There’s no better month than September to be a craft beer lover. NY Craft Beer Week kicks off on September 24 with 10 days of craft beer and food events. The crown jewel of NY Craft Beer Week is the 1st Annual Get Real NY Craft Beer & Food Festival taking place September 25 & 26 at The Altman Building event space in Chelsea (135 W 18th b/t 6th & 7th Aves). A cast of local craft beer lovers, beer writers and bar owners led by Patrick Donagher of favorite NYC craft beer bar Rattle N Hum have been busy planning New York’s largest cask beer festival ever. And with this crew hand-selecting the 80+ cask beers you know it’s gonna be damn good. Not too mention the local foods that will be provided by 20+ restaurants to pair with your beer. Think Luke’s Lobster. There are four 3-hour sessions over the weekend (12-3pm & 5-8pm on Sat & Sun; $65) and 2 VIP sessions (4-8pm on Sat & Sun; $80).  The good news is that they’ve learned from the mistakes of past beer events and have capped the number of tickets for each session, meaning more food and beer and less waiting in annoying, long lines. Even better news Get Real NY is offering Wined & Dined readers a $5 discount with the following code: winedanddined1 — so head on over here for some more info and to purchase your tickets now. This $10 discount is only good through 9/3 and then we will give you another code for $5 off your tickets. Your ticket gets you into the event and a free tasting glass. Once into the event you have 3 hours of all-you-can-eat-and-drink craft beer and food pairing ahead of you. Food vendors include places like Luke’s Lobster, Grandaisy Bakery, Sour Puss Pickles and many others. The beer list is insane! (Ticket Info for Get Real NY on Eventbrite)
