RYE BEER NIGHT
Location: Rye House (11 W. 17th St., at 5th Ave., Union Square)

Makes sense that Rye House would serve rye beers, right? Try the Founder’s Red’s Rye, Sixpoint Righteous, He’Brew Lenny’s RIPA, and more beers brewed with rye. They’ll also serve up some rye whiskeys for the beer-deficient.

NEW YORK VS. BOSTON BEER NIGHT

KELSO NIGHT
Location: Breukelen Bier Merchants (182 Grand St., at Driggs Ave., Williamsburg)

Drink beer as fresh as you can get, just 20 or so blocks from the brewery. Kelso offers up the Brandy Barrel-aged and Bourbon Barrel-aged versions of their IPA, plus the Kellerfest and their Flemish Sour.

CROSSROADS AND DAVIDSON AT BROADWAY DIVE
Location: Broadway Dive (2662 Broadway, at 101st St., Upper West Side)

The Broadway Dive dedicates their taps to brews from two Upstate breweries tonight: Crossroads from the Hudson Valley, and Davidson from Glens Falls. Crossroads’ Outrage IPA was the hit of last night’s Brewers’ Choice event, and Davidson’s beers are just as sharp and snappy as their logo.
