My wife and I are going to Philly and NYC for a few days.  I'm looking forward to some beer/pub research.

I was in NYC last weekend.  The local homebrewers (a great bunch, BTW) met me at Rattle N Hum near The Empire State Building.  I think it was on 33rd between 5th and Madison.  They have a web site.

Great selection!  They had an IPA festival recently, so many were still on tap.  They had 5 gravity casks and 2 hand pumps, plus something like 40 taps.  I didn't have food while there, but what I saw looked great (like a proper English breakfast).

Two big thumbs up if you're in midtown.

I'll have to give them another chance.  The one time I was there I had the worst bartender I've ever had (and I have been to a few bars in my day).  Normally when I sit at the bar I get a little faster service than at a table, but not with this guy.  My first three choices from the cask menu were out (ha had to check with a server to find this out on each request) so I decided to get a sampler of 4 small glasses.  20 minutes later and he only had three of the four.  I think he was stoned or hung over or otherwise unable to remember simple tasks, like glance at a customer on occasion.
My favorite pub in Manhattan is Blind Tiger in the W. Village.
Philly has too many favorite pubs.  What a great beer town.

No brewing, but lots of packaging work to be done. I'm bottling my BoPils for the Pilsner Urquell competition tomorrow. I also need to transfer an IPA to another keg after hitting it with gelatin so I can transport it to my brother's b-day party Saturday. And finally I wrap up the weekend with my son's 6th birthday party Sunday. It's a kids party, so plenty of drinking will be requied afterwards.

I have a yeast slurry to use, so I'll be making either a faux pils/cream ale/Kolsch type ale or a brown porter (because I have a hankering for a Black Butte clone).  Still stocking up for football season and a full crew each Sunday!

[sparkleberry]

gonna bottle a batch of porter and brew a pale ale.  pretty excited about this because it will be the first pale I've brewed.

Finally going to get to brew an Irish red I've been trying to get done for 2 weeks now.

Been wanting to knock out a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter clone for a while now. My wife and her best friend love the stuff. OK...so do I! Should be ready to drink by the end of September.....Perfect!

A Sorachi Ace Saison  split batch w/ WY3711 in one and T-58 in the other, maybe blending it back together after a few taste trials . .

Also, cleaning / sanitizing about two dozen kegs and doing the same on about 60 wine bottles.

I might brew one final hefeweizen for the season.  Actually, I might brew a dunkelweizen.  Definitely bottling/corking my 2010 dry mead.

I'm brewing an oak ale. I've been brewing for years and never made anything oaked. Be interesting to see whether or not I like the results!

Cheers!

I am participating in the Blue Collar BBQ & Arts Fest in a town nearby. I am setting up a tent as an artist, as a member of a new club called the Unsettled Ale Society, and I will be brewing a batch of beer on site. I am making an IPA along the lines of Green Flash. I will try to post some pics tomorrow, er, later today. Wow, it's late...

Kegging 10 gallons of Oatmeal Stout, racking and dry hopping 10 gallons of Pliny clone.

Either a Pumpkin Ale for the fall or an Oatmeal Stout. One will get done this weekend and the other the following week or 2.  Pretty excited for the Pumpkin Ale thought,

Double brewing Bo Pils today. Done with first one working on the second now.

[Malticulous]

I chilling a dark wheat now. 45% 2-row, 44% raw wheat (half of it lightly toasted,) 6% pale chocolate and carafa II and the rest a blend of crystal malts. I cereal mashed the wheat with one pound of the 2-row. It's about a $10 batch, as cheap as I can make one. The mash took a couple of hours. I bought a 27 lb bucket of raw wheat for $11.
