Nestled between porky Asian sandwiches (heeelllo Cambodia’s Num Pang), funky finger limes (caviar of the fruit world) and the creme bruele-like canelé (move over cupcakes), Bon Appétit gives a shout out to Virtue Feed & Grain’s beer cocktails in the magazine’s 2012 trend-watch list.
Alexandria’s Virtue turns the classic Old Fashion into a “hoptail” with the addition of Brooklyn Brown Ale to the bourbon and SoCo concoction. With beer love on the rise, expect plenty more area bars to combine brews and spirits for a spin on adult beverage fun.
