February 19, 2013
We are all looking ahead to this Friday, when NYC Craft Beer Week officially kicks off at craft beer bars and restaurants across the 5 boroughs. Check back here later this week for The Beer Friends top choices for NYCBW. Here are a few events for the week to keep you occupied as you wait.
Tuesday, February 19 – Tuesday Night Tastings: Cellar Raid @ Jimmy’s No. 43, Manhattan:
When it comes to Jimmy’s No. 43, one of the oldest craft beer bars in NYC, the most coveted part of the bar is not what’s coming out of the taps but what’s beneath them: the cellar beer. They’ll be breaking out some of their cellar favorites for (more…)

Tuesday, December 11 – Tuesday Night Tasting: Kelso Beer Company @ Bierkraft, Brooklyn:
Kelso is one of the unsung heroes of the NYC craft beer scene. A Brooklyn based brewery that often gets overshadowed by Brooklyn’s omnipresence and Sixpoint’s artsy-edginess, Kelso still puts out a wide range of delicious craft brew. Owner Kelly Taylor will be hosting a taking over tonight’s Tuesday Night Tastings at Bierkraft and they’ll be bringing an interesting selection that is sure to please.
Nut Brown Lager
Winter Lager
IPA
Industrial Imperial IPA
Rye-barrel-aged Tripel
Fuku (a rauchbier/witbier/gose hybrid)
There will also be a special opening of the Bierkraft 10th Anniversary Maple-liquor-barrel-aged Imperial Stout.
How’s that for overshadowed?
Bierkraft is located at 191 5th Avenue between Berkeley and Union Streets in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Wednesday, December 12 – Stone Brewing Co. Vertical Epic – The Final Chapter 12.12.12 @ Alewife, Queens:
For the past 10 years Stone has created a brew ready to drink on the triple-repeated-date of that year (2/2/2 – 12/12/12). Even though that brew could’ve been enjoyed anytime between then and now, they were specially developed to be aged and sipped gently (read: Devoured) on 12.12.12 – the last reincarnation of Vertical Epic until the next century (seriously, Wednesday is the last triple-repeated date until 2100 – time to celebrate!). They’ll be serving up every Vertical Epic since 2003 alongside Ruination IPA, Smoked Porter, and Imperial Russian Stout.
Can you drink all the Stone beer at this event? It would be vertically epic.
Alewife is located 5-14 51st Avenue between 5th Street and Vernon Boulevard in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens.
Wednesday, December 12 – Once In 100 Years Event @ Beer Boutique Inc., Brooklyn:
Thought we were done with triple repeating dates? Not even close. Beer Boutique Inc. of Brooklyn wants to help you celebrate by providing you with access to some of the rarest, biggest Brooklyn brewery beers of this (and the last decade of the previous) century.
Vintage Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
The Companion
Brooklyn Blast
There Will BE Black
Beer Boutique Inc. is located at 497 Union Avenue between N 8th Street and Withers Street in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Thursday, December 13 – Christmas Bash @ Standings, Manhattan:
It’s not quite Christmas yet. For that you’ll have to wait until this Thursday. At Standings. They’ll be pouring three of the finest Christmas ales in the land for your holiday cheering pleasure alongside free brat’s from Wechsler’s.
Brekcenridge Christmas
Defiant Christmas
Southern Tier 2X Christmas
PLUS: Weyerbacher Last Chance IPA on Cask
Nothing says happy holidays like beer and free brat’s.
And afterwards you can head downstairs to Jimmy’s No. 43 for their Barrier “Submersible” Belgian 1 event.
Standings is located at Upstairs 43 East 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan.
Thursday, December 13 – Thursday Tap: Barrier “Submersible” Belgian 1 @ Jimmy’s No. 43, Manhattan:
Jimmy’s No. 43 has been close friends with Barrier brewing since they started brewing. So, when Hurricane Sandy devastated their brewing processes, Jimmy’s happened to have some of the last kegs on hand and in honor of helping them get back on their feet have been slipping them into rotation one-by-one. This Thursday they’ll be tapping the keg of their Submersible Belgian 1 – the brew in the fermenters at the time the storm hit – extra fermented by the hurricane.
This is a rare one, that you’ll probably never see again.
And afterwards you can head upstairs and hit up Standings for their Christmas bash.
Jimmy’s No. 43 is located at Downstairs 43 East 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!
We know why you’ve come here today, just sit back and let us plan your week of beer swigging events…
Monday August 20th -
Murray’s Cheese is a locals favorite of most New Yorkers – legendary on Bleecker, I recently had a true New Yorker get so excited that “Murray’s now sells beer!” As if the craft beer revolution was now official in his mind. Well, those of us who’ve been following for quite some time welcome Murray’s Cheese to the table and let’s see what they got! On Monday, August 20th, Murray’s Cheese pairs with the Shelton Brothers to present “Belgian Beers and Cheese” – the problem is (with Murray’s being new to the craft beer scene – we’re very cheap) it’s $75 to get in and availability is limited (10 seats for this class).
Murray’s Cheese is located at 254 Bleecker St., New York, NY

