Your correspondent’s trip to the New World is fast drawing to a close. So many beers, so little time. I hope to finish with a sprint. Lots of beers in the photo gallery. Firstly, it’s Brooklyn Pilsener. Mrs botf dragged …
I see elephants / Delerium Tremens
Botf followers familiar with Sydneys Belgian Beer Cafes would have come across this one. The barman served me this with a warning, “this makes you hallucinate”. At 8.5% alcohol I can see why. Still, like it’s other Grey Dog brethren, …
Belfast Bay / Lobster Ale
Lobster Ale from Belfast Bay Brewing in Belfast, Maine. Another of the quality offerings from The Grey Dog. Dark for ale, it was smooth and low on the fizz. Disappointed that there was no branded glass. A common result of …
Freaks Favourite Beer
Note correct spelling in blog title. Coney Island Lager. Mrs botf and I have found that our local, The Grey Dog, has a happy hour from 4 – 7pm. Giddyup! Perfect timing after a day on the metro in NYC. …
Chelsea / The Grey Dog

Citi Field / Mets 6 Giants 3
Cold Beer. Cup says it all. Not only cold, but quality. Hoegaarden. Your author reviewed attending the cricket and drinking the beer at the SCG a few weeks back. In the US there is just no comparison. I paid USD …

Mexican Munchen / Negra Modelo
I punched out a few of these at the previously mentioned Dos Caminos. Therefore anything I state here is not to be trusted. Described as a “Munich style Dunkel beer” these slid down easily and were thick and tasty for …
14th St / Dos Caminos
Trust me. This is Dos Caminos (Two Friends). The DSE and I had a big one and tried a few bars walking home after dinner. We were fairly hammered by now so the photo ain’t the best. The place was …
