Weaver Hollow “Meet the Maker” @ Tørst

Join us on Sunday, September 15th, as we welcome Luke Fuhrman of Weaver Hollow Brewery in Andes, NY. Luke is a longtime friend of Tørst and we always enjoy sharing his world-class beers from our extended bottle list, but on this special Sunday we’re excited to pour a couple kegs and several bottles by-the-glass, as well. Come meet Luke and imbibe in such deliciousness as only a mixed culture can provide!

Pouring from noon on Sunday the 15th:

Atto Terzo - Albariño (8% abv) ale aged in oak barrels with Albariño grapes

Atto Terzo - Barbera (8% abv) ale aged in oak barrels with Barbera grapes

Chelada (5% abv) ale brewed with lime and sea salt and aged in oak barrels

Oolong (6% abv) ale brewed with oolong tea and aged in oak barrels

Passionfruit (5% abv) ale aged in oak barrels with passionfruit

Salmagundi Vol. 6 (5% abv) Blend of barrel-aged ales, including a portion of Chelada

Sambucus - Reserve 2020 (7% abv) ale brewed with rye and elderflowers, aged in oak barrels
* From Luke: “The first in our Reserve series, comprised of barrels that are just too special to package under the “normal” Sambucus label and are instead held back for a minimum of 12 months to age in French oak.”

Plus! Chef Jared has a Peruvian-style tiradito in mind as a food pairing with these lovely brews, so do yourself a flavor & plan on dinner! You’ll be oh so glad you did

Cheers! to saison of mixed fermentation

OYSTER WEEKEND @ TØRST
8/9 - 8/11

“Dreams of Yesterday” by and recently dropped, and not a moment too soon

From Friday (8/9) noon to midnight Sunday (8/11) we’ll be offering $3 stanges of this crispy oyster shell lager along with Greenpoint’s finest oysters on the half shell from while they last

No better time of year to shoot back a dozen bivalves with this special saline pale lager, so join us!

A few words on the lager and the Billion Oyster Project from our pals :

“Dreams of Yesterday (is) a Pilsner brewed with oyster shells. If you haven’t tried this beer yet, don’t jump to conclusions—it may sound unusual, but there’s a method to the madness. To clarify, the beer doesn’t have a ‘fishy’ taste. We only use the oyster shells, which are thoroughly cleaned before being added to the boil. This process adds a touch of salinity and a refined minerality, enhancing the mouthfeel and drinkability, creating a bright, refreshing beer that’s truly unique.

Dreams is one of our brewers’ favorites to make, not just because it’s an intriguing concept lager, but also because we get to work with and the who has restored over 122 million oysters to New York Harbor, fostering biodiversity, filtering water, and serving as natural storm barriers. PS, proceeds from all sales of this beer go toward BOP for the fifth consecutive year.”

Cheers! to the pairing of our Dreams

Special thanks to our upstate pals & for hosting us earlier this summer! We had such a ball learning & tasting with y’all. It’s truly an honor to pour your beverages & share your stories.

OPEN FERMENTED

“…let it be noted that open fermentation is not without charm. Many brewers have found themselves enjoying the Zen-like collection of floating islands of yeast off the surface of a vat of beer, deftly using a specially made slotted paddle to lift the thick foam. For brewers, such ancient practices tend to make for pleasantly quiet moments in often hectic days.”
- Paul KA Buttrick & Garrett Oliver, from their definition of “Open Fermentation” in “The Oxford Companion to Beer”

Join us 6/21 - 6/23 for a weekend of many open fermented delights from the great Zillicoah Beer Company

Cheers! to quiet moments in hectic days

de Garde Wines @ Tørst

This weekend we’re excited to announce the addition of 4 different red wines from the de Garde Cellars of Tillamook, Oregon, to our extended bottle list. All four of these wines are made from grapes grown in The Rocks District AVA of Milton-Freewater, Oregon, a small viticultural area known for producing red grapes that have an earthy, mineral, and animalistic character. We’ve seen for many years now what beauty Linsey & Trevor and the rest of the de Garde team can coax from a grain, hop, and water base, so it should come as no surprise that their intentional efforts with these fruits yield equally exquisite results.

a few words from the de Garde team:
“Painstakingly foot-crushed, (these wines) underwent extended fermentation/maceraction in neutral oak tanks, with native yeast. They were further aged in large format, neutral oak barrels. Minimal intervention in pursuit of a true expression of time and place is our goal. In keeping with that, each wine saw no additions, subtractions, manipulations or other nonsense, except for a modest amount of sulfite at bottling.”

It’s an honor to be one of only a very few restaurants in the country to be pouring these outside of their Tillamook tasting room, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to taste!

Grenache (2021) pouring by-the-glass this weekend only!

Available by-the-bottle:

Mourvèdre (2020)

Rouge No. 2 (2021) made from Syrah, blended with some Mourvèdre and Grenache

Syrah (2019)

Cheers! to grains & grapes
