Bear Republic event moved to the 30th.

FYI, our big Craft Beer Week Bear Republic event, with the brewers (for the first time ever in NYC!), cheese pairings, specials, and giveaways, just moved from Wednesday the 29th to Thursday, September 30, starting at 7 pm. You should definitely be here. (Plus, on Thursday, as during the rest of Craft Beer Week, we feature a Bear Republic beer for $3 for Passport holders).

Stay tuned for further info

but we're going to have a mead/beer tasting here on Friday from 4:30-6:30 pm to celebrate the start of Craft Beer Week 2010. Save the time for now--there should be some really interesting mead and mead/beer mixtures from the folks at Coney Island.

Thanks to everyone

who made it out to our party. It was a glorious conglomeration of all our favorite people. Below are a few pictures we took. We kicked two kegs of our Missionary Style IPA, but more are on their way; they should be here by Monday of next week.

Craft Beer Week Passports now on sale!

We now have passports for New York City's Craft Beer Week 2010, which will run from September 24-October 3, and include many exciting events. More info is available on their website here:

http://nycbeerweek.com/

The Passports are only $10 this year, and entitle you to a $3 pint of craft beer at basically every good beer bar in the city (including, of course, Pacific Standard). Plus, the Passport has specials and benefits that extend for an entire year, making it definitely worth the price. Come by and purchase one from your friendly bartender. Also, ask them about the official Craft Beer Week t-shirt; we have a very limited number of them for sale for $10, in medium-large sizes, while supplies last.

Yet further details on our birthday event September 14.

Here are the awesome beers from Sixpoint we'll have on our 3rd birthday (observed) September 14:

On draft:

--Missionary Style IPA (you can check out Sixpoint's Facebook post about it here: http://bit.ly/djlFwI). We'll have it on draft and in firkins! Finally Pacific Standard and Sixpoint have consummated their long-simmering relationship with a beer Sixpoint brewed exclusively for Pacific Standard.
--Bengali Tiger
--Sehr Crisp Pilsner
--Pumpkin Brewster (brand-new pumpkin beer)
--Apollo Wheat
--Otis Stout (on nitro!)
--Old Krusher (barleywine!)
--Brownstone
--Gorilla Warfare
--Double Sweet Action
--Two Enterprise beers (not to be missed--they're one-off experimental beers from Sixpoint's pilot brewing program)

In casks:

--Sixpoint Righteous Rye
--Sixpoint Missionary Style IPA (the special Pacific Standard beer in firkin form too!)

Overall, we'll have 12 Sixpoint beers on draft and 2 Sixpoint beers on cask, for a whopping 14 tasty quaffs from Brooklyn. We'll also have special Sixpoint/Pacific Standard mashup pint glasses which we'll be giving away (more details on that soon). This is probably the most essential night to be at Pacific Standard in our 1000+ days of being open; we hope to have a beer with you Tuesday!

Story Collider September 15 at 8 pm.

From a simple radioactive decay, from Carbon-14 to Nitrogen-14, comes the discovery of the age of Egyptian Mummies and ancient hominids, the tracking of key data on climate change, and religious controversy and heartache. Join The Story Collider for five tales of Carbon Dating, 8pm September 15 at Pacific Standard.

The Story Collider brings together lobbyists, researchers, musicians, and other disreputable types to tell us personal stories about the times when, for good or ill, science happened.
