How better can you discover beer on BeerMenus?
Please add a Growler section! Also much thanks for creating this website.
PB, we recently added the ability for places to add growlers and are in the process of adding lots of new features catered to beer stores. Dive Bar for example, has a growler section: http://www.beermenus.com/dive-bar
Soon enough, we will add a link to browse all places with growlers.
Stores that have growlers: Bierkraft, New Beer, Wholefoods Bowery
Bars: Dive Bars (all), Ginger Man, Rattle N Hum, Pacific Standard.. many more. Anyone know of any others?
I believe Hop Devil Grill does. Although I have not been there since their recent closing/re-opening, I imagine they still do.
Also, Skibbo’s in the East Bronx has 8 tap lines and sells growlers. The selection is generally varied and the prices are unbeatable (many for $9-10). The owner’s a super nice guy, and I highly recommend it for anyone in the Bronx, upper Manhattan, or along the 6 line (or anyone else willing to make the trek!). The BA page is:

I suppose this should maybe go under the “Beer Stores” section of the forum?
Hi. Hop Devil Grill was the first restaurant in the city to offer beer to go in growlers. We still do.
That said, growlers are not our core business, and it may not be something we continue to do in the future. When the bar is busy, its difficult to pull the bartender away from their normal work in order to fill a growler to go.
Now, if you are looking for a fun restaurant with two bars and 30 taps pouring delicious craft brewed beer, we are the place! Great southwestern style food, and lots and lots of daily specials!

Much thanks for adding the Growler section Will! Your site is the best. I can always find my favorite beer and even check prices. NYC beer drinking is so much better now. No more … “I guess I’ll have the Samuel Adams.”
Our pleasure P.B. Let us know if you have any other feedback, we’re always looking for suggestions. Cheers.
Would be nice to have XML/RSS feeds to track when beers rotate at bar X or when beer Y shows up at a new bar… Or if you don’t want to give out that much access to the raw data, the ability to get similar alerts by registering
Thanks for the feedback Eric.
We’re definitely thinking about ways to provide notifications.
It sounds like you’re most interested in subscribing to specific bars and beers? Are there any other notifications you’d like to be able to receive?
Cheers
I like the list of special events going on around the city, but I was wondering if there is a list of ongoing specials (such as best happy hours to get find cheap craft beer)?
How about a picture of the bottle/spout when you click on the beer to go with the description?
Beer photos coming very soon. Cheers!
Great site, guys. One feature that would be nice: Could you add beer notifications? In other words, could the site email me when a bar adds, say, Racer X to their tap list?
Again, great site, and I always make sure to thank the barkeeps who keep their tap list up to date here.
To add onto Charles D.‘s suggestion; Is it possible to alert when a beer is available at any bar in NYC? For instance, with Chicago and Milwaukee integration now, Three Floyd’s beers are listed frequently. If I was to get an alert if Gumballhead was ever in NYC, that’d be pretty nice.

Things I would like to see:
Drink Specials somehow integrated.
Food options. A lot of the time when drinking good beer, you would like to eat something with it. I know it isn’t the focus of this website, but to be able to post a menu unobtrusively would be nice.
Entertainment options. Again, not the focus of this site, but if I am choosing a day of the week to go to Bar/Restaurant X, it would be nice to know which days and times they offer entertainment that line up most with my tastes.
And maybe it is just me, but I would like to see the “featured” beers also listed on the main list of bottles below it.
Great site guys… Been a while since I been on here… Moved out of Greenpoint to Northern NJ now so I have been fairly sheltered.. (bring on the jokes about selling out, go ahead)…
Anyway.. I would like to have the ability to filter my search.. A few filters I would think about are:
find bars in the West Village with the most allow me to search by beer flavor/style (the bars in certain areas with the most PortersI think you get the idea..This website is the greatest source of information for the NYC craft beer scene as far as I am concerned.. Keep it up!!
Been using the site for quite a while – love it. A good friend of mine works at a store that has a huge selection, but finds it overwhelmingly difficult/slow to update the large beer list using the current interface. Would it be possible to offer an API, or a spreadsheet upload feature for uploading long lists of beer? Keep up the good work! Thanks,
Ben
Owner of local bar just turned me on to this site as I was looking for up to date beer list for the place. Would it be possible to strip out some of the richness and have a version of the site geared toward smartphones? Would love to be able to bring this up on my phone when I’m in a place or heading there.
Great job… really incredible!
An API would be quite useful, if there isn’t one already. If there is, point me in the right direction! Thanks.
Great site. Great Mobile site. Would love to see you add the “Find Places Nearby” feature from the mobile version to the regular website. Thanks.
Maybe I missed it, but it would be nice to be able to save places in a “favorites” list of sorts. Thanks!
