In a year full of openings of flashy, oversized beer venues in New York, sometimes you just want to feel at home in some place a bit more cozy. Thankfully, there’s a much more modest spot has opened in Williamsburg - Beer Boutique (497 Union Ave., at Meeker Ave., Williamsburg). Tucked away in a shop that’s barely 200 square feet, this beer shop still packs a punch in terms of selection, yet you’ll never get lost or overwhelmed in a sea of beers.
It’s Monday, April 23rd. Here’s our list of recommended beer-related events in and around New York after work tonight:

As we’ve discussed on this site before, there’s a long tradition of beer brewing in New York City. From the Dutch settlers who established the city’s first brewery to the booming breweries in Brooklyn of the 20th Century, beer has always been a part of this city’s history. And starting in May, The New-York Historical Society Museum will feature a new exhibit that details the storied past of beer in the five boroughs called Beer Here: Brewing New York’s History.
We’ve got a great deal for you: go to one of our favorite beer stores this weekend - Breukelen Bier Merchants (182 Grand St., at Driggs Ave., Williamsburg) - and they’ll give you 10% off bottles and beer merchandise you buy… just because you’re cool and we love you! Okay, fine, it’s because they’re celebrating their first anniversary all weekend long, with live music on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, plus a special tap list, with beers like Smuttynose Really Old Brown Dog, and the Alesmith IPA on tap for the first time ever in New York. They’ll also pour a gravity cask of Wandering Star Mild at Heart, offer select $3 draughts, food, giveaways, and more. It’s a weekend-long extravaganza! Leave some room for it in your calendar.
And while you’re at it, leave some room for these other beer events listed below…

The Hudson Valley city of Newburgh isn’t known for much these days. Unfortunately, it’s probably best known for falling on rough times lately, with a high crime rate, a tumultuous local government, and an under-utilized waterfront. But with the official opening of a new brewery in the city this week, it may soon become known for something much better: beer.
