After posting about the New York Times food
section last week, I got a flood of angry mail about my too abrupt
dismissal
of Brooklyn's beers.*
Worshippers of the hops are welcome to head to Brooklyn and make the call for themselves on this Election evening, since Moe's is offering Election Day discounts on Hop Obama, one of their fine native beverages. A final semi-freebie for the day.
My esteemed colleague Damon Root was there at lunch, and he made this pronouncement: "Beer you can believe in. Keep the change."
*And by "flood" I mean that Damon sent a single polite email suggesting that I give Brooklyn ales and the like another chance.

Brookyln beers deserve to be dismissed...if you want beer you gotta come out here to Oregon...
I was going to bitch about that post too... the company is looking to expand in Brooklyn. Not that there's anything wrong with beer brewed in Utica.
