If you’re planning on getting started early on All Hallows Eve, why not begin at The Brooklyn Brewery. In addition to our normally scheduled tours (1pm, 2pm, 3pm & 4pm) and $4 beers, we’ll be giving away delicious prizes for the following costume categories:
Alright? Brooklyn, seriously. Get it together and come on out to The Brewery for some refreshing beer and good ole fashioned fun.
Since 1980, CMJ has ushered thousands of bands to New York City every Fall for their Music Marathon. Here at the Brewery we’re psyched to welcome the new-music festival into our own home as well as to the brand spanking new Knitting Factory, down the street here in Williamsburg. See details below.
CMJ Badgeholder Happy Hour @ The Brooklyn Brewery, Friday, Oct 23, 4pm – 6pm
We’re opening our Friday Happy Hour early for the rock fiends who have gotten the Music Marathon badge. Special acoustic performances by Brooklyn bands, La Strada and Drink Up Buttercup. Free admission for badge-holders. The first 150 badge-holders receive a complimentary beer.
The AV Club Day Party @ The Knitting Factory, Saturday, Oct 24, Noon. FREE.
We’re teaming up with the purveyors of cultural knowledge and criticism over at AV Club NY for some afternoon music and day drinking at The Knitting Factory. If you haven’t been to KF’s new space, this Saturday will be an excellent opportunity to get your first taste of their great new space.
Some words about the music from The A.V. Club:
Frontman Rick Froberg sounds reenergized on I Blame You, the Sub Pop debut by his new group, Obits. The fact remains, though, that Obits sounds a hell of a lot like the bands that made Froberg so loved by angry nerds worldwide: Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. Of course, that’s a good thing—especially when guitarist Sohrab Habibion of the underrated ’90s post-hardcore outfit Edsel is along for the ride.
Brewmaster Garrett Oliver will be on hand for the six-course event
Chai’s Lounge & Tapas (462 King Street) announced an upcoming beer dinner with a very special guest. On Tues. Oct. 20 at 6 p.m., The Brooklyn Brewery’s longtime brewmaster Garrett Oliver — an authority in the United States on the subject of traditional beer and an acclaimed celebrity in the craft beer world — will be on hand to personally present six of his brewery’s lagers and ales with a six-course feast prepared by Executive Chef Derek Falta.
Oliver is the author of The Brewmaster’s Table and an avid and lecturer. He regularly hosts beer tastings and dinners, and he’s internationally recognized as an expert on traditional beer styles and their affinity with good food. In a recent summer issue, All About Beer magazine described Oliver as “the Beau Brummel of the brewing community … best known for bringing media attention to the pairing of beer and food.”
The menu, posted on the Brooklyn Brewery site, looks quite rich and colorful. Appetizers of pâté, pickled carrots, cucumbers, and “maple chicken lollipops” are paired with the Brooklyn Lager. Shrimp dumplings with two sauces come served with the Brooklyn Sorachi Ace. Spicy sweet potato bisque with buttermilk marinated cornmeal oysters accompany the Brooklyn East India Pale Ale. The main courses include wreckfish and blue crab succotash with the strong Brooklyn Local, and braised pork belly in pumpkin with collard greens and jalapeño corn bread with the popular Brooklyn Brown Ale. The dessert course features chocolate bread pudding with coffee ice cream alongside the mighty Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout.
Reservations are available for $65 per person (plus tax and tip). Limited space is available.

ICC’s class description after the jump:
Recently, we got together with our friends from Finger On The Pulse at their schmancy new loft for a couple glasses of Manhattan Project. They were in the middle of planning a dinner party starring the talents of Chef David Colston from Carroll Gardens’ Prime Meats. Well why not pair David’s delectable meal with some of Garrett’s most inventive beers while FOTP lay down the soundtrack? Yeah, why not. So, together we came up with what we’re sure will be a memorable beer dinner right here in the neighborhood.
Won’t you join us?
Here’s the nitty gritties from Finger On The Pulse:
Ladies and Gentleman, just because the summer is over, doesn’t mean that we are done with pairing great food & drinks with music. We are happy to announce our very first dinner party, coming up on October 29th. The illustrious David Colston from Prime Meats will be presiding over the stoves, while Garrett Oliver from Brooklyn Brewery will be pouring delicious beers from their special (and unreleased) reserves for a five-course menu. As always, Finger On The Pulse will be on the decks, pairing tasty tunes with delectable treats. Hosted in a beautiful loft, this is a food event not to be missed.
