APORKalypse Now

This past weekend I attended Aporkalypse, a craft beer and food event dedicated to my favorite source of protein, the pig. Dozens of food and beer vendors collaborated and worked together to bring to NYC an annual event of e-pig proportions. Yeah, it's taken me a couple of days to bring you a meager amount of blogage and photos, but trust me that it was an event worth attending. Although i didn't spend much of my time chowing (3 or 4 small dishes), the sample glass as I was given as I entered the room probably saw between 15-18 pours, some spectacular, some not, mostly great. As far as spectacular is concerned, Southhampton's Abbot 12, Brooklyn Sorachi Ace, and Ommegang Aphrodite were among my favorite. Mary and I also spent a considerable amount of time hanging out with the guys from Bronx Brewery, which is always a pleasure. We both took pictures, but Mary took a few more than I did. As soon as i get a hold of them I'll add them.
