I was curious if there are any beer connoisseurs out there. Any one going to the North Fork Beer and Wine festival in Jamesport out at Martha Clara vineyards this weekend? I went last year and it was a good time. Hoping the weather this year is as good as last years. Lots of great micro/craft brews including some LI homegrown brews. There was some wine out there too (since its at a vineyard) but I primarily remember the beer tent. Just curious.

For those interested,

UUrrrggghhh I wish I could go, I got shafted into working that weekend. Looked pretty good, some nice vendors showing up. Not as big as the one at the coluseum but I think it'll be a nicer venue. Have fun have one for me.

Thanks for the info! I grew up in a "true" beer country, and am always looking for a good beer.
If I don't have to show too many houses, I'll try and take a ride out there... :-))

Too bad you have to work. It was a good time last year. Food was pretty good too. I missed the coliseum, but I do not think I would have enjoyed it as much given the venue. I will have one for ya....if you insist

Elke--hope you can make it out there; definitely would beat a working day.

Default For those who may not be familiar with Northville

According to the Census Bureau's online address search function, Martha Clara Vineyards, located at 6025 Sound Avenue, is in Northville ("Riverhead, NY 11901" mailing address).


For those who may not be familiar with Northville:

Northville is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the northeast part of the Town of Riverhead, in the northeast part of Suffolk County, along the Riverhead/Southold town line.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Northville in the Town of Riverhead is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound; on the east by the Hamlet of Mattituck and the Hamlet of Laurel in the Town of Southold (the Riverhead/Southold Town line); on the south by the Hamlet of Jamesport and the Hamlet of Aquebogue; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Riverhead.





Northville is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name as part of their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of Northville have a "Riverhead, NY 11901" mailing address.


For a good set of town-by-town maps showing all the villages and hamlets in each of LI's 13 towns (3 in Nassau County and 10 in Suffolk County): https://www.city-data.com/forum/long-...-resource.html

Default 20 minutes in the freezer makes any beer taste better

You can make any beer taste better by placing the beer in the freezer for 20 minutes.

To prevent any surprise explosions, immediately after placing the beer in the freezer, set the microwave to 20 minutes at zero power.

When the microwave signals that 20 minutes are up, take out the beer, pop or open the top and enjoy.

Repeat as often as necessary.

This is a good way to rapidly chill a beer, but serves no other purpose.

The only thing one can really do to affect the taste of an already brewed beer is to serve it at proper temperature and properly pour it into an appropriate glass.
