River Horse Brewery Tripel Horse

-
River Horse Brewery from New Jersey is a new entry in the craft beer scene.  Started in 2007, based in Ewing, NJ, they have a diverse portfolio of brews.  Honestly I was not impressed by the Belgian Tripel Ale, it was overly bitter and not smooth at all.  The strong % provides a nasty aftertaste, and no River Horse can save the day- or is it a Hippo on the label?

10% ABV

4 out of 10 Jimmy Hoffa's-  keep it buried in the swamp

5 Stars, Dazzling & Uplifting Journey into the world of craft beer! We had the honor to join the filmmakers on Sunday December 8, 2024 for the world premiere of the documentary series United Crafts of America, as part of the 2024 Dances with Films independent film festival.   The series will be a six episode journey around the country, each episode featuring a different American city  The first episode featured New York City based Interboro Brewery and the story of the two co-founders Jesse Ferguson and Laura Dierks.  Unfortunately the series documents the brewery months before they were forced to close the doors on their Williamsburg taproom in late 2023.  UCA is produced by Subversal Films, Jonathan Adelson, and directed by Sergio Camacho.  Let's hope Interboro finds a new home, and opens up another taproom soon.  They are currently doing contract brewing for their brand at another location in Westchester, just north of the city. This film brings a wo...

On a recent visit to the flagship location of one of the hottest craft beer brands in NYC, I joined other NYU Alumni for a great night of networking for a true culinary experience hosted by Tara Hankinson, one of the co-founders of this women-owned brewery.     Along with LeAnn Darland, the other co-founder their combined namesake is the inspiration for their brand TALEA.     Talea was in the middle of breaking ground on their first location right in the middle of covid in 2020, and had its opening delayed until March 2021.       They are now rolling with having added their 4th location next to Bryant Park, earlier this winter.   They now have 2 locations in Brooklyn (Williamsburg and Carroll Gardens), and two locations in Manhattan (West Village and Midtown) as they pass their 6-year anniversary.   The Williamsburg location is where all their production takes place, and is a vibrant part of the North Brooklyn craft beer scene.  In their...

Talea Penn District (Now Open!)

Talea opened up a third Manhattan location just a few weeks ago!   Conveniently located near MSG and Penn Station, this latest installation of the women owned craft beer culinary infusion delivers a vibrantly colorful experience!   The menu is a nice blend of tap beer, wine, and crafty cocktails with all the Talea favorites just a block away from the Knicks and Rangers.     We visited on December 4th and our group had a great time, and ample seating.  One word of caution is that there is no kitchen or food offering yet, just some light prepackaged snacks.  Perfect for a place to grab a drink before a concert or event at MSG. Cheers! 160 West 32nd Street New York, NY, 10001
