Following closely on the success of its West Side opening this past spring, New York-based bottle shop, tap room, and craft beer curator Craft+Carry welcomes Upper East Side beer lovers into its seventh location on 2nd Avenue, between 84th and 85th Street. As Craft+Carry’s largest location to date, its newest store boasts the brand’s most impressive draft selection ever—with 24 local, rotating taps primarily sourced from breweries within a 150–200 mile radius. Crowlers (32oz.) and growlers (64oz.) to go, plus pints and beer flights in-house, this is a local and hyperlocal beer lover’s paradise on a broad scale.
Beyond the pours themselves, a charming ambiance awaits anyone entering, with free Skee-ball games, so-bad-they’re-good movies playing in the background, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for spending the afternoon with friends.
With the opening of Craft+Carry Upper East Side comes a summer-inspired collaboration with Broken Bow Brewery—based in Tuckahoe, NY—called Past Curfew. “Our friends at Broken Bow have done a great job collaborating with us to brew a perfect summertime Pilsner,” says co-owner, Joshua Friedman. A 5.5% German-style Pilsner, Past Curfew is crafted from East Golding Hops and finished with an unmistakable zing of orange zest for a truly refreshing brew.