Tuesday, July 31 – $10 Tuesday Tastings: Cellar Reserve Selections @ Jimmy’s No. 43, Manhattan:
There are certain cellars New Yorkers would love to get into: Museum of Natural History (dinosaur bones!), the Comedy Cellar (surprise Louis C.K. standup) and Jimmy’s No. 43. We can only imagine what their collection of cellar reserve bottles looks like. Well, we don’t have to imagine anymore. Tuesday night they’ll be featuring special selections from their cellar for your tasting pleasure. Expect greatness.
Tuesday Tastings are only $10 and Jimmy’s suggests that you get there early.
Jimmy’s No. 43 is located at 43 East 7th Street, downstairs, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan.

What a kick-off weekend! The Beer Friends enjoyed quite a bit of craft beer this weekend in honor of the 2011 New York City Craft Beer Week. Rattle n’ Hum threw a great Barrier and Greenport bash Friday night, the Smuttynose pouring at Mudville on Saturday was fantastic (especially that Homunculus) and we’re still not sure which is better – the Concoction or the Penicillin that we tasted on Sunday.
Because there is so much to do this week and weekend, we’re going to be breaking up the Beer Friends event listings for the week. Today we’re throwing at you the events happening from Monday to Thursday. You can then check back on Thursday for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday events – a.k.a. The Grand Finale of NYC Craft Beer Week. We’re hitting the streets, bars and breweries this week with a feverish devotion and we sure hope to see all you NYC Beer Friends out there with us!
Monday, September 19
Got a case of the Monday’s after such a fantastic craft beer fueled weekend? We understand. We also know how to help.

It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! I feel like a child on Christmas (Hanukkah, Quanza or Atheist Hate-On-Everyone Day – we’re equal opportunity here) – if Christmas was 10,000 times more magical and filled with beer than it already is. The 2011 New York City Craft Beer Week has arrived! From Friday, September 16 to Sunday, September 25 (Yes! I know it’s more than a week! Two extra days!) we here in NYC will be inundated, not by deluges of hurricanes or the shaky grounds of earthquakes, but floods of delicious craft beer at an incredible number of establishments – so many that you literally couldn’t commute to work each day without bumping into at least one event venue.
The NYC Craft Beer Week website has the full list of events (along with opportunities to obtain a passport with boatloads of craft beer deals) and it is immense and impressive. To help you sift through the dozens of craft beering happening each day we picked out the events that were the most intriguing, from our favorite breweries, pouring the rarest of brews and in general, a guaranteed damn good time. This edition covers the weekend on Monday. Check back in Monday morning for our take on next week’s events.
We hope you agree with our list and, as always, can’t wait to see you out there in the jungle…the 2011 New York City Craft Beer Week jungle that is!
Friday, September 16
Friday night starts the whole shebang off with a lip smackin’ range of events. You can choose to hit up the Official NYC Craft Beer Week opening festivity at Southpaw in Park Slope (the tickets are $50 and include a tasting glass for free tastings and some pretty kick-ass music). Check out their website and see if it’s in your sights. If tickets aren’t your flavor then check out these pay-as-you-go events:

We are officially approaching the dog days of August, but it seems like we’ve been there for a couple of weeks already. The rest of the world characterizes the “dog days” as those times in August where the days stretch on for endless hours and are filled with heat and humidity that requires 24/7 air conditioning. Well, after experiencing 2+ weeks of these oppressively hot/humid days and it only now has become the month of August, we are a bit tired of the weather. We’re going to need some help getting through whatever August has to throw at us. And we have the solution: Craft beer.
Actually there’s more than that in this week’s post. In fact, if you keep reading there is a surprise that will make you very, very hoppy, uh, I mean, happy that you did.
Tuesday, August 2nd – Smuttynose Tap Takeover @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:
No Smutty, No Beer. Know Smutty, Know Beer. They don’t need to say a word more, it’s literally as simple as that. New Hampshire’s premier brewery will be hitting up Rattle n’ Hum and owning their tap’s this Tuesday night. They have an (more…)

Hallelujah! The Apocalypse/Judgement Day/Coolest Party Ever has been averted! Well, maybe it wasn’t ever going to happen in the first place, or maybe somebody out there prayed really hard…or the Big Guy upstairs didn’t want to end the ingenuity of American Craft Brewing just yet. You know, just when it was starting to get good. (more…)

May. What a month. Spring flowers, worker’s rights, Mexican Fives and Memorial Day. May is like a non-stop party. What kind of beer should we drink to start this party? Ithaca Flower Power for the flowers? The Peoples Lager from China for May Day? Negro Modelo for Cinco de Mayo? A Southhampton Double White for Memorial Day? You know, cause we’re all double excited to finally be able to wear white now.
Tuesday, May 3 – Pretty Things “Once Upon A Time” Launch Party @ The Rye House, Manhattan:
Ever wonder what beer tasted like in 1855? The country was just about to be divided by civil
