Tuesday, August 14 – Tuesday Night Tasting: Sierra Nevada Beer Camp @ Bierkraft, Brooklyn:
Every craft beer lovers dream is to go to a summer camp for brewers and beer lovers alike.

If you’re lucky then you’ve stumbled upon a spot serving these camp brews. If you haven’t been lucky, then tonight is your night. Head over to Bierkraft to have Brian from Sierra Nevada educate you on the program as well as tap four new offerings for your drinking pleasure.

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:

Good morning all you Beer Friends out there! This week’s NYC craft beer events list will be slightly abridged, and for a good reason. We’ll only be showcasing events from today until Thursday, after that there’s a bit of a surprise in store for you. New York City Craft Beer Week. Beginning Friday, September 16. We here at the Beer Friends think that a week dedicated solely to craft beer happening in the greatest city on the planet (and sponsored by the mayor) is important enough to deserve its own post. So, when Thursday comes around and you realize that you’ve come to the end of this week’s Beer Friends sponsored events, don’t fret. That morning we’ll throw our list of the Beer Friends most anticipated events for NYC Craft Beer Week 2011. Yes, two Beer Friends events listings a week makes should make you feel warm inside, it’s natural.
Tuesday, September 13 – 12% Imports Tap Takeover @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:

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…)

We definitely have a reason to celebrate this weekend. Actually, two reasons.
First, we celebrate the great country we live in. A country, that sense its beginning has encouraged ingenuity and creativity among its citizens. It’s that common instinct that inspires that brewers of the craft beer that we love to do what they do. It’s why the craft beer industry has continued to be successful and grow by leaps and bounds every year. Craft Beer is as natural to America as fireworks and cookouts on the 4th of July.
We also get to celebrate craft beer itself. As deemed by the brewers and craft beer bar owners behind The Good Beer Seal, July is Good Beer Month. Now here at the Beer Friends believe every month should be Good Beer Month. But we’re pretty okay with picking one out and giving it a name. So tomorrow, while your cooking out and watching the fireworks, raise your glass of your favorite brew in a toast to craft beer and to America, the country that not only allows craft beer to exist, but inspires it’s incredible and delicious diversity.
Enjoy the events:
Tuesday, July 5 – The Big Le-Brewski Event: Part 2 @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:

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…)

I woke up this morning with great expectations. The sun was shining, a warm summer breeze blowing through the air, the smell of blossoming plants and then I opened my eyes. Rain. Thunder. Fog. And it was cold. And it will be happening all week long. Then I looked at the list of craft beer events happening this week. The clouds parted, the sun came back out and the annoying spitting from the dense fog that engulfed the city transformed into a soft mist reminiscent of the Irish countryside. Yea, craft beer has that affect on me.
Tuesday, May 17 – Empire Brewing Company Night @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:
Imagine you were taking a boat trip down the Erie Canal (10 points if you know where the Erie Canal is) rafting through the port towns of Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo and you wanted a beer. The obvious choice is Empire Brewing Company. Started in Syracuse and at
