Wouldn’t call them “flight fights,” but breweries from the East and West coasts are girding their IPAs to face off during the Taco Mac
West Coast versus East Coast flight lineup, Jan. 1-Mar. 31. Are tastes
well balanced on both coasts? Taste and see. Representing the West Coast
force, the powerful roster promises 10 Bourbon Barrel Apocalypse,
Terrapin Hi-5, Uinta West Coast IPA and Ballast Point Sculpin. East
Coast locks in with Brooklyn East IPA, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA,
Southern Tier 2XIPA and Jekyll Southern Juice. Grab a seat and take off
on a first-class East Coast or West Coast beer lover’s taste treat of
four six-ounce beers. Travel light, no baggage required, just bring
friends for this East/West balance of brews. Be sure to take advantage
of this sudsy showdown to earn Brewniversity credits.
All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Or scotch. Or rye. The new whiskey flight menu at Article 14distills the nuances down even further by curating a dozen flights featuring small batch bourbons, ryes and scotches, as well as one flight each of tequila and cognac for good measure. Flight prices vary from $15 for a Rosy Sampler of Four Roses Yellow Label, Small Batch and Single Barrel to $52 for 12-, 15- and 18-year Macallan with the option of adding 30-year Macallan for an additional $70. Additional groupings include Third Seat (bourbon), Great White Buffalo or Western Blend (rye), Orphan Barrels, Glenlivet, Dalmore, Islay Sampler or Malted in Japan (scotch) and After Dinner Noir of Cointreau Noir, Grand Marnier and Grand Marnier 150. Flights land at the Article 14 bar in Midtown. Take your seat, please.
