Bringing you local beer knowledge from street level, not a corporate platform!

Promoting quality, diversity, and knowledge of beer - and (importantly) the industry that produces it.
This is a 'D.I.Y.' website; my philosophy is if you want to say something, don't just sit there - Do It Yourself!

Your complete guide to beer in New York City -

BEER DEMYSTIFIER sets out to do what it says -
demystifying and enlightening on the wide range
of craft ale available in the city. Free from ties
with publishing companies*, and offered as a grassroots
resource, BEER DEMYSTIFIER can easily be printed
out or downloaded to your computer and laptop.

[*However, I could be open to the right publishing offer...]

BEER DEMYSTIFIER is free to download, but please

your bit to spread the word of good beer.
