Attention DRINKERS and BAR OWNERS / MANAGERS ALIKE… THIS IS THE ‘TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT’ PAGE! Suggested local alternatives to common beer brands from global manufacturers Do you regularly stick with the same brand of mass-produced beer irregardless of what other choices are available? Why not be adventurous for once and try a locally-brewed, fresher, craft alternative? Here are some suggestions – all of which are brewed within 300 miles of New York City. You never know, you may prefer the local brew – and you’ll have the added bonus of knowing you’re supporting local craftsmanship and the local economy rather than funding giant corporations… PBR, Budweiser, Miller, or Coors (inc. Light) from the can: try Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, New England Elm City Lager, and Brooklyn Lager (draft & cans). Corona, Budweiser, Michelob, Miller, or Coors (inc. Light) from the bottle: try Brooklyn Lager, Victory Prima Pils, Blue Point Toasted Lager, Smuttynose Portsmouth Lager, and Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Stella Artois, Heineken, Beck’s, Kronenbourg 1664, Spaten Lager, or Harp: try Victory Prima Pils, Brooklyn Lager, Kelso Hop Lager, Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, and Shmaltz Coney Island Lager. Bass, Boddington’s, Smithwick’s, Whitbread Pale Ale, Old Speckled Hen, or Abbot Ale: try Butternuts Pork Slap (draft & cans), Sly Fox Phoenix Pale Ale (draft & cans), Captain Lawrence Freshchester Pale Ale, Brooklyn Ale/Pennant Pale Ale, Chelsea Standard Ale, Victory Uncle Teddy’s, Blue Point ESB, and Stoudt’s Scarlet Lady. Hoegaarden or Blue Moon: try Ommegang Witte, Victory Whirlwind Wit, Brooklyn Blanche de Brooklyn, Weyerbacher Blanche, Magic Hat Circus Boy, Long Trail Belgian White, Southampton Double White Ale, Butternuts Heinnieweisse (draft & cans), and Legacy Midnight Wit. Newcastle Brown Ale or Leffe Brune: try Sixpoint Brownstone, Brooklyn Brown Ale, Ipswich Dark Ale, Chelsea Nut Brown Ale, Troegs Rugged Trail, Ithaca Nut Brown, and Smuttynose Old Brown Dog. Leffe Blonde: try Sixpoint Sweet Action, Chelsea Checker Cab, and Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold. Killian’s Irish Red: try Thomas Hooker Irish Red, Chelsea Sunset Red, and Legacy Hedonism Ale. Guinness or Beamish: try Ipswich Oatmeal Stout, Victory Donnybrook Stout, Sixpoint Otis, Chelsea Gotham Stout/Cream Stout/Black Hole XXX Stout, Blue Point Oatmeal Stout, Sly Fox O’Reilly’s Stout, and Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter. Also, in any of the Heartland Brewery pubs, try Heartland Farmer Jon’s Oatmeal Stout. The general message is that it’s a win-win situation for all except voracious corporations if you support the art, skill, and diversity of true craft brewing over the tsunami of tasteless, mass-produced, homogenized beer that threatens to wash away our newly rediscovered brewing heritage. 133
