"If beer were a person, it would look at the way people treat wine and immediately develop an inferiority complex. Then, after moping for a bit, it would open a place like Tørst. Tørst is a bar in Greenpoint where the beers come in stemmed glasses and drafts are available in three sizes. The unlabeled taps stick out of a clean marble wall behind the bar, and, with its wood-paneled walls and spherical light fixtures, the whole place looks more like a Nordic tasting-menu spot than a bar. There’s also a small amount of food, like an excellent burger and an extremely crispy fried chicken sandwich." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
