This analyst likes beer...lots of it. I would rather consume larger quantities of suds than smaller amounts of better quality brew. Plus, I'm sort of over the whole $12 speciality beer craze. We're in a recession for Christ sake! It takes me a six pack to get dancing and in New York City that has been costing me around $75.00 worth of snotty micro brews.
But if there is a god, he must be a drunk like me. He has kindly bestowed upon all of us alcoholics the Butternuts Beer & Ale. The brewery was started by two guys named Chuck Williamson and Leo Bongiorno about four years ago in upstate New York because they wanted to "open a can of whupass on the craft beer world."
There are four flavors right now served mostly in cans, but in NY you can find it on draft. There is The Hennieweisse Weissebier, Moo Thunder Stout, Snapperhead IPA and the absolutely delicious Pork Slap Pale Ale. I came across the Pork Slap last night at Seymour Burton, a newly opened farmhouse style restaurant in the East Village of New York City, and was amazed that this finely made beer was so reasonably priced at $4 smackers a can. I had three just out of principal. I called Frank's Beverage Center in Glen Cove, New York and he is selling a case of the beautiful and cold Pork Slap for $27.96 -- that's about $1.20 a can.
Stubb & Flask lists Butternuts Beer & Ale on the S&F 100 at a buy, especially if you are looking to upgrade that Pabst Blue Ribbon can you normally sport around the bar.
