  Brian A. Duffy, (Brian.Duffy@mountsinai.org) reports:Only open to the public on Friday nights from 6ish to 10ish. You buy beer chips to get beer, usually 5.50 for 2 chips. ON tap is the standard Lager, Pislner Pennant Ale, seasonal wheats which I love, their reknowed chocolate stout, a new and award winning IPA. It's one of the coolest scenes left in New York. Snuggled in Williamsburg surrounded by artists from all over the world, you walk into a coverted storage room with picnic tables and a local jazz band. You can bring in food from the outside, and you can borrow Monopoly or checkers by leaving ID to play games and quaf.

  (BP)Hyde Park Brewing Co., 514 Albany Post Rd

  skitch1@aol.com reports: The Hyde Park Brewing Co. has a nice brew pub on Rte. 9 just north of Poughkeepsie NY. The menu looks pretty well rounded ranging from fine barfood, wings, soups, pizzas to more substantial fair as burgers and club sandwiches. For starters I reccomend the Sampler tray of beers. All ales. British golden Mild was almost dry yet smooth and nicely hopped. The American Red Ale was sweet, hoppy and had a pleasant long finish. The Stout was a little thin but still chocolatey with a nice roasted grain nose. Not too dry. The Brewers choice that day was a Dunkel Wiess that had hints of clove and cinnamon but an edgey finish. Very interesting and refreshing. The best was the Porter, which the owner let us preview. It was very roasted in nature, dark ruby in color and very full bodied. A must for dark ale drinkers. They also had Ruffian Rasberry Wheat and Redhook Rye on tap. Overall good beers but the porter was great!

  (BP)Time Square Brewery, Time Square

  Chuck Sheldon, (skitime3@cs.com) reports:After a long day of sightseeing in the NY city area, this is really a great place to unwind. Located in Time Square, is is on the second floor overlooking the square itself. The wall facing the square is made of solid glass so all of the goings on at street level can be seen from vertually every table. The food acually comes in large portions. We had the New York Burger and it took up the whole plate! The micro's themselves were also very tasty with eight beers on tap at the time. After the tasters, we ended up having a couple of pints of the Pale Ale..(not to be missed)The interesting part of the brewery was the brew vats were actually elevated above your head off to the side on the third floor visible while dining.Rating 1-10 (8)

  Skitch (skitch1@aol.com) reports: Has several fresh brewed beers on tap. I'm partial to the Best Bitter and Nutbrown Ales. He also has a Wheat and Golden Lager as well as a Porter and a Red Ale. Good, but not great beers. I've noticed incremental improvements in recent months in his bitter and nut brown (I don't often drink the others). The food is very good and so is the atmosphere.

  (MB)Middle Ages Brewing Company 120 Wilkinson Street (315) 476-4250

  Brian Baker (brbaker@gw.dec.state.ny.us) reports:They had seven draft beers available for tasting and growler filling in their tap room, as well as their usual bottled offerings. The tastings were well done as well as generous, with the beers leaning toward English and Scottish ales. Not a bad brew in the bunch. The Scottish ales (Kilt Tilter, at 8%ABV, and Highlander) were highlights, as was the new IPA (all Cascade, nice balance). Marc Rubenstein, the owner & brewmaster, gives an excellent, informative tour, and really explains the brewing process well without a lot of sales/PR BS. Their beers are also available (some cask conditioned) at the Blue Tusk tavern in Armory Square. Highly recommended.
