16 The Courier sun • may 5, 2016 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com Queens Beer Book Brings Craft Beer BY THE QUEENS COURIER STAFF editorial@qns.com @QNS Beer drinkers of Queens, rejoice — the second annual Queens Beer Book, a book providing beer drinkers with free pints at 31 different beer halls, breweries, restaurants and beer shops in Queens, is now on sale on QNS.com. The Queens Beer Book, published jointly by QNS (the online home of BORO Magazine, LIC Magazine, Queens Courier and Ridgewood Times) and Brokelyn.com, a popular lifestyle blog based in Brooklyn, which created the original Brooklyn Beer Book, is a bar guide and beer passport that brings craft beer fans to a selection of the best beer purveyors in Queens. The book, curated by Cat Wolinski, freelance journalist and beer writer based in Brooklyn with family ties in Queens, is intended to introduce New York City locals to businesses in their area and support the burgeoning beer scene in Queens. Along with giving budget-friendly drinkers free brews in neighborhoods including Astoria, Bayside, Forest Hills, Long Island City, Sunnyside, Ridgewood and Woodside, the book is intended to encourage the craft beer-curious to discover new bars and breweries in their area, as well as to motivate Queens drinkers to get out and try new brews outside of their normal repertoire — many of which are brewed right here in Queens. “I’m very excited to be releasing our second annual Queens Beer Book,” said Wolinski, who is a regular contributor to Brokelyn, Civil Eats, Men’s Journal and Ale Street News, among other publications. “This book is a go-to guide to the many breweries, bars and beercentric eateries that are creating a craft beer community in Queens. Additionally, it’s a way for locals to discover the incredible amount of beer styles that are being brewed in the borough, from straightforward pilsners to barrel-aged, farmhouse-style ales.”
