Iāve really enjoyed spending time at the new Craft + Carry bottle shop and tap room on St. Markās Place in the East Village! My friend Ayano turned me on to it when they opened, and now, whenever Iām in the area, I pop in to see what interesting brews they may have on tap or in their multiple coolers.
The feature 16 different rotating beers on tap from around the country...
Thin Manās āTwilight Sparkleā, a dry-hopped boysenberry sour, was tart and tasty...
Edmundās Oastās āSomething Coldā was a refreshing blonde ale...
They offer these outstanding Lillieās chips as snacks to pair with your pints...
Finding The Brueryās āTweleve Drummerās Drummingā on tap here was a surprise as I thought they were only up to 11, which means I have two missing bottles to find...
And the owner is a huge B-movie and VHS fan, so thereās always something interesting playing at C+C (Critters 2 yesterday!) and the bathroom has lots of crazy, classic art to enjoy...
I forgot to take pics, but they also have a wall of big beer fridges chilling hundreds of domestic and internartional cans and bottles, so if youāre ever down in the area, drop by to take something home or sit down and pound a pint or two. Theyāll always have something youāve never heard of to enjoy!
