The partners in Beer Run — a compact, well-stocked new source for beer-buying and drinking — have a natural feel for the business. John Hyun was an assistant brewer at Peekskill Brewery upstate and knows his craft beers. So does his partner, Larry Good, who owns two restaurants with beer-drinking audiences, Toast and The Heights near Columbia University. Enter their narrow Chelsea store, and you’ll find bottled beers on shelves, though most of the inventory is in cans refrigerated and grouped according to style, like I.P.A., saison, wheat and so forth. Ciders, too. In the rear of the store is a bar where a dozen beers, often local and changing daily, are dispensed on tap. A few wines are also poured.
Beer Run, 203 West 19th Street (Seventh Avenue), 212-749-7500, beerrun.nyc.
