![]() It drinks very dry (as advertised) with bready notes and a light bitterness. I broke the first rule by not drinking it out of the can, but then you, dear reader, could not see what the liquid itself looked like.Īs you see, it is clear and golden. In fairness, my tastebuds have changed and I can appreciate a light bitter beer like this as long as it’s well-made. Twist Off Extra Dry Lager reminds me of the easy drinking beer that many people learned to love in college and I just never developed a taste for. A very fresh juicy IPA with a fair amount of complexity throughout. The bitterness was smooth and approachable and very aromatic. But since then, they gave into the pressure and have quite a few IPAs on offer. Weird & Gilly was one of my favorites. When Singlecut first opened, they prided themselves on brewing lagers in a world of craft ales. It didn’t add much to the classic style, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The nice golden beer smelled of grains and honey and drank like a pretty traditional bitter lager with a subtle hint of elderberry at the end. This is a bock, so a bit stronger than you may expect but still not over the top at 6.6%. Like many of Singlecut’s beers, it veers on the side of classic lagers. I got the Nirvana reference but not completely sure how it works with elderberries for a pun. So since I recently downed a few of their beers, here is a round-up the way I used to do it in the olden days.įirst up, I sampled the All in All is All Maibock with Elderberries. It’s a bit out of the way for me in a further part of Astoria (my old old stomping grounds), but I always appreciated their lager-focused creations and was happy to see them on tap at any bar. I haven’t been to Singlecut Beersmiths in many years. Since I’m not visiting breweries at the moment (at least not for sitting in and drinking), I’m drinking a lot more beer at home and lately I found myself drinking a few different can offerings from an old time favorite in Astoria. And I always liked to order a flight or tasting to work my way through as many of their different offerings as possible. ![]() ![]() My search for the best beer in New York continues….īack in the “before days,” I used to visit and spend time at breweries. ![]()
