RJ Rockers Son of a Peach Wheat Ale

-
Founder Mark Johnsen started RJ Rockers in Spartanburg, South Carolina back in 1997.   Mark learned the art of brewing while being stationed in Germany after the Gulf War.   Son of a Peach is now the most popular selection in their portfolio.  Once started as a seasonal but now available all year round, this unfiltered wheat ale fills out the tasting notes with real South Carolina peaches.   This one is definitely a leader in the category of fruit flavored American wheat beers.

6.0% ABV

8/10 Peach Cobbler's

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...

Brooklyn's Craft Beer brand Sixpoint now has a new taproom in Downtown Brooklyn (City Point) and in Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan.  Sixpoint was established in Red Hook Brooklyn back in 2004, and is entering their next phase of their craft journey with this new expansion.  This tourist accessible venue located near the 9/11 Museum and WTC Tower, is also a great place for New Yorkers to enjoy some great craft beer.   As part of the new Artisanal Brewing Ventures Group, regional offerings from Southern Tier, Victory, and Hard Rock Cider are all available at the taproom and in to-go cans.   Southern Tier also has a separate distillery brand that offers RTD cocktails, spirits, as well as a dynamic inspired cocktail menu to pair with a great American style comfort food menu.  I visited on a weekend afternoon this past month in celebration of National Beer Day, and the kid friendly atmosphere is a great place to watch a game!  You can also enjoy some of Six...

As one does on the NYC craft beer trail these days, is pay a weekend visit to Brooklyn.   Endless Life just celebrated their 3 year anniversary, founded by long time Brooklyn resident Jeff Lyons in Crown Heights (right off Atlantic Avenue).  Endless Life had the honor of hosting one of the final events of the 2024 NYC Beer Week, with the Ruppert's Cup Awards.  Endless is one of the smallest microbreweries in the city, and has a commitment to use locally sourced NY State ingredients (Hops and Malts) including Malts from New York Craft Malt from upstate New York.  One of the best entries is the lambic inspired sour oak barreled aged Satellite Are Spinning which comes in at 5.6% ABV.   They also carry Fort Hamilton Distilled spirits on hand for some nifty cocktails.  If you are feeling hungry after a couple pints, you can order from Memphis Soul and they will delivery tasty chicken and snacks directly to your barstool (from their Lincoln place location just a ...
