Gun Hill is a cool little micro-brewery in the Bronx, pretty deep if you're coming from the city but super accessible to visitors from upstate. Its name is shared with nearby Gun Hill Road, itself named for a hill from which American colonists fired a cannon at British soldiers in January 1777; that's a pretty badass association if you ask me! I formulated an action plan, and, on a recent Saturday just past noon, My girlfriend and I made our way to what is touted as the first (legal) brewery to operate in the Bronx since the 1960s. The space is in a residential-industrial neighborhood with lots of auto repair shops nearby. If you're getting your vehicle serviced, kill the time with a cold pint! I started off with something from Vosburgh Brewing in Elizaville, Columbia County, before turning to a flight of exclusive Gun Hill selections. I was most impressed with their barrel aged offerings and their pilsner and lager selection. The quince sour was maybe a little flat, but an honest effort. As if my luck couldn't get any better, Bodega Truck just happened to be posted up outside. I acquired a chopped cheese hero to accompany my beverages, and it developed into a pleasant afternoon. It was fun sampling beers and getting to see how the brewery serves as a community gathering spot.
