Bay to Breakers - May 19. 2009

It was tough to run (due to crowds), but loads of fun (fun crowds). My favorite though had to be the flying tortillas!

Ode to Lenora's Way

Lenora's Way had a special place in my Brooklyn life. It was our local and sadly shut it's doors over the weekend. The atmosphere was non pretentious and with over 100 craft beers, there was always something new and different to try. I have a lot of memories there, even though there would be months between my visits. It was a relaxed place and unique for the hood that I really thought it would make it. I never did make it to the garden... Thanks for the memories.

The Brooklyn Beer Experiment

What a turn-out during an early summer Sunday. This was a cook-off for more than 25 dishes made with beer and local homebrewers offered their samples. The winners were chosen by both an official judges panel and audience votes.

My favorites were the Air Mail IPA, Joshua Knowlton (also Audience Vote Winner) and second, Squirrel Tail Double IPA.

For food my favorite was "You can have your brew and eat it too" from Bonnie Suarez. It was a curry-chicken salad topped with spicy, pickled raisins on beer bread and I don't even like chicken!
