Dewey Beer Co. | Sun Camp (West Coast IPA)
October 7, 2024 | Zeke OttemillerMoving from San Diego to a small coastal town in Delaware was not as hard as one might imagine. Arriving to the East Coast in mid-January, I immediately missed the nearly perfect weather, but have now embraced seasonality and the beauty of change. When I find myself longing for SoCal, it’s not the sunshine, the surf or the endless summer that I am missing, it’s the beer. That is until Dewey Beer Co. released Sun Camp, a 6% West Coast IPA I now turn to when I’m California dreamin’.

Small Things In Big Countries | Alternate Endings & Queue Beer Collaboration
September 13, 2024 | Ruvani de Silva 1In a city of over 8 million people, in the top ten most diverse cities in the world, and with close to 50 craft breweries, it might come as a surprise to learn that there are just two Asian-Indian-owned craft beer bars in New York City. Carmine Street Beers in Greenwich Village, and Brooklyn’s Queue Beer are both owned by the Monteiro family. Dad Brian opened Carmine Street back in 2013, with sons Shane and Dean later joining the business. Inspired by hours spent working at Carmine Street between college classes, Shane launched Queue in hip Park Slope in 2023, with 24 taps, 80+ cans and seating for 46 guests. Committed to showcasing the best of local, national and international craft beer, the Monterios are also keen to highlight their Indian heritage and the endless possibilities Indian flavors offer to the craft beer market, to which end Queue operations manager Shane Monteiro has collaborated with Alternate Ending Beer Co. across the water in New Jersey to launch Small Things In Big Countries — a beer to celebrate Indian culture and cuisine.

With election season heating up we felt it was only appropriate for us to bring back our quarterly 2024 Presidential Debate Drinking Game to help add a little levity in the midst of all of the divisiveness and political strife.
Hashtags to Hops | The Hawk Tuah Beer Sensation
September 9, 2024 | Zach VanderGraaffIn June 2024, the internet was taken by storm with Hailey Welch’s viral “Hawk Tuah” video. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, perhaps it’s time to consider coming out from under the rock where you live. No, I won’t explain it to you, but let’s just say you shouldn’t go looking it up with your kids around. It’s not explicit by any means, but it’s certainly… umm… suggestive. Think PG–13, not R.
