Dear Bushwick has been a neighborhood hit since they first opened their doors on Wilson Ave in the fall of 2012 and introduced us to a classy modern version of British pub food, (hold the mushy peas)! Perhaps there is no better reflection of the British joint done on New York soil of than their taplist, which currently features malty brews from the cosmopolitan epicenters on both sides of the pond: the Coffee Porter from Meantime, a brewery based in London, and ERIC More Cowbell! Chocolate Milk Stout from SingleCut, a small Queens-based craft brewery.
Dear Bushwick owner Darren Grenia gave me the rundown on the beers, which are perfect rich drinking to battle the never-ending cold while huddled around the bar, or just the thing to sip on after you finish your dinner. Why? These two beers highlight their adjuncts, or the additional ingredients not found in your most basic beer recipe. This means you get to enjoy two of your favorite things at once, whether it’s coffee and beer or chocolate and beer – it’s a toss up for me, so I indulged in both!
