NYC October

Gonna put this here since the "Add Event" page is down currently. The NYC Brewers Guild is hosting Blocktoberfest from 12:30-6 pm on Oct 14th at The Well (East Williamsburg). We've got 25 NYC breweries pouring and food for sale plus exclusive release of a collaboration can that the guild brewed at Other Half. I don't have deets on the canned beer but will hopefully get them soon - it's definitely some kind of hoppy beer (lame, I know, but that's all I've got). It's an admission fee/beer ticket fest rather than an-all-you-can-drink fest and any proceeds benefit the NYCBG (which is non-profit). Hope it's OK that I posted this - I'll add it as an event once the page is fixed. Event page is here: https://www.nycbrewed.com/blocktoberfest/. Feel free to reach out to me here or at nycbrewersguild@gmail if you have questions (I am currently the Sec of NYCBG).

Also, if you're looking for a bottle share spot, you are welcome to host it at Fifth Hammer in LIC next Mon, Tues or Wed (9-11).

Thanks Mary, not sure I'll make it to Blocktoberfest since I have to meet cgarvieuk and visit Mugs Ale House before heading to the airport.

Seems my Maine trip is off at least for weekend. So I'll probably do some pub/brewery crawling this weekend. So far Park Slope/Redhook/Prospect Heights, Williamsburg Greenpoint/Bushwick and East Village/Lower East Side look most interesting beer wise (though I have other places on my list as well).

Cool - just figured I'd throw it out there. Mugs is great regardless and I'm sure that their Anniversary lineup will be killer. I just remembered that Spuyten is having their Oktoberfest that day if you have time and want some German stuff (since it's a short walk from Mugs) - draft list is on their Facebook page.

Have fun crawling! As of this weekend, we're up to 33 breweries with tasting rooms in NYC and a whole lot of excellent bars.

Coming from Europe Oktoberfest is something I want to avoid at all cost :)

Singlecut Beersmiths, Interboro, Other Half, Finback, LIC, Greenpoint, Transmitter, Lineup, Threes, Big Alice, are on my list. Looking forward to it.

Is there a place in NYC where "Great Beers of Belgium" by Michael Jackson could be bought?

I should have said something sooner given that you're coming to NYC today, but if you brought any Polotmavy ticks, I'd be down for a trade. Didn't think of it in time.

Mary thanks for all the information! Putting Fifth Hammer on the list. LIC BP is on my list as well.

jtclockwork - sorry haven't brought any Polotmavy. Actually according to the RB database we don't have a single beer of that style in Croatia.
