After the Brooklyn Brewery I walked to Spuyten Duyvil which wasn't far away on Metropolitan Avenue.I don't recall seeing any signage but the front of the bar looked familiar from the web site and I made my way in.
I sat down in a comfy chair and had a couple of beers- here's my notes:
First beer I had was Arcadia hop rocket ($5, 9%abv) which was super. Second beer was Sherwoods Forest Sheriffs IPA ($6) - super too, a bit more pine than citrus with a hint of apricot. Fuckin great - fruity and worthy of praise.
As I was finishing my last beer I shifted to a seat by the bar (it was starting to get busy by 5 ish) and started chatting to this local guy. He worked in finance (i think Wall St) and was layed off 12 mths ago because of the Global Financial Crises- he had enuf $'s up his sleeve so was just hanging out to the economy improves. He happened to just get back from across the road with some BBQ duck (or pig?) tongue which he kindly offered me some. I bid him farewell and made my way as planned to the BBQ place across the road, Fette Sau.
