Great Anchor event July 18.

On Thursday, July 18 Pacific Standard will host Anchor Brewing, featuring their brand-new California Lager, as well as their Liberty, Summer, and Porter. All four beers will be $1 off all evening. Brewery reps will be on hand to talk with customers, and there will be giveaways of Anchor merchandise. Finally, we'll feature a rare treat that's for the beer and spirit lover alike: Anchor's Hophead Hop Vodka. It'll be available for sampling on its own, as well as in beery mixed drinks.

Come see a pilot screening on Sunday!

From the excellent individuals who have created LoveFail.com, a new web series, the pilot episode of which was filmed at our bar, and will be advance-screened at our bar on Sunday at 2 pm:

We're kicking off our Kickstarter campaign with an advance screening of our pilot!

Please come join some of the cast and crew for the PILOT SCREENING of LoveFail.com -- an original scripted web series about the daunting, humorous, and awkward world of online dating. We'll be screening at Pacific Standard -- the bar location featured in the series. Very meta.

There will be light snacks and plenty of beer to purchase (good selection, lots of IPAs), which if you've ever been on an online date, is plenty useful!

The pilot episode is 6 minutes of raw talent featuring: LAURA GREY, BRIAN CICHOCKI, CLEM McINTOSH, and JADE LANE.

Shot by the masterful ERIC PHILLIPS-HORST of Meerkat Media Collective; edited by the spectacular MICHELLE BOTTICELLI; co-produced by the talented STEVEN PHILLIPS-HORST; and written, directed and produced by JULIA PRICE BARON.

Please come support our hard work with some afternoon drinks and help us spread the word to raise the funds we need in order to complete the remaining 7 episodes of the season. We'll be launching our Kickstarter campaign that evening so the more noise we can make, the better!

Hope to see you and yours there.

Good Beer Craft Passports at Pacific Standard.

Get Real Presents has teamed up with the New York State Brewers Association to present "The Good Beer Craft Passport," which will act as a fundraiser for the organization as well as for Hurricane Sandy relief in NYC.

Craft beer fans will have an opportunity to buy a passport from Get Real Presents that offers the choice of one full pour draft beer from a New York brewery at any of the participating bars and restaurants, or one flight of four four-ounce draft tastes. Passports, which are $30 per person, will go on sale on June 16 at:

and be on sale until July 31, and will be redeemable July 1 through September 2. Starting July 1, you'll be able to pick up your passport at the official location in your borough. Pacific Standard has been named the official location for pick-up/redemption of passports in Brooklyn.

We'll also be having a kick-off event on July 1, where all New York state beers will go for $4 all night. So even after you get your free beer from your passport, you and your friends can have a few more at a great price.
