Radegast Hall & Biergarten opened last weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  The beer menu, which has a great selection of German beers on tap and in bottle can be found here. This spot has an outdoor area with a retractable roof and they have plans to install infrared heaters so that you can drink outside this Winter comfortably without being forced to overindulge in “liquid heat.”

Please pardon my brief hiatus.  I have been working on a side project for several weeks where I am creating a database of the beer menus of the best beer bars in NYC so that they are completely searchable by beer name, bar name, neighborhood, etc.  It is quite a challenge to both gather beer menus which are often changing daily on chalk boards and it is also a challenge to put them in a format that is easy to view and browse on a website.   My project so far is breaking it down into seasonal/rotational, house beers, draft beers, bottled beers, and canned beers (cask coming soon?).  We are strong proponents of showcasing the ABV (alcohol-by-volume) to show how although craft beers are often more expensive than your run-of-the-mill macro, they are cheaper in terms of ”price per drink.”  In other words, if you buy a beer that is three times as alcoholic and a dollar more than a Bud Light, it is a cheaper inebriation.  In other other words, to hammer my point home, you can get pretty primed drinking a few strong beers that taste magical while it will probably take you, depending on your tolerance, 8-12 Bud Lights to get primed and you will end up waiting in long bathroom lines the whole way. 

To get back to my main point, there are many ways to organize beers.  Many places do it by country primarily, some do it by beer style primarily, some do both.  I am curious what viewers think about organizing beer by flavor profile, similar to the way many wine menus categorize their wine list.  This article discusses the idea.
