Liquor License Crackdown in Williamsburg?
Reprinted in full, here’s an item from Brooklyn 11211 this morning: “On Tuesday, the Executive Committee of CB1 Brooklyn voted unanimously to institute a moratorium on new liquor licenses in Williamsburg, Greenpoint and the rest of North Brooklyn.

Reprinted in full, here’s an item from Brooklyn 11211 this morning: “On Tuesday, the Executive Committee of CB1 Brooklyn voted unanimously to institute a moratorium on new liquor licenses in Williamsburg, Greenpoint and the rest of North Brooklyn. The vote was a response to what the leaders of CB1 see as an over saturation of liquor licenses in the area. The Board’s Public Safety Committee, which reviews liquor license applications, met last night to discuss the issue, and left with more questions than answers. The Committee did not vote on a moratorium, but the issue is sure to come at next Tuesday’s full board meeting.” Whoa! Will be interesting to find out what the full board has to say about this.

I flew home from college once with 6 40’s of st. ides in a backpack because they didn’t sell it in my home town. my friends were so grateful until they tasted it.

JB, agreed.
There used to be a 40oz brand called Crazy Horse,
it was pretty good from what I recall.
But then again, it seemed to have the effect of
retroactive amnesia. Where you forget what happened
immediately before and after you drank it.
My favorite is (or, was) St Ides High Gravity, with Steel Reserve at #2. I don’t drink them so much anymore, though.
Hell, 10 years ago, I could tell you which bodegas sold HG’s and often, how much they cost. (That was when I lived in Manhattan, though.) Funny thing is, it was cheaper to buy 2 22 oz bottles than a single 40 oz, which makes absolutely no sense.
I’m getting old, now.
are we going to have a discussion about blind tasting women?

Please tell me you [at least] drink High Gravity malts.
There’s no reason to drink 4% abv malts, like Colt 45.
OE800, sometimes St ides but those have a strange rotten berry flavor.
