Beer Radar

Word arrives this afternoon that two new beer joints will opening later this month just off the Penn campus, at 38th & Ludlow.

For several weeks now, there’s been speculation in beer circles about one of them - the Blockley Pourhouse. The press release description: “a exciting bar with creative American pub fare that is destined to become one of the city’s best live music venues.”

The same developers will also open the adjacent Mary Oaks,  described as “a casual beer- and wine-centric restaurant.” How beer-centric? Here’s the opening tap list:

• Guinness
• Dogfish Head 120 (or 90) minute
• Avery IPA
• Dale’s Pale Ale
• Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
• Lindemans Framboise
• Chimay Cinq Cents
• Rodenbach Grand Cru
• Scheider Aventinus Weizenbock
• Piraat
• Hook and Ladder Backdraft Brown
• Rogue Dead Guy
• Left Hand Sawtooth Ale
• Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
• Sierra Nevada Summer Fest
• Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
• Yards Thomas Jefferson’s Tavern Ale
• Flying Fish Summer Ale
• Troegs Nugget Nectar
• Stoudts Blond Double Maibock
• Sly Fox Royal Weisse Beer
• Victory Throwback Lager
• Weyerbacher Blanche

Mary Oaks’ exec chef, by the way, is Ross Essner, formerly of Django and, more recently, the Taproom on 19th. Menu for both joints is here.
