NY VS NY: Beer Fight at The Owl Farm

What: NY VS NY: Beer Fight!

When: Tuesday, November 13, 6PM-10PM

Where: The Owl Farm

There are plenty of great breweries in NY. For this event we chose what we think are the best examples of several beer styles. Odds are good that a few oddballs will make it into the mix. You can check the tentative lineup of beers on the event page. Keep in mind that Sandy seriously effed a few breweries in NY, not to mention completely screwing up the distribution chains. So consider the lineup…dynamic.

Like all of our events, the beers will all be up when we open at 2PM. From 6PM-10PM the prices get nices.

The beers will all be up when we open at 2PM, but prices get low 6PM-10PM.

Election Night

You confuse? Don’t worry, we don’t have a permanent TV set up at BGH. We will just be setting up a projector for the election. The feed is coming from a dusty but trusty laptop, so it might be a little twitchy. But it’s the election, not a film screening.

The decidedly SD image quality isn’t the only reason to hit BGH for the election. We are handing over the night’s profit to the Red Hook Initiative. Folks in Red Hook have been shitting Legos since the storm hit. We got fairly lucky and are paying it Southwestward, so drink up.

There might be an oddball or two added to the list, but really, you’ll be coming for the first three beers, AMIRITE?

All event beers will be up when we open at 2PM. From 6PM-10PM all event beers will be $5.

BTW, WTF…2010 Mephistopheles!

We have a new format for events in 2012. The beers will all be up at 2PM on the day of the event, but from 6PM-10PM they all get discounted to $5.

Hope to see you there.

Mikkeller VS Evil Twin Event

What: Mikkeller VS Evil Twin

Where: Bar Great Harry

When: Tuesday, March 6, 6PM-10PM

Why:

• Imperial IPA
  • Mikkeller I Beat yoU / Scotland* / 9.75% / 12oz
  • Evil Twin Yang Imperial IPA / Scotland* / 10% / 12oz

• Imperial Stout/Porter
  • Mikkeller To From Via 2011 / IDK* / 8% / 12oz
  • Evil Twin Yin Imperial Stout / Scotland* / 10% / 12oz

• Some sort of Belgian concoction with no real boundaries
  • Mikkeller Monk’s Elixer / Belgium* / 10% / 12oz
  • Evil Twin Monk Suffers Serious Sugar Rush on Barbados / Denmark* / 8% / 12oz

• Session Beer?
  • Mikkeller Wet Hop Kellerbier / Belgium* / 5.5% / 16oz
  • Evil Twin Södermalm Hipster Ale / Denmark* / 5.5% / 16oz

• Combine the Evil Twin Yin and Yang for a berserk Black & Tan. Mo thinks it will be 20% ABV since each beer is 10%. Help her out, yeah?

The Bjergsø twin brothers are competitive. One runs Mikkeller and one runs Evil Twin. Both brewers have outlandishly large portfolios. Both make some of the most highly regarded beers in the world. Both do it without having their own breweries. Must be nice.

The general idea was to pair off the beers by genre so that it was a series of head-to-head battles. However, these two don’t make beers like that. They make a beer and then we try to label it as best we can. Nonetheless, we think we ended up with four pretty fair matches.

Hey, this is seriously the best value we’ve ever had at an event. The beers will all be up at 2PM on the day of the event, but from 6PM-10PM they all get discounted to $5.

Hope to see you there.

* There is absolutely no guarantee that we got all of these countries of origin correct. In fact, we’re more comfortable guaranteeing that we got at least one wrong. Fuckin’ nomad brewers.

Bear Republic Brewery Night

Where: Bar Great Harry

When: Tuesday, 2/7/12 6PM-10PM

The fine folks at Bear Republic sent a special truck bound for BGH for this event. We have some single batch brews, some that don’t typically make it off the West Coast, and some just pop up randomly and rarely. We might round out the list with a couple normal beers, e.g. Racer 5.

We have a new format for events in 2012. The beers will all be up at 2PM on the day of the event, but from 6PM-10PM they all get discounted to $5.
