New Beer - Dogfish Head Sahtea & Founders Devil Dancer

We just tapped two new kegs:  Dogfish Head Sah'tea - a sahti style beer apparently with roots in finland from the 9th century!  You can find more info on DF Sah'tea here.  We also tapped a keg of Founder's Devil Dancer, a imperial IPA clocking in at 12% abv.  Get it while you can - there are not too many kegs of Sah'tea out there.

New Menu and Other News

We've updated our menu format!  Our "laser like" menu has been revamped with fancy sections and headings (Sandwiches, Small Plates, etc.) to make it more user friendly.  It is also available as a PDF for easy printing.  The new menu can be found here.

For those of you who made it out for the Lagunitas event last night, thank you!  The event was a great success!  We poured some amazing beers and if you missed the event last night, there's still plenty of Lagunitas to go around.  Check out the draught list.

Next Tuesday at 6pm we'll be pour some beers from Harpoon Brewery's 100 Barrel Series and Leviathan Series.  A rare treat indeed.  The draught list is on the events page.  Music will be provided by our very own harpist, Adrienne Knauer.

This Sunday is Johnny's 40th birthday and his sister Shanna Sharp will be providing the music.  Please stop by - the party starts at 8pm.

 

Have a great weekend!

Best of Westchester

We've just been named the Best New Beer Bar in Westchester by Westchester Magazine!:

"Don’t ask for Stella, don’t ask for Bud: this is a serious beer bar for serious beer drinkers. Birdsall House’s Niagara Falls-like, 20-tap draft system specializes in local brews, with the vast majority of its beers sourced within a day’s drive. I.P.A., lager, pilsner, stout, ale, bock, lambic, weiss—you name it, they got it (and plenty more, besides). Even better, Birdsall House slings a sophisticated, beer-friendly menu, whose locavorian ingredients celebrate our region’s food as much as its beer."

Nebraska Hop God

 We purchased a case of this incredible beer about a month ago with the intention of laying it down for a couple years and letting it age, but after cracking one open we quickly realized that this Belgian-syle IPA had done enough aging in Chardonnay barrels at the brewery.  This ale is a real knock out, but we only have a limited quantity.  Pairs beautifully with Chef Matt's Ploughman's Lunch.
