( Read it here, he’s a fascinating brewer!) Among the things that were awesome about this interview: Pete was wearing a bathing suit. This punk photo of Pete Lengyel, co-owner and brewer at Kings County Brewers Collective (KCBC), was taken after a three hour interview for a piece I was writing for Ale Street News.(Read: I was the only person in the bar and cleaned the shop, twice.) I popped a pic of the latest can release from Greenpoint Beer and Ale: SMaSH Street Extra Pale Ale, still a fave. I took this one AT Brouwerij Lane during a slow shift on a Tuesday afternoon.Thanks for the beer mail, Oskar Blues! (I’m also wearing my sweet Telfar White Castle beanie, which may have boosted the likes on this one.)
I was checking out Oskar Blues‘ first release of Hotbox Coffee IPA, which I don’t think exists anymore, but I dug enough to post a photo of.
This #selfie was taken before a Friday night shift at Brouwerij Lane, a badass beer shop in Greenpoint, where I was working at the time. I’m holding a tall, frosty can of Dogfish SeaQuench Ale, which I touted as the stadium’s best beer and which has since been named the 2017 winner of Brewbound‘s ‘Beer Product of the Year’ award, as well as noted Men’s Health ‘Best Low-Cal Beer.’ It was pouring rain, and the beer was like $19, but I savored every last chug. Pat took this one at an Incubus concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey. Or, let’s be honest: it’s because it’s an Other Half can. As for the likes, I like to think it was the extra effort I put into the shot (matching teal backdrop, delicate crystal styling…), or maybe the inspiration I got thanks to the person who gave it to me, Miguel Rivas (AKA the Beer Trekker a pro beertographer). I was super excited about this beer because it was the first collaboration between the two breweries-two of New York’s best-and it was a pilsner, which was my jam pretty much all summer. Unsurprisingly, the number one post was an artful shot of Other Half x Transmitter‘s Crystal Waves Pilsner. Here’s What People Liked the Most in 2017 What really resonated with people, it seems, are the everyday moments of my experiences with beer. Kicking back on the couch with a Lizard King. Hoisting a pint at my favorite local pub, Keg and Lantern. Interviewing Pete Lengyel for a personality profile in Ale Street News. Cracking a can of Oskar Blues Hotbox IPA before a shift at Brouwerij Lane. Of course, every moment of my love affair with beer is special to me, and some of these moments are meaningful, but what I found really interesting is how many of them are, well, sorta not. The “2017 Best Nine.” I thought it was a silly trend at first, but eventually came around to see the value in what viewers liked the most on the Instagram account over the course of 2017.
