The Growler Station is coming along

We will be ready to rock Greenwich Village in two days!!

The Growler Station

By this point, it's pretty safe to say I have a new job, and it's possibly the best job in the world. I have recently been hired to manage a new beer boutique in Greenwich Village, The Growler Station. A business that will probably change the face of beer retail as we know it. Sure we have more taps than any other store of it's kind in the City, and we also have a bottle selection that would make Michael Jackson roll over in his grave. These things are great, but what really sets us apart is the tap system. Our tap system is not only unique and so easy to use it's as close to foolproof as you can get, but the technology incorporated makes it possible to fill a growler that will maintain it's freshness for months to come. Typically after a growler is filled with the ambrosia of your choice, you have about a week to finish it before the beer becomes undrinkable. The Growler Station's tap allows it so that an unopened growler will remain fresh for months after purchase. As I said, technology like this completely changes the face of the growler industry. So over the past 4 days I've put a great deal of work in, but it hardly feels like it seeing all I do is talk beer all day long. I've met with all the distributors, picked a tap and bottle list, and spent a day learning the brewing process as Southport Brewing Company, along with the more mundane stuff like cleaning and building shelves. No matter what, it's been worth it. I don't think I could have asked for a better job. So because of this, I will be posting much about the store, from tap lists, to new arrivals, to events. As well as my beer reviews that I've been slacking on as of late. So if your in the NYC area, come down and check us out, buy a growler or two and shoot the shit.

Welcome to 2012 ....

Now that we are five days into a new year, I guess I can finally write up my first post of hopefully many to come over 2012. I had intended to start beer blogging like a madman as soon as the new year started, but I came down with a cold this past weekend that put a slight damper on my plans. I like to think that the last few posts I did in 2012 were more of a test than anything else. 2012 is when Get Straight to the Pint is in full motherfuckin' effect! Already 2012 has turned out to be a great year, and I'm only five days in. New clothes, new outlook, new XBox, and best of all, a new dream job( More details to come). My intention with this blog, as with the movie one, is to be able to hook the public with at least 10-15 entries a month, but don't hold me on that. I can only work my word magic with the amount of spare time and subject matter I'm given in a day, so here's hoping for the best. Not only do I plan on giving the public beer reviews, but I'm also going to be writing about events, bars, and documenting my own experience down my newly found path of homebrewing. So I shouldn't be running out of subject matter. Happy 2012!!!!
