Brooklyn Booze — Brooklynian

Where to watch the Cubs in the World Series?

Marco555 — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 19:40:50 +0000

A historic moment, indeed! Any Brooklyn suggestions?

Hoping for a place with some hype but not too much that you can't reach the bar for a drink.

Thanks in advance!

Weed delivery?

brooklyn321 — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 02:54:00 +0000

I don't know if this is technically legal, but I am looking to buy a small personal amount of weed and was wondering if anyone knows anything regarding the weed delivery services in Brooklyn (preferably WestSouthWest Brooklyn). I am aware they exist, but no where do I find contact info? I do not want to be arrested, mugged, or robbed please. Any info?

What Wines Do You Like to Drink?

I recently discovered Hecula, a Spanish red (monastrell or mourvèdre grape) with a medium body and fruity (blackberry and cherry) character. It's dry and silky smooth (after it breathes a bit). Moreover, it's a bargain. I bought a few bottles for about $10 each. What are you drinking?

A Brooklynian Christmas toast

dailyheights — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 18:14:37 +0000

Inspired by this ad for a make-your-own bloody mary bar, we celebrated high noon with BLT Marys (bacon, romaine, tomato juice) and for a non pork-eater, a Seafood Mary (shrimp cooked in tomato juice and served with the same tomato juice it was cooked in). Talk about viral advertising!

Three Olives vodka

Where can I buy this stuff? I want to make cherry slushes for the NFL playofffs.

Side note: whilst home for Xmas in my small hometown of 17,000, two of our three liquor stores had the full selection of this what I thought was a specialty liquor. Where I grew up, the liquor stores are just in the supermarket as a special section.

A bar that offers cheap drinks and has alot of females...

Absolut Brooklyn

I assume you can contact the ad agency for sales venues. Other option, go to the manager of a liquor store you patronize and ask if he can hook you up.
BTW, IMO - Love the concept - hate the taste.

Help me find a beer! Not just any beer...

unrepentant fenian — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:50:24 +0000

So I stopped into Bierkraft in January and grabbed a case worth of interesting beers. One of the liter bottles rang up around $32, but I snatched it up anyway thinking I have to try it. It was a Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops (Russian Imperial Stout). This may be the greatest beer I have ever had. To the point I have cause to celebrate this week and I would love to track down a bottle. Apparently it was a limited run so I'm having some trouble finding one. If anyone knows where I might be able to score one I would be appreciative.

Absolut Brooklyn Vodka!

outside child — Thu, 20 May 2010 19:12:19 +0000

Absolut Vodka may soon be giving New Yorkers a taste of Brooklyn.

According to The Daily News, the vodka maker enlisted the help of Brooklyn-raised director Spike Lee to create a new spirit.

The one-liter bottle features a brownstone apartment on the label, with a number from Lee's childhood home in Cobble Hill. And in celebration of the Big Apple, it's flavored with red apple and ginger.

The paper says the bottles will hit stores this week, and will cost $24.99 each.

The News says as part of the campaign, Absolut will give back to the borough – donating $50,000 for affordable housing in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

London Pride Ale

Hi All!

My husband is a Brit and is missing his fav ale - London Pride. We used to be able to find it at the Chip Shop on Atlantic Ave but they stopped carrying it. Does anyone know where they might have it on tap or bottle in Brooklyn?

Thanks,

A

Anyone know of a liquor store in Crown Heights / Park Slope that sells Strongbow or Woodpecker Cider? Thanks

Firefly vodka

carmen — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:42:43 +0000

I want some.

Basically this company makes sweet tea flavored vodka that is all the rage in the southeast (where I'm from) and I have no clue where to buy it here. The website says they distribute to NY, and I called the distributor but haven't been able to get through. Has anyone seen this stuff anywhere?! It's REALLY popular in the southeast so I imagine it'll hit the rest of the country at some point (it came out about 6 months ago) but I'd love to get some for a dinner party im having in a few weeks!

