Yesterday we toasted the 4-year anniversary of our engagement. Amtrak delivered us to Penn Station and within 20 minutes we (and our suitcases) were at Rattle and Hum, named by Draft Magazine as 1 of the top 100 beer bars in the U.S. We discovered brewery decor galore and a chalkboard boasting 40 beers on tap plus 1 cask.
Kelly ordered Pearl Street's Dankenstein Imperial IPA on cask then Kuhnhenn's Foreign Export Stout, a fantastic example of the style. As usual, I opted for a sampler - Schmaltz' He'Brew Messiah Nut Brown Ale, Greenport Harbor's Black Duck Porter (best of the lineup), Sixpoint's Otis (oatmeal stout), and Butternuts' Brutus Imperial IPA.
We had a weekend of drinking ahead so called it quits after lunch and hailed a cab to Brooklyn, where the remainder of our posts will take place.
