Amazing tap list
Just got back from Teresa’s Next Door (126 N. Wayne Ave., Wayne) and I’ve gotta post the tap list before my scribbled notes become entirely indecipherable. (Note: It was a special Sly Fox night, with brewery Brian O’Reilly in the house.)
From Sly Fox:
- O’Reilly Stout
- Oatmeal Stout (cask)
- Perle Hop IPA (cask)
- Christmas Ale
- 2007 Raspberry Reserve
- Ichor quadruppel
- Abbey Extra
- Saison Vos
- Renard D’Or
My two favorites from SF were the Perle, a meaty, nicely hopped ale that rounded out nicely when served from via the hand pump, and the Abbey Extra, which I’d describe as a Belgian abbey blonde posing as a tripel - hugely flavored with a mellow body and low alcohol. Think Triple Karmeliet, only you can drink it all night.
The rest:
- Hoegaarden
- Lindemans Framboise
- Chimay
- Val-Dieu Tripel
- Maredsous 8
- Van Honsebrouck Brigand
- Van Honsebrouck Bacchus
- Kulmbacher Eisbock
- Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van de Keizer (!!)
- Founders Harvest
- Lost Coast Double Trouble IPA
- Lagunitas Imperial Red
- Ithaca Cascazilla
- Ithaca 10
- Boaks Monster Mash imperial stout
- Russian River Blind Pig
- Russian River Damnation
Hello? Try to figure how you’d work your way through this list and still make it out the door without resorting to your knees. Just outstanding. In a great moment, I walked to my car with Patrick Mullen from Sierra Nevada and glanced up and noticed that the Boathouse, the fine beer bar from Conshy and Malvern, has opened a third location just a few doors down from Teresa’s. I couldn’t even manage a look at its tap list. We’re talking suburban Wayne, here, folks.
Many of these beers will be gone by you stop by, but fear not. Friday night (11/21), Teresa’s will be hosting a New Holland tasting. And then on Monday (11/24) it kicks off Hoppin’ Frog Week, with big-time brews (including B.O.R.I.S. the Crusher) from the Akron brewery.

Ah, Teresa’s. Glad you enjoyed it! We went to the Ithaca Brewing night on Tuesday (liked Ithaca 10 and Flower Power best). It’s only five minutes from where I work and is always a powerful temptation.

[…] As you may have already read elsewhere, the early Sly Fox Christmas Party at Teresa’s Next Door in Wayne was a fine evening, marked by the Resurrection of Big Dan (who did not, truth to tell, appear all that comfortable and, I am told, consumed merely half a beer; Cruella was in fine spirits, however).
