| Hey now! Greetings from a beautiful Summer day filled with beer and World Cup Soccer. As I write this the US team is about to start the match against Ghana. A great time to cozy up to our bar and enjoy a pint of Greenport Harbor Ale, our latest and greatest. Let's root for a US victory. Another notable beer to enter the rotation is our neighbors out East, Southampton Publick House, and their summer offering Kells Pilsner. It's a light refreshing beer that complements the heat of the day! Anyways, here is our current list:
ON DRAFT NEW! Southampton Keller Pils (Long Island, NY): A special Pilsner that is brewed with a single hop variety, the Hallertauer Tradition hop. rather than a blend, in order to showcase the special aromatic and flavor qualities of that particular hop. This is one refreshing beer from our neighbors out East! 5% abv NEW! Greenport Harbor Harbor Ale (long Island, NY): Support Local! A balanced English style ale with a rich golden hue. Slightly fruity hop character, this ale features a blend of Fuggle and Tettnang hops 5.3% abv Ommegang Witte (Cooperstown, NY): Via upstate NY comes this traditional Belgian-style wheat ale that features notes of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. Soft and smooth, this is a great summer beer full of refreshing flavor. And, the brewery makes a great summer road trip! 5.1% abv Blue Point Summer Ale (Long Island, NY): A summer tradition at Press195! Various malts combine to produce a delicious golden taste that is light and thirst quenching with a hint of citrus. 6% abv Keegan’s Mother’s Milk (Kingston, NY): A local Catskills favorite! From our good friend Tom Keegan comes this fantastic beer. As the name implies, this is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course milk, give this stout a remarkably smooth finish. If you find yourself on the NY state thruway, jump off exit 19 and visit Keegan’s! 5.5% abv Lagunitas IPA (California): Made with 43 different hops and 65 various malts, this redolent ale will likely float your boat, whatever planet you're on. 6.2% abv
BOTTLES NEW! Lagunitas Czech Pilsner (CA): A phenomenally crisp, smooth Pilsner. Our top choice for American Pilsner! Try one now. 12oz. 5.3% abv NEW! Blue Point Rastafar Rye Ale (Patchogue): Amber in color and pours with a nice creamy head. Rye and citrus notes are evident within the bold flavor. Not particularly hoppy until the finish, which is mildly bitter. 22oz 7.25% abv Delirium Tremens (Belgium): STRONG Belgian Ale! The particular character and the unique taste results from the use of three different yeasts. A gold medal during the "world beer championships" in Chicago confirmed it’s worldwide recognition. 12oz. 9% abv Weihenstephan Hefe-Weiss (Germany): From THE oldest commercial brewery, this is a wonderful example of what unfiltered wheat beer should be. Smooth and easy to drink. 16.9oz 5.4% abv Local 1 (Brooklyn): STRONG ALE! Belgian-inspired strong golden pale ale. The rare old technique of bottle re-fermentation gives this beer complex flavors of honey and pears. Try with spicy foods. 22oz 9% abv Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel (Belgium): STRONG ALE! First brewed in 2006, this is a rare, special beer with a harmonious balance between a marked bitterness (three types of hops are used) and a pleasant fruitiness. The HOUBLON CHOUFFE is unfiltered, and re-fermented in the bottle. Our favorite Belgian!!! 25.4oz 9% abv Stone IPA (CA): “Dry hopped” for an extra 2 weeks, this unique process produces an IPA with a great hop aroma and flavor. 22oz 6.9% abv Triple Karmeliet (Belgium): Blond, robust, smooth, and fruity three grain top fermented beer that is re-fermented in the bottle. Brewed with wheat, oat and barley. A 100% natural beer that is sure to please. 11.2 oz 8% abv Arrogant bastard Ale (CA): This is an aggressive beer. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. 22 oz 7.2% abv Doc’s hard apple cider (Warwick, NY): This cider is semi-dry and wonderfully effervescent with a remarkably fresh apple nose. Its crisp, fruit forward taste and a clean, refreshing finish, have won this vineyard countless awards and praise. 12 oz 5% abv  |

| Hola amigos. A quick note to let all of our Brooklyn fans know of the great new beer we have on tap. From the West Coast comes Speakeasy Untouchable Ale. We have already had much success with Speakeasy's Prohibition ale so it was an easy sell when our rep asked us to try it. Untouchable does justice to the American Pale Ale, enforcing a strict balance of arresting hop flavor and a smooth maltiness that's just undercover. One sip will be enough to know this is a special beer. We look forward to seeing you at Press! Brian  |

