In approximately two weeks, this big and beautiful new bar will open in Greenpoint on Nassau Avenue near Guernsey (the street with the romantic tree canopy block). Called Spritzenhaus, it's the work of Spitzer's Corner owner Robert Shamlian. It's looking pretty good—we're told the project "was a collaborative effort between Asfour Guzy Architects, Aleks Kravchuk, John McKormick, Enis Sefarsah (Five Leaves) and Shamlian." But let's get down to brass tacks: how much beer will there be on tap?
Photographer Louis Caldarola poked around inside over the weekend and he maintains that the 6,000 square foot bar is equipped with 100 taps. We "only" count 50 here, but Caldarola says Spritzenhaus has a second bay of beer taps, just like the one seen here. We're waiting for confirmation from Shamlian, but in the meantime we'll be looking forward to the most epic flight of beer since medieval times.
