We were in Caffe Classico for a Sunday coffee and New York Times run yesterday, and I noticed a big draft beer keg setup over on one side. Turns out that Tommie is ordering a series of "interesting" beers, mostly European, cycling to a new brand as they run out; they're being sold at reasonable prices all week, and unreasonably bargain prices (just a small markup over cost) on Thursday evenings.
A couple of weeks ago they had a great high-gravity Belgian beer, Delirium Tremens. Currently the keg is Danish Carlsberg ($5 a glass regular, $2 on Thursday evenings). Tommie says he'll probably put on a Leffe Amber from Bruge, Belgium, when the Carlsberg runs dry.
Caffe Classico just keeps getting more and more interesting, it seems to me. I know I'm fond of it because of proximity - with Heine's Frankfort, it's my neighborhood coffee shop - but with the artisan pizzas and evening bistro-style menu and now this beer program, it just gets better and better.
Tommie also mentioned that Mark Bierman has joined Patrick Gosden as sous chef at Caffe Classico.
