I...Ron, don't omit The Gingerman on this trip. If you do, you will miss out on the best NYC has to offer in the beer world IMO. Just don't go too late, when it can get very crowded.<br /><br />Also, Stout, which you have visited, is better than ever in terms of the resolute focus on the drink of that name. If the draft list does not appeal (unlikely), it has a superb bottled selection of stouts, both American and International. <br /><br />One last recommendation is the bar at DBGB on Bowery. Apart from an excellent U.S. selection, it has a very well chosen international one including usually different historical German beers (on draft) made by a revivalist in Bavaria, I can't recall who now. Last year I tasted a Lichtentainer there (sorry for any misspelling, but I mean the sourish wheat beer connected to Berliner Weisse) that was amazing.<br /><br />GaryGary Gillmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-36337800458093881072011-04-21T23:49:47.582-07:002011-04-21T23:49:47.582-07:00Dave, you'll have to wait until next Tuesday f...Dave, you'll have to wait until next Tuesday for the completed version of "India PAle Ale vs. India Porter".
