Have any NYC-area (or NYC-visiting) ILXORS been to TORST?

did you like torst xp
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Thursday, 24 April 2014 03:07 (ten years ago) link
i did like torst tho it's definitely better as a special occasion place. it's much more worth it if you bring some friends and split something crazy from their bottle list--the draft lists i've seen are nothing special, even more so since i don't much care for evil twin.

when i was there we got a bottle of cantillon mamouche for 75 bucks, given standard bar markups plus cantillon plus brooklyn i thought it was pretty well-priced.

Update from yesterday -- no ZD left on the shelves at my local store :( BUT they told me they usually get some in on Tuesdays (?) so I'm going to keep trying & will eventually score some for interested parties itt.

Also Notch Session Saison = great flavor in a non-boozy beer, my wife really dug it as she's a saison fan and has been sticking to low-alcohol beers of late.
Mayflower Spring Hop = very good hop/malt balance, I typically don't really go for reds but this was good. Reminded me a bit of The Future Is Now from Gigantic.
Trillium Fort Point Pale = really nice out of the growler, sort of a midpoint between Founders Dry Hopped Pale and something like ZD? I like these types of beers that walk the line between APA and IPA.
― dan m, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah i had that trillium growler last night too, good stuff. tasted ridiculously fresh, so much hop flavor sonsidering the abv, smooth too
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Thursday, 24 April 2014 15:51 (ten years ago) link
glad you both enjoyed the trillium growler--that rapidly has become one of my favorite pale ales and somehow it's still flying a bit under the radar around here.

Hey, speaking of beer in the new era: is it time to start a new thread? This one is getting a bit unwieldy.

Posting in this thread to humble brag that a couple nights ago I drove out to this place in Redlands to buy a six pack of their IPA http://www.hangar24brewery.com

i had their apricot wheat wine a while back, i think i remember liking it

I bought two bottles of Lost Abbey Red Poppy a while back and opened one of them last night. Surprisingly dark, but light on the tongue and not-overpowering cherry flavor. The real treat of it was the finish/aftertaste though. Not many beers that I've wanted to swallow and breathe out with quite like that.
― dan m, Friday, 25 April 2014 14:27 (ten years ago) link
ooo, exciting. i'm opening my bottle of red poppy tmmrw.

so instead of getting drunk and fat from drinking you just get fat. sounds awesome.

You'd have to get me drunk to convince me to eat several spoonfuls of active yeast before I drink.

Koch told me he keeps a breathalyzer around at all times just to assure he’s never too drunk.

Decided to check out the beer shop on the other side of town, they have a pretty good selection (even basic US stuff is rare enough here).

Wild Beer Company Sourdough, it's the one beer I bought that I'd had before - nice and sour and refreshing.

The New Glarus black IPA is one of the better examples of the style I've tasted, I think. Real delicate balance of hops and roasty darkness.
