What could possibly be better than an ice cold beer, especially in this sticky sweaty sweltering summer heat? How about… 300 ice cold beers! I walked into The Sampler, Bushwick’s brand-new craft beer emporium on 234 Starr Street, one warm summer night knowing next to nothing about beer and came out a few hours later much the wiser (and a little drunk) after having completed an impromptu crash course in beer appreciation. Whether you’re like me and know nothing about beer but want to learn, or a craft brew aficionado looking to further expand your palate and discuss favorites with fellow beer-lovers, The Sampler is the place to be.
