See that map? Know what it is?

Put together by Gridskipper, it’s a map of 8 places in NYC that brew (and sell) their own beer and spirits! (Well, in one case it’s wine. And the grapes come from California. But still!)

I love beer and especially love the experience of local breweries, and was recently lamenting the sad lack of such places here in NYC. Guess I was wrong! Shamefully, I’ve never been out to the Brooklyn Brewery, but it’s tops on my list now (maybe even this Friday). And though I have been to the lame Westside Brewing Co., somehow I missed the fact that they actually do brew some beers of their own. For years now I’ve thought their name was a shameless, bold-faced lie!

Guess I better get in there and drink down some penance, right quick!
