We love it when we see the creativity of spirits mixology applied to beer - within reason of course. While there is a simple purity in a frosty pint of beer, sometimes it’s fun to play around. Our latest beer-tail to add to the collection, the Black and Blue, is case and point. It mixes things up just a little but doesn’t adulterate our brew.

There are lots of things to love about New York City. Being able to order take out food from just about any ethnicity you can imagine, lazy summer picnics in Central Park or playing Frogger on 3rd Avenue after a pint or two are just a few that come to mind. But perhaps our favorite attribute of city life is being able to construct the perfect six-pack at your local bodega. Beer selection at the little grocery stores that line the corners of our city blocks is improving tremendously. It’s not just Bud or Miller but rather great wheat beers from Belgium, craft beers from the US and stouts from England. Our favorite little place to get our beer is Dual Spice Specialty Store located on 1st Ave between 5th and 6th street, which claims to have over 400 beers. Our friend plans to have his ashes spread around the store as his final resting place. This place is conveniently located next to about 12 different BYOB Indian restaurants. Beer and cheap Indian food. God I love it here.
