Dogfish Head Squall Has Hit Land at Birdsall House

After nearly a month of not blogging, it seams the flood gates have opened.  Hopefully we've not become blogoholics and hopefully no one has tired of our blogness.  Maybe this business really does make you insane? Or maybe it's the psychotrophic affects of heavily hopped beer...or maybe we just feel misunderstood.  We get extremely excited about RARE BOTTLES OF BEER - anyone else out there?:

36 BOTTLES DOGFISH HEAD SQUALL IPA HAS ARRIVED AT THE BIRDSALL HOUSE!

Thanks for listening.

Cheers,

Tim

New Lunch Menu

We've expanded our lunch menu!  And we've been doing our best to post our dinner menu (it changes daily, ya know) the day before or no later than the morning of.

We've also added a music page and updated our events page.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers

The Weekend

My fellow plebians, the streets of downtown Peekskill bustle with quite anticipation for the promises of a big weekend and an eventful coming week.   The Fab Fuax is arriving in town to serenade a packed house at the Paramount with Beatle tunes from the past.  And Chef has prepared an incredible menu for all you mop top fans to sink your teeth into.  And speaking of Music we are hosting an amazing singer, songwriter, and poet by the name of Steve Chizmadia on Sunday evening at 8:00pm.  Steve is a little bit country, little bit rock and roll, and a whole lot of good.  And let’s not forget about beer, an outstanding beverage that has been the glue for civilization from the beginning of time.  On Monday we have the Home Brewers Guild hosted by bartender and craft brewer,  “The Yeti” also known as Kevin.  The Guild talks, smells, tastes everything that is beer.   Last week we tapped a firkin of Dogfish Head 75 minute IPA for the guild, and coming on Monday the 24^th, we are going to tap two very rare pins of cask ale from Green Flash Brewery.   But let us not get ahead of ourselves.  This coming Tuesday the 18^th we are hosting a beer event with the Defiant Brewery.  For those of you not in the know the Defiant Brewery are our neighbors across the Hudson in Pearl River, NY.  We are going to have 12 one-offs from the Brewery.  What the hell is a one-off?  Well, a one-off is an awesome version of a style from a brewery that you can’t get anywhere else.  Cool, right!  So, drop what you’re doing, and make your way to Peekskill. 

Thank You!

We are rapidly approaching our two month anniversary and all is well at the Birdsall House.  And why are we so well?  Well my fellow citizens it is because of you.  After many months of constructing, cleaning, and preparing we were left with a beautiful house and grand ideas, but it is due to all of you walking through the door and filling our little ship with life, love, and laughter that has made The Birdsall House what it is today.   We raise a pint to you all.   Now, enough with the love letter and down to business.  Chef Matt, Tim, and I continue to forage the Hudson Valley with an ever watchful eye for local sustainable products to put on your plate and in your glass.  Presently, all our breads are coming from Wild Hive Farms.  Don and Amy, from Wild Hive, bake all our breads fresh to order using all local, organic ingredients from the Hudson Valley.  You can check them out in Clinton Corners where they also operate a café www.wildhivefarm.com .   We are getting most of our proteins from Hemlock Hill Farms form right here in Cortlandt Manor.  They are literally a few miles from our doorstep.   You can’t get much more local than that. Feel free to stop by and see John, Laura, and Oswaldo and pick up some local meats for your next barbeque www.hemlockhillfarm.com . Let us not forget about our veggies.  Red Barn Distributors, located in New Paltz, delivers us farm fresh vegetables form the Hudson valley two times a week.  Our to-go containers are even made from Sugarcane.  Why, you might ask, do we do this?  Well, to be honest saving the earth is not our main motivation.  We are committed to reducing our footprint and over time we will continue strive for a more sustainable type of establishment.  But for the present our main motivation is for our community.  Buying local helps our community by putting our money back into the local economy.  It makes our customers happier with better tasting food.  It makes us healthier not eating hormone filled meats or vitamin depleted frozen veggies.  And again we raise our locally brewed pint of Captain Lawrence Ale and thank you all for embracing our concept.  You all inspire us to put even more local products on your plates and in your glasses.