Brewery tours

toadette — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:54:00 +0000

SO's birthday coming up and I was thinking doing a brewery tour with him and some friends (followed by a meal) might make for a nice celebration. I thought about the Brooklyn Brewery, though some light googling of reviews suggests that their tour isn't very...extensive/informative or long enough to justify everyone trekking out there. Am I wrong?

Then I thought about Sixpoint, but their website, while cool-looking, makes my head hurt (I couldn't find any info about whether they do tours and if so when).

Does anyone have any experience with these tours and can recommend one over the other? I'd also be interested in hearing about tours of Blue Point, though Patchogue is a bit far for this occasion.

Pinot Noir

domino — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 12:38:57 +0000

Got hooked on Pinot Noir recently and trying to find decent priced ones ($10-$20) to sample and commit to. Used to buy Little Penguin (Aussie) - can never find it anymore. Branched out to Mark West, Rodney Strong, Elk Cove - all good but looking for something that makes my socks roll up and down. Or is such a bargain that I can't NOT get it. SUGGESTIONS????

Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout

j0518 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:20:06 +0000

Is anyone still spotting this in stores? Bierkraft hasn't had it in ages.

I've been able to get in on tap at Spitzer's Corner in the LES, but would love to stash away a couple of bottles.

Watching Bills/Broncos Game in BK

limestonekid — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 13:05:03 +0000

Does anyone know of any good spots to catch this afternoon's Bills @ Broncos game?

Some place other than Buffalo Wild Wings in Atlantic Center or Leo's Corner Bar over in Carroll Gardens.

What about Farrell's? Can I get the Bills game there or will it be Jets, Jets, Jets since the games are on at the same time.

Party at bar in Brooklyn?

rosiev — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:58:02 +0000

Hi! I'd love to celebrate my birthday at a bar in Brooklyn, and i could use some advice ... Anyone knows some good places, reasonably priced? I'll probably have about 30 people over, and good vibe and good music (dancing!) would be great. Neighborhood doesn't matter too much, as long as it's convenient to get to on the train. THANKS!!

Out of curiousity, how much do you spend on a bottle of wine?

Lost Found...

rtraindweller — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 17:40:53 +0000

Last night at Lost & Found (aka favorite bar) I was informed that they are closing Sunday night. They have been bought by Alligator Lounge and will close for two weeks for renovations and I'm sure a revamp of the bar's entire appeal. Basically what I'm expecting is a suckfest. So I invite anyone who's ever enjoyed L&F and its free hot dogs and awesome music and never crowdedness, to come say a proper farewell to the bar tonight and tomorrow.

besus — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:57:07 +0000

Has anyone seen this beer? I think it's Dutch, or perhaps Belgian. The folks at Biercraft haven't heard of it...I was wondering if anyone has come across it in their travels, and if anyone knew of a place that might carry it...

National Rum Day!!

MOD — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:21:55 +0000

From SeriousEats.com

A few weeks ago, I pondered if this was the Summer of Rum, but ponderin’ time is over. Go decorate the sugarcane tree, sing pina colada carols and hang your tiki mugs by the fireplace because National Rum Day is coming up quick.

Who designates these things? Who knows. But the authority thought this Saturday, August 16 was the right day. Not that anybody needed another excuse to mix a mojito on a mid-August weekend. Just in case you did, know that you'll be participating in a nationwide culinary tradition that dates all the way back to, well, at least last year.

Go forth this weekend and be merry! :drunken: :drunken:
So what's your favorite rum or rum drink?

New Bar at the Cornerstone?

davidg8089 — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:56:16 +0000

I've hear a rumor that a new bar will be opening on Cortelyou Rd where the Cornerstone was. There seems to be some construction going on there. Has anyone else heard anything?

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

fivefifths — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:32:15 +0000

In a bottle. Not the regular Guinness Extra Stout commonly available in bodegas here. These bottles are taller and shaped different and are 7.5% alcohol instead of the lame 3.75 % of these american ones. This is the Guinness that is sold in the Caribbean. Has anyone seen anyone anywhere in Brooklyn selling it? I am having serious withdrawal...
