Cricket Hill Premieres at Double Windsor

What's better than an icy cold brew on a warm spring day? An icy brew that before tonight, you had to travel to Jersey to get.

Cricket Hill Brewery will be making its New York City debut at 7 p.m. at the . Bartender Chris Genoa said the brewery approached the bar, which boasts one of the most extensive lists of craft beers in the area, about hosting the launch.

"There haven't been that many new breweries launch in New York recently, but when they do, we try to get them in here as soon as possible," he said.

Of the ten beers produced by the brewery, seven will be on tap. Pints will be $5, and the brewmaster will be on hand for the occasion. Here's the lowdown, according to the menu:

Cricket Hill Hopnotic IPA: An easy drinking English-style IPA, with light hop flavors of pine and citrus along with caramel malt.
