One thousand followers? Guess I should formally introduce myself to you all! I’m Chris. I’ve been writing about New York’s beer scene for nearly 15 years. I’ve visited over 3,500 breweries in 33 countries. I document that here and in my weekly newsletter (link in bio).
Gonna need your Paris and Rome beer recommendations.

Starting my Friday night with a beer at a new brewery in Maplewood, New Jersey. You’ll probably be surprised by where I have a beer to end my Friday night.

“The most vulnerable category of brewery is Rogue—packaging companies who sell a lot of product at grocery stores with narrow margins.”

Spent Saturday visiting three breweries in Wigan. It’s a town I have a personal connection to, but had never visited. The beers were excellent, as was the company.

The moment when @salfordbeerfest.bsky.social pointed out that I came to his fest from New York. An incredibly well-run event in a beautiful venue for a great cause. Oh, and the beer being poured is world-class. How could I not go?
