It’s a big world outside the city limits of New York. And while it’s much easier to walk down the block to your local beer bar, there are some pretty great beer bars just outside of the city that are easily accessible by train, and offer you access to a lot of beer you just can’t find in the city. Here’s five such spots that might be worth a day trip on a lazy wintertime Saturday afternoon.
It’s Tuesday, January 15th. Here’s our list of recommended beer-related events in and around New York after work tonight:
Tonight’s the night! It’s the Vanberg & DeWulf Coast to Coast Toast, a citywide toast of Belgian beer at venues across all five boroughs, starting at 5pm today and running all night long. We have the full list of spots celebrating, but among our favorites are:

Kirk Struble has a little bit of a craft beer bar empire going on these days. From the same man that brought you Washington Commons, Amsterdam Ale House, and Fourth Avenue Pub - among others - comes a beer bar that’ll please the once craft beer-starved Upper East Side. Third Avenue Ale House (1644 Third Ave., at 92nd St., Upper East Side) brings with it a wide range of craft beers and pub grub to a neighborhood that’s really starting to show up on the craft beer map.
Vanberg & DeWulf, the Cooperstown-based importers of Belgian beers like Hop Ruiter, Saison Dupont, and Castelain, holds their second annual national celebration of Belgian beer called the Coast to Coast Toast 2. Here in New York, it’s a little bit late. Across the nation, the toast was held on November 15th (King’s Day in Belgium), but because of Hurricane Sandy, the beer couldn’t get to all the participating locations here in the city, so Vanberg & DeWulf made a corporate donation to Team Rubicon, and pushed the New York celebration to January 15th.
So, this Tuesday night starting at 5:15pm, at dozens of locations across the city, they’ll be celebrating the Coast to Coast Toast again. Call it a river to river toast, perhaps. Or a borough to borough toast. Whatever you call it, it’s a good way to get your hands on some great Belgian (and what they call “honorary Belgian”) beer this Tuesday, even at some bars better known for their American beer selection.