| It's with great pleasure that I get to write this blog as it only means one thing, Press 195 Brooklyn is back!! We are very excited to introduce our brand new 6 beer draught system and specialty bottle list. Both the taps and bottles will be continually rotated in order to bring to you fine beers from around the world. To start Version 2.0 of Press 195 we are offering the following:
ON DRAFT Outrage IPA (Garrattsville, NY): Brewed by our close friend and loyal Bayside Press 195 customer, Kenny Landin, in conjunction with our friends at Butternuts Brewery, this is the very first release from Landin ales. A nice floral hop with a crisp finish, this is a fine example of an American India Pale Ale. 6% abv Radeberger Pilsner (Germany): Long enjoyed by German nobility, this is the world’s most famous pilsner. One sip and you will know why! Super refreshing and very smooth! 4.7% abv Harpoon UFO (Boston): Light, crisp, refreshing UFO White follows in the tradition of spiced wheat beers that have been brewed in Belgium for well over 300 years. Brewed with orange peel and a unique blend of spices, Served with a lemon to complement the citrus flavors, this is one fine beer, 5% abv Blue Point Spring Ale (Patchogue): A local favorite! Alas Spring is here and that only means a new seasonal from our friends at Blue Point. This is a copper ale with hints of rye, citrus and hop overtones. A great thirst quencher. Try one, bet you’ll have another! 6% abv Keegan’s Mother’s Milk (Kingston, NY): From our good friend Tom Keegan comes this fantastic beer. As the name implies, this is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course milk, give this stout a remarkably smooth finish. 5.5% abv Stone Levitation (CA): A truly fantastic session ale! This deep amber ale has rich & roasted malt flavors, a big hoppy character, citrus overtones (courtesy of the hops and special brewers yeast) and modest alcohol. 4.4% abv
BOTTLES Delirium Tremens (Belgium): STRONG Belgian Ale! The particular character and the unique taste results from the use of three different yeasts. A gold medal during the "world beer championships" in Chicago confirmed it’s worldwide recognition. 12oz. 9% abv Ommegang Abbey Ale (NY): A classic STRONG Belgian style Abbey ale. With a deep burgundy color and a big, fluffy head, this has complex fruit aromas. A fantastic ode to true Belgian beers! 25.4oz 8.5% abv Weihenstephan Hefe-Weiss (Germany): From THE oldest commercial brewery, this is a wonderful example of what unfiltered wheat beer should be. Smooth and easy to drink. 16.9oz 5.4% abv Flying Dog Garde Dog (Maryland): Smooth, crisp and golden in color, this is a Spring French classic brewed with an American twist. With it’s toasted aroma and spicy, malty sweetness, Garde dog will liberate you from the winter doldrums! 12oz. 5.5% abv Hofbrau Dunkel (Germany): For centuries Munich’s favorite beer. A dark lager that has a light body and is easy to drink, with simple roasted malt flavor and slight caramel undertones. 12oz. 5.5% abv Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Tripel (Belgium): STRONG ALE! First brewed in 2006, this is a rare, special beer with a harmonious balance between a marked bitterness (three types of hops are used) and a pleasant fruitiness. The HOUBLON CHOUFFE is unfiltered, and re-fermented in the bottle. Our pick of the week!!! 25.4oz 9% abv Stone IPA (CA): “Dry hopped” for an extra 2 weeks, this unique process produces an IPA with a great hop aroma and flavor. 22oz 6.9% abv Belhaven Wee Heavy (Scotland): A classic Scottish heavy ale with a light flavor and a great reddish color in the glass. This is a beer that should be sipped and savored. 16.9 oz. 6.5% abv Arrogant bastard Ale (CA): This is an aggressive beer. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. 22 oz 7.2% abv Doc’s hard apple cider (Warwick, NY): This cider is semi-dry and wonderfully effervescent with a remarkably fresh apple nose. Its crisp, fruit forward taste and a clean, refreshing finish, have won this vineyard countless awards and praise. 12 oz 5% abv  |

| January 17th, 2009. At the Bayside store, things are moving ahead well. We are slowly introducing new menu items that will soon appear as a permanent fixture on a new menu that will be unveiled with the grand re-opening of our original location in Park Slope. The newest sandwich to hit the specials age is the ultimate Buffalo sandwich, the killer Chicken Finger Sub. But, we kick it Press 195 style and serve homemade spicy fingers (never frozen unlike our competition) with real crumbled blue cheese and julienned carrots and celery for an extra cruch. Guaranteed hall of fame sandwich! At our Brooklyn store, renovation has taken a contractors week hitch, as the store is fully gutted but awaiting a garbage waste dump to clear the rubble. However, plumbing and electrical is complete in the basement so we are anticipating work to begin again tomorrow 1/19. Thanks! Brian  |
