Green Beer

I apologize for the lack of information lately but I was recently given a copy of Garret Oliver’s The Brewmaster’s Table and haven’t been able to pull myself from it.

Currently, I am working on an event with Mr. Oliver’s Brooklyn brewery for a new company called CityDusk so I’ve been reading up, getting my information straight and satisfying my unending quest for beer and food knowledge.

Speaking of beer—and organics, but we’ll get into that a bit later—there is an Organic Beer Festival this Saturday, October 25th, at Counter Restaurant in NYC. It’s a smaller fest located in a fine looking little vegetarian restaurant, but most people haven’t had the chance to taste more organic brews then Peak and Wolaver’s. At the last brewfest in NYC I attended Magic Hat was touting a new line of Organic beers which, unlike many other Magic Hat brews, had a taste as distinct as their marketing. Seems like this could be a tasty new movement in beer and it is gaining ground. Check it out if you can.
