STK Rooftop hosts a “Wet ’n’ Wild Fourth of July” with boozy snowcones, a cotton candy machine and cocktails rimmed with pop rocks. Begins at 12 p.m.
Perilla’s Monday Night Gypsy Brewer Series continues on July 2nd and every Monday thereafter in July with a tasting menu paired around a selection of our friend Brian Strumke’s Stillwater Artisanal Ales. Like June’s featured brewery, Evil Twin, Stillwater is brewed in various locations around the world. In 2010, Strumke traded one passion for another when he left his career as an international D.J. to bring his homebrew to the masses. Since then, Stillwater has become something of a cult phenom among craft beer fans. We’re also a big fan of Chef/Owner Harold Dieterle and what he’s done at Perilla and Kin Shop. These pairing dinners are a great opportunity to experience top-notch, artisanally-inspired food and beer from two individuals who are taking their respective craft to the next level. $60 per person. Reservations strongly encouraged.
We got your boozy Saturday plans covered. Join Get Real Presents on a craft-beer fueled road trip to Captain Lawrence Brewing Company in Westchester about 45 minutes outside of the city. You’ll get transportation both ways on a luxury liner, complete with food and drinks, a VIP tour of the brewery, where you’ll meet the brewers and other representatives from Captain Lawrence, 2 hours of unlimited sampling in the tasting room, and a round of beers upon returning to the city. Pick up and drop-off at Idle Hands Bar in the East Village. Bus leaves at 5pm and will return around 9pm. Tickets and additional info
