If you joined us at Good Beer 2013 in July, you already know that the evening was a knockout. The room was packed with a sold-out crowd and over 60 of our favorite restaurant, food, and drink artisans, in addition to cider makers, spirit brands, and (of course) terrific breweries.
When we think about all the fantastic, frothy, hoppy goodness coming our way at the end of the month, we can barely stein it! We mean stand it! See? Beer on the brain.
Our friends at Brooklyn Based and Brooklyn Brewery sure know how to throw a good party. Every summer they pick some worthy Brooklyn neighborhoods for their Immersion tour and then give away loads of tickets good for free beer samples and deals at bars, restaurants and shops in that area.

This weekend St. John Frizell, owner and bartender at Red Hook’s fab bar and restaurant Fort Defiance, will be teaching a class called “FIRE IN THE BOWL!: Hot Drinks for Long Nights” at the Intercourse, also in Red Hook.

With Sandy’s winds and surges gone, St. John Frizell, owner of Red Hook’s much beloved cafe and bar Fort Defiance, must contend with the buckets (gallons? tons? How does one quantify a flooded room?) of water left in the basement.
If you weren’t at 82Mercer last Tuesday, bummer. You missed out on some seriously Good Beer and food.
