Beer Moose

  I was lucky enough to spend a few days in New York. Last year you may remember that I rushed round the city in one day! This blog will feature the various beer places I visited and what I drank, I’ll tell you my fave at the end!  High Bar New York:  I’m cheating a bit with this one as it it’s a roof bar at the hotel I stayed at!
