NYC Beer Events Calendar: March 21-27
It is a bit of a light week for craft beer in New York this week when means there are still more events than most other cities. Highlights include a massive Avery night Tuesday at The Pony Bar and the two year anniversary of Greenpoint’s Brouwerij Lane. Saturday we see Sixpoint and Beer Advocate’s massive Beer 4 Beasts benefit but if – like me – you slept on your tickets, well, its sold out.
THE WEEK AHEAD
Rest Up
Avery Brewing Night – The Pony Bar, New York, NY
Avery’s rolls out the whole family of brews at The Pony tonight including their new pislern, Joe’s American Pils, and the 16th and 17th Anniversary ales. Classics such as the duganA, Maharaja, Collaboration Not Litigation, Ellie’s Brown, White Rascal, IPA, Karma, Old Jubilation, New World Porter, Outta Bounds Stout, The Czar Imperial Stout, Kaiser Octoberfest, Salvation, The Reverend and Hog Heaven make an appearance along with the entire demon series…Samaels, Mephistopheles, and the Beast. And if that wasn’t enough, keep an eye out for The Meph Addiction. Whew!
I’ll be at Radagast, just because I like it there. Come by and say hi!
Brouwerij Lane Two Year Anniversary Party – Brouwerij Lane, Brooklyn
The taps flow freely tonight from 6pm – 8pm in honor of the two year anniversary of Greenpoints finest fresh beer store. After that you can grab a growler to go or drink by the glass and continue the fun until 10pm.
Empire Brewing Company – The Dive Bar, NYC
You don’t hear too much about Syracuse’s Empire Brewing Company these days. Although they pop up on tap every once and a while, tonight is a rare chance to check out their full range of brews with seven taps at uptown’s Dive Bar. the taplist includes White Aphro, Empire Wheat Wine, Empire Cream Ale, Empire State Pale Ale, Empire IPA and Empire Lager.
Beer For Beasts – The Bell House, Brooklyn, NY
Sixpoint presents 16 brand new beers, all brewed exclusively for tonight’s Beer for Beasts in association with Beer Advocate. Many of these beers will be collaborative brews, made with other members of the community at Sixpoint’s facility. All proceeds benefit The Humane Society of New York City.
