NYC this weekend

I'm sure others can help fill in the events question, but here's a great thread to start:

Go to Other Half on Saturday. No can release this weekend, so no shitshow. It's a small space, but great music and chill vibe--grab a few growlers to go, too. From SoHo its an easy ride on the F train.

 

Some of my favorite spots...

If you're into wild ales, there is a Funk 'N' Sour Event at One Mile House:

Saturday I'd go to the Queens beer week kickoff party in Long Island City - right across the river from Manhattan.
Its at the newish beautiful riverfront park at LIC Landing.

Barrier, SingleCut and Finback will be featured - they are some of the best NYC breweries you might not have heard of (besides) Grimm and Other Half.

No I have no idea, sorry. Ticket is cheap so hopefully some samples are involved. I'd prefer a pay as you go setup. You can try emailing the organizers.

 

this is also happening this weekend:

BREW AT THE ZOO

Friday May 20 & Saturday May 21, 2016

It’s time to learn about the birds and the beers. Come by for 40 craft breweries, food trucks, sea lions, penguins, and more.

 

looks like its not this coming weekend and its sold out.

 

Sunday Finback is having their 2nd anniversary party with a can and bottle release. I'm not sure if you'd wanna spend a day trekking out to the middle of nowhere Queens to wait in line, but I thought id share anyway.

 

I don't know that you'd want to go to OH. It's my experience that it's always pretty crowded and there isn't exactly food on site, but a short walk up smith street gives you access to everything.

If you want to see if there are beers you won't find back in Mass, I'd say to visit bottle shops Good Beer, Bowery Whole Foods, and alphabet city beer company. All are pretty close and the food scene down there is incredible.

You could also just look through the list of venues Kanger linked in the NYC thread and then stalk their facebook pages for interesting things.

The nice thing about NYC right now is that pretty much wherever you are, there's great beer to be had nearby.

Also I'd recommend Threes for that Saturday brewery visit! St. Gambrinus is a kick ass nearby bottle shop where you might have a chance for some interesting finds.

 

Correct me if I am wrong. The only place to get OH cans is at the brewery. You might find some beers on tap but not all can releases. Also, some beers are only available at the brewery on tap.

 

MOSTLY true. They "show up" around town. If OP wants OH, coming from mass the best bet is, provided access, to bring some trillium, tree house, nebco stuff down or whatever for IP trades.

The best thing about beer in NYC though isn't waiting in lines for whales the same way one can in other locations, it's the consistently great can/bottle/draft access we have.

 

You might get flagged for posting that here, but check out ISO:FT (In Person), mid atlantic, there are offers probably already up ISO those things

 

Ha, the consequences would just be deletion of some posts and probably a warning message plus they'll key your car. It's just that admins try to make sure trading stays in the marked trading forums. It makes for more manageable forums.

 

You are correct, you should not trade your treehouse for Other Half.
