The Beer Friends

Craft Beer Week is over.  And it was fantastic.  Anything that brings that much craft beer into this great city of ours is a good thing.  The Beer Friends were in full support throughout the week and were thrilled with all the great beer events.  Thank you to the organizers, the bars and the brewers for fantastic times!   Although NYC Craft Beer  Week is over, the craft beer events have not stopped flowing.  This week’s listing is non-surprisingly thinner than last week’s, however I think you’ll still be able to find some great gems to head out to.

Tuesday, October 5 – Sierra Nevada Night @ The Pony Bar: The Beer Friends favorite NYC Craft Beer Bar is throwing another epic brewery event in a chain of equally epic brewery events.  If you remember last years Sierra Nevada night then you will want to head on over to this one.  Sierra will be taking over the taps and throwing on a couple cask lines hopefully filling our beer desires with Tumbler, Torpedo, Rebellion, Chico IPA and many more favorites.  If you know Sierra, and how many beers they brew, then you know you’ll be able to find one, or two (or three, or four) brews of theirs that will ignite your curiosity.  Oh, and we always forget to mention that the craft beers at The Pony Bar are only $5.  ALL THE TIME.  Except for 4:20 – 5:20 everyday.  WHEN THEY’RE ONLY $4.  Get there early, get a table, order the Roast Beast ( or the Friend Oysters and Bacon, or the Avocado-Lettuce-Tomato if you’re a Vegetarian) and get as much Sierra Nevada brew as your body can handle (responsibly of course), in an All-American atmosphere, all while being easy on your wallet.
