A mobile blog about our culinary adventures around the world. Just like the title says the mobile muncher. I will blog from anywhere we are munching on anything I think is munchworthy ( yes I made that up) news or blog material.

The 3rd NYC cask festival

By Munch Master

We are at chelsea brewing company partaking in the 3rd. Annual nyc
cask festival. Nothing better than warm ale on a cool day... no really,
it brings out the flavor.
So the 5 muskateers are here; Teresa,Simon,John,Carla and of course,
yours truly. But enough about the drunks at the table including
me....lol and on to the reviews.
1st- Gwatkin 'norman cider' an uneventful hard cider easy on the
palette from Abbey Dore, Herefordshire, England

2nd- Pittsfield Brew Works 'chipotle brown' it's a nice brown with a
smokey beef flavor and a spicy finish. Great beer, but I am afraid I
would have heart burn after a few. Unique none the less.

3rd- Voodooo 'Big Black Voodoo Daddy'. All I have to say is STRONG
and DARK. 12.5% WOW. A bit bitter and very stout.

4th- Butternuts 'MOO THUNDER' boring bland and really no thunder and I
think they left the moo in the barn. Very disappointing, the name had
potential.

But there were great beers had by others at the table, for instance...
Carla had 'NUGGET NECTAR' yes you read it correctly and to spite the
name it was very tasty even though it's hard to order with a straight
face.
Teresa had a great american amber ale. John stumbled on a tart but
very tasty cuvee june and Simon didn't have a bad one to speak of.
But alass, as all good drunks must do it was food time, so off to the
'Strip House' with us. That's strip house as in 'NY strip' I don't know
what you were thinking. ;)
Up next strip house.

This was a ton of fun! My favorite beer of the day was the Southampton Scotch Ale. It was suprisingly smooth and tasty.

Looking forward to the Strip House post. :)

Cheers!
