Craft Beer NYC

This easy drinking delight showed up as one of my 24 NYS Beers of Holiday Cheer! from the New York State Brewers Association.  The lower ABV lagers are becoming more and more in fashion these days, especially as a premium fresh fridge beer to have on hand for session-able gatherings during the holidays.   A silver medal winner at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival, definitely delivers for anyone looking for a crisp, clean, smooth lager any time of the year.   Singlecut uses locally sourced malts, and classic noble hops from Europe in this Frequency lager.  Enjoy the NYC taproom in Astoria, Queens.  There are now new upstate taprooms in Syracuse and Saratoga.  ABV 4.7%  8.0 out of 10 MHz (Good ATSC 3.0 viewing pairing)  More info on ATSC 3.0 https://www.atsc.org/nextgen-tv/ Media Insights Posts  https://afordnycmedia.blogspot.com/ More on SingleCut  https://singlecut.com/

The original taproom in Queens is now closed.   8.5 out of 10 Fruit Bo...
