brewyork:

Salt and Bone, Meet Singlecut

There’s a new kitchen tenant at Singlecut Beersmiths (19-33 37th St, Astoria). Salt and Bone, from the folks behind Bareburger, are setting up shop in the taproom starting this week. The new menu includes items like ribs, nachos, and tacos, plus more traditional beer-pairing fare like sausage and pretzels. The kitchen will be open whenever the taproom is open, from 30 minutes after opening until 1 hour before close.

Sneak a Peek at Two Forthcoming Breweries

Two breweries are setting up shop in Brooklyn’s Industry City soon. Wartega Brewing and Lineup Brewing (33 35th St #6A, Sunset Park), both with brewers with homebrewing roots, will likely open by springtime. But while they wait for the all-clear to open, they’re hosting a preview event next Friday night at 8:30pm, with ticket sales going to raise funds for nonprofits. Tickets are $35, and include four beers and a pour of liquor from Arcane Distilling. There will also a cash bar at the neighboring Industry City Distillery for your cocktail-drinking needs.

Happy Wilkyversary

It’s been a year since The Wilky (108 Patchen Ave, Bed-Stuy) opened, and if you haven’t checked out this off-the-beaten path gem, this might be the weekend to do it, as they celebrate their first anniversary all weekend. They’ll have some good kegs to tap from the likes of Hill Farmstead, Grimm, Suarez, Cascade, Jack’s Abby, and many more. Plus, they’ll be debuting their collaboration beer with Kings County Brewers Collective, Wilkyversary #1, a pomegranate sour. Free bottle pours and hourly giveaways are on tap, too. Things get underway Saturday at opening and run through Sunday close.

New Hours at LIC Beer Project

Because Wednesday is the Thursday of the midweek, LIC Beer Project (39-28 23rd St, Long Island City) now has Wednesday evening hours in their taproom for your drinking pleasure. 

Death Ave is Brewing

Manhattan’s newest brewpub is finally gearing up to launch their first beers. Death Ave Brewing Company (315 10th Ave, Chelsea) has had a brewpub license for over a year now, but their basement brewery has finally been fired up to brew their first batches. Keep an eye and ear for the debut of their house beers soon.

Nods to New York

There’s an arbitrary list of breweries put out seemingly every day in a national publication, but it’s still worth noting Beer Advocate’s “Class of 2016″ article, listing the nation’s top new breweries, included three from New York State, all of which will be familiar to NYC beer drinkers: Brooklyn’s own Interboro, Peekskill vet Jeff O’Neill’s new Industrial Arts in Rockland County, and the deservedly-hyped Suarez Family Brewery in Hudson.

Bottles and Cans and Just Clap Your Hands

Singlecut’s got fresh cans of Softly Spoken Magic Spells and their Imperial IPA Harry Doesn’t Mind at their taproom Friday at 4pm for $20 per 4-pack. Other Half drops cans of All Green Everything, All Citra Everything, Small Green Everything, and Double Dry Hopped Space Diamonds at their taproom on Saturday at 10am ($15-20/4-pk). Finback debuts their new MK Ultra, a double IPA dry hopped with Lemondrop and Simcoe ($17/4-pk), plus fresh cans of IPA and bottles of The Sun Is Too Bright, a black gose brewed with lemon peel and aged in red wine barrels ($11/bottle), on Saturday at 1pm.
