Thursday is the perfect day to debut my beer version of the Slashfood Ate (8). Though, granted, I personally spend pretty much all seven days thinking about beer, for those in the workaday world, Thursday is a far healthier time of week to turn your thoughts towards weekend libations.<\/p>\n

This Thursday I’m especially antsy as tomorrow I’m off to the NY Brewfest ’08. Around 80 brewers are listed as participating breweries on NYBrewfest.com<\/a>. As usual, I’m most excited to try new products, but of the names I recognize, these are the eight booths you’ll certainly see me stopping by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hook & Ladder Brewing Company<\/a>: Their Golden Ale is one of the best kept secrets in the “most drinkable beers” department.<\/li>\n
  2. Ithaca Beer Company<\/a>: At the Philly Craft Beer Festival, the Ithaca rep was bragging about how their Flower Power IPA took down the Dogfish Head 90 Minute in a head-to-head competition. They deserved the victory.<\/li>\n
  3. Allagash Brewing Company<\/a>: Call me what you will, but I’m all about the wheat beers and Allagash White is one of the best.<\/li>\n
  4. Southhampton<\/a>: See above, but replace a single white with Double White.<\/li>\n
  5. Oskar Blues Brewery<\/a>: Who says great beers can’t come in a can?!<\/li>\n
  6. La Chouffe<\/a>: An international classic introduced to me long ago by my friend Grant. I’m gonna try to grab him some swag.<\/li>\n
  7. Wolaver’s Organic<\/a>, Peak Organic<\/a> & Orlio Organic<\/a>: As reported last month in the New York Daily News and mentioned here on Slashfood, supposedly organic booze is less likely to give you hangovers<\/a>. Admittedly, I’ve overlooked organic brews in the past, but I’m definitely going to chat with the breweries this time around. Wolaver’s Pale Ale made the Daily News’ best of organic list.<\/li>\n
  8. Magic Hat Brewing Company<\/a>: Magic Hat has become my new old standby. If I still haven’t had my fill by the time things are wrapping up, look for me slurring my speech over by the Magic Hat booth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
