White bean and beer stew, lemon coriander olives, Wandering Star Raindrop pale ale.Howdy! Artsy Guy here. If you've seen this cryptic "shout out" and wondered what the heck it was about, here goes (now that I'm back at the computer and not fighting my iPhone posting issues)...

I've mentioned Queens Kickshaw in Astoria, NYC before. One of my favorite places! So good. Check out this white bean and beer (Ommegang Rare Vos) stew. Perfect for the imminent autumn. And the four taps (well, five... counting the one reserved for amazing iced coffee) are always interesting. For dessert, I enjoyed a Southern Tier Créme Brulée stout.

And they're taking part in their first NYC Craft Beer Week, featuring Barrier Brewing. Check 'em out, folks! That's what's HOPpenin'!
