    I love that you have Riesling on tap! Has that been done before? I have never seen that. The beer list looks tight too, but throw a bone to a brother and put at least one Washington brew on there!

    Joe, Washington brews will never be represented on my list! They’re a joke!
    Kidding! (Lower the slingshots, fair Washingtonians). In fact, I spent days in Seattle eagerly snarfing up your brews, and in “schooners”, no less. Check out my write-up on the Seattle hunt for Pliny the Elder: http://bit.ly/aCXl9E.

    I’m a big fan of Elysian, but sadly I don’t of any other WA beers available in NYC. Anyone else know?

    And Joe, Riesling on tap is truly a divine connection between our mortal selves and the heavens.

    Right now, we are one of three pouring in the city (the others are DBGB and Dinosaur BBQ). We get it through the Gotham Project Riesling run by the awesome Bruce Schneider and Charles Bieler.

    As a wine-obsessed person I might find it difficult to make it over to the brew list at Terroir, but I love a good brew as well.

    The entire Ommegang Brewery collection is worth a look. In particular the super-versatile Rare Vos and Hennepin. For those in favor of heavier Abbeys, the Abbey Ale is delightful.

    Another obvious choice would be the Dogfish Head 90min IPA. Just a classic and right in all kinds of ways.

    D-Rod, for a wine-obsessed person, your palate is dead on for the beers you recommend. I’m a huge fan of Dogfish and Ommegang and am rocking the Hennepin at Terroir EVil at the moment and had the Abbey Ale at both Hearth and Terroir in the winter months.

    Will definitely get some of Sam Calagione’s wackier creations from Dogfish on the list soon! The 90-minute has been voted as one of the Homebrewer’s Association’s top 3 beers of the year for the last few years running.

    Thanks for writing in!

    Second that vote for 90min. 120min also delicious, but for my money the 90 has it. But anything Calagione does is generally awesome. Major exception: festina peche. Don’t know what happened there.

    Recent faves have been Goose Island’s specialty brews. Friar Jacques (personal favorite, but amittedly I am an abbeyhead), Juliet, Matilda, Sophia, Burbon County Stout (a real smack in the pants). Jacques and Sophia top that list, for me.

    Rock on, Samantha, Goose Island is doing some killer brewing with their specialty Belgian line. I’ve got the Pere Jacques in bottle at Hearth and Terroir EVil at the moment. Doing the Sofie for the summer could be a cool seasonal choice. Love me some Saisson…

    Hilarious about the festina peche…I’ve heard people on both sides of it. Haven’t tried myself. I’m a peach at heart, though.

    this is so exciting to see you guys expand — i’m so thrilled. i’ve been waxing poetic about terroir in the east village and it’s nice that you now have a west side location (which is so much easier for me to get to). my liver thanks you! :) and the beer list looks fantastic – can’t wait to try!!

    Much thanks for all the support, Sassy. There’s no reason to make your liver work for its grape juice!
