So, the Long Ireland + Blind Bat Spring 2012 Collaboration Saison has been dubbed the official beer of Long Island Craft Beer Week!
The lion’s share of this one-time brew has been hitting local beer stores in 750 ML bottles, but four casks were also filled for a “SimulCask” tapping at four locations -- and that will be happening tonight at 8:00 PM.
I’ll be at The Cortland for this, but a representative from Long Ireland will be at each of the four locations:
*The Cortland, 27 West Main Street, Bay Shore
* The Black Sheep Ale House, 78 2nd ST., Mineola
* Tap and Barrel, 550-8 Smithtown Bypass, Smithtown
* Corrys Alehouse, 3274 Rairoad Ave, Wantagh
If you are at The Cortland tonight, say hello!
Tomorrow night (Tuesday the 15th) I’ll be at The Black Sheep Ale House while Hellsmoke Porter and Eye Chart Ale are on tap. A test batch of Eye Chart was poured last year at the North Fork Craft Beer Festival, this will be the debut of a tweaked recipe - it’s now an Imperial E.S.B, 7.5% ABV. So beware!

Happy Earth Day, Earthlings!
Was out and about on Long Island’s North Fork running various errands yesterday, and stopped in at Long Ireland Brewery to say hi and check in on the Saison we brewed together a few weeks ago. Got to have a sip via the sample port, it is coming along very nicely. Looking forward to getting it bottled up and carbonated, the majority of the release will likely be cork-and-caged 750 ML bottles. Expected to be out in time for Long Island Craft Beer Week, our label is below:
Back to Blind Bat Brewery’s planned expansion, a building in Bohemia (below) is still beckoning. I’m hoping to have details and investment funding worked out in the near future. There is a bit to be worked out still, but it is looking promising. Looking forward to bigger capacity and brewing more beer.
Finally, our new T-shirts and glasses are in. We sought out shirts made in the USA, sweat-shop free. The glasses, while Belgian style, are also made in the USA. Now available in our new online store, but these will also be available in person when we are back in the Farmers’ Markets (and also when we are in our new space --- which will have a tasting room / retail space).
