New LIC brewery opens Saturday

Big Alice

June 14, 2013 By Bill Parry

Big Alice Brewing, located at 8-08 43rd Rd., is having its grand opening on Saturday from 1-5pm.

The new brewery, the second to open in LIC this year after Rockaway Brewing Company, will pour a Heather ale and sell 10 different beers in 750ml bottles.

“I’m not sure what to expect when we open the doors,” said Kyle Hurst, one of the 3 founders. “There could be six people or 600 – we’ll see what happens.”

The owners are planning on handing out cards at the opening of the LIC Flea that will also open on Saturday just 5 blocks away.

Hurst and two other home-brew hobbyists, Scott Berger and Robbie Crafton, built the brewery after moving into a 1,000 sqf warehouse space used to store bibles. “That’s pretty fitting when you consider that monks and nuns created beer,” said Hurst.

It took the men two years to obtain the permits needed to produce beer.

After Saturday’s opening, Big Alice will be open to the public for tasting and sales on Fridays from 5-7:30pm.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
