city beer storewednesday, september 2nd, 2009
city beer store is one of my favorite places to grab a beer, mainly because i can sip on one of six taps while perusing an impressive bottle selection. i wish more bottle shops were able to do this.
- if you’re claustrophobic, i would recommend coming here at an off time or during the week. the place isn’t that big and can get super crowded. yesterday night (tuesday) all tables were full, but there were some seats available by the taps. it’s not a big deal though, as i’m usually on my feet checking out their fridges or shelves.
- i have also noticed that city beer has good prices compared to their competition. many times i will go here to price out somewhat hard to find beers that are going for a few bucks more at other places. the owners are great too, very friendly and accomodating.
- cb started with the bruery’s hottenroth berliner weiss, which is a great example of the style. word on the street is that they are planning on bottling this one, so that is something to keep an eye out for.
- i ordered up a mini-flight of dogfish head palo santo marron 2008&2009. the ’09 was a little hot, but not overwhelmingly so. i dont normally drink a lot of browns, but i’m glad these guys got poured, they were definitely tasty.
- to finish off the night, a bottle of allagash victoria 2009 was popped. when we ordered up the bottle, cb asked me what style it was, and i told him we’d have to figure it out firsthand. however, after a few sips, i was still at a loss. beer advocate labels it a “belgian strong pale.” it was very drinkable (kinda sweet and fruity) with a floral aroma, but i don’t think i’m gonna be stocking up in the near future.
- the best part about drinking at city beer? i left with a fresh bottle of fantome saison, cantillon cuvee des champions, new belgium la folie, brouwerij van steenberge’s monk’s cafe, and ichtegem’s grand cru!
