TAP New York!

Yesterday was a great day. Lissa and I joined several members of the New York City Homebrewers Guild for a day up at Hunter Mountain. A dozen of us made the 2 1/2 hour drive each way. Tap New York is the first event I have attended with the club, and I
am happy to say that they are a great group of people.

We sampled from thirty or so microbreweries, most from the New York area, though New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Quebec each had one to show the colors for the state. Should you see them, I suggest trying the following breweries:

Brewery Ommegang (Cooperstown, NY) - Rare Vos
Southampton Publick House (Southampton, NY) - 10th Anniversary Ale
Legacy Brewing Company (Reading, PA) - Euphoria
Unibroue (Chambly, Quebec) - Fin du Monde (not making this up).

Unibroue had several great Belgians, and I would happily recommend Don de Dieu and Maudit in addition to the very tasty Fin du Monde.

All this and good food too. Definitely planning to go next year too!

Great new homebrewer Q&A post on Homebrewers' LiveJournal.
