I've chosen this beer so many times in misc rando nyc bar settings that I should say how much I like this beer, and I believe I just did.
To my chagrin, their website's "About" section is... well, let's call it literary and corn ball, so I can't say much more, except that the founder-owners met in a magical place where folks know a thing or two about beer (MKE, WI). One of the lads was a home brewer. Nevertheless, they are making #epic cans of beer, and it's my goto in hyped up nyc, where beer menu choices, service and flavas often scream #meh.
These guys Six Point guys are the top of the bell curve where the rubber meets the road. Here, you figure them out: http://sixpoint.com/beers
This cider may be my favorite drink-- Doc's is ROCKING a hopped hard cider that is magnificent by every measure, from appearance, to aroma, to thin, crisp perfectly hopped (!) flavor, to a medium ABV.
I've hopped hard cider at home, and always wondered why no commercial hard cider is hopped. Well, that's over.
This stuff is just redonkyouluss!

From Kingston, NY comes Kegan Ale's Mother Milk Stout-- it's a wonderful thing by every measure, except, texture or mouth feel, which could be a little more thick for mine.

Peekskill Brewery's Kneel Before Zod Double IPA from the beer machine cask is a extraordinary and highly highly highestly recommended to hop heads.
Nobody should need to be told how good the beer at PB is, so why would I?
