The number of bars serving more than a couple of craft beers on tap in the upper-reaches of Manhattan can probably be counted on one hand. But just a half-block out of the 191st Street stop on the 1 Train lies a new diamond in the rough: the week-old Buddha Beer Bar (4497 Broadway, at 192nd St., Washington Heights).

Tickets for the 2nd Annual Beer for Beasts event, sponsored by Sixpoint and Beer Advocate are disappearing! In fact, the day session is 100% sold out, and the night session has just 250 tickets remaining!
During the event, which will be held on Saturday, March 31st at The Bell House (149 7th St., at 3rd Ave., Gowanus), Sixpoint will serve up forty beers that have never been brewed before. Many of them will be collaborations with members of the community, extending Sixpoint’s locally-focused and locally-mindful mantra. They’ll also have local food from vendors like Calexico and Big Gay Ice Cream. Last year, the event raised over $30,000 for The Humane Society of New York City.
Tickets for the evening session, which runs from 6-10pm on March 31st, are available for $60 here. Hurry up and get them before they’re gone!
We’ve been hammering away at the fact that not all craft beer should be sold at $7 a pint. The phenomenon of the $7 is creating two problems: Price Creep, where more and more bars believe it’s acceptable to charge $7 for all pints of beer, and Price Acceptance, where beer drinkers unwilling to comparison shop accept $7 as a reasonable price for a pint of any beer.
Unfortunately, these concepts aren’t limited to the pricing of pints; it also applies to beer sold in bottle shops - especially when the beer is a small-batch, rare, or once-a-year release.
