms of malt heft, hops crunch, and the more delicate balanced smoke I prefer this over the clear reference they used Aecht Schlenkera’s Smoked Helles. Light ham/birch😋

Really light crushable with solid Pilsner backbone. But I’ve always found Pinkus brews to be too light, esp their Hefeweizen. On an already a hot morning while cooking a lamb Ragu (with pilsner!) It’s a refreshing treat. Hops a bit unbalanced but crispp🍻

Whether you’re celebrating July 4th, or just Saturday I wish you all sunshine & opportunity. This has all the characteristics of an excellent juicy Flanders sour, but lighter & watery with good oak/wine feels-murky dank richness of grapeskin tannins shine
