Alright, The Beerlord admits it, The Ginger Man is not a New York original.  In fact, New York City is its fifth location, with the original four being down in Texas. I suppose it should be shunned just for that very reason, but they had 68 taps, 2 casks and 100+ bottles and there are some damn fine brews mixed in there.  Throw in the large bar, cozy back couch area, growlers and waitresses that harvest every bit of sediment from the bottom of a bottle of Schneider Weisse and I think I’ll just have to put my fight-the-man prejudices aside for now. But The Beerlord does have his standards.  If they start listing the calorie content next to the soup of the day, The Ginger Man falls off the list.  Probably.
