Three Floyds. Finally!
Speechless…
As anyone who knows me knows, I have spent much of the past year seeking out craft beers unavailable for purchase in New York. “Beerhunting,” for lack of a better term, has been an incredibly fun and satisfying pursuit, and has led to the procurement of some of the finest and most highly-thought-of beers in the country, including Russian River’s Pliny the Elder, Surly Furious, Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale, and numerous others.

- Dreadnaught Imperial IPA
- Arctic Pancer Wolf Double IPA
- Apocalypse Cow Double IPA
