Beer Sessions Radio™, The Good Beer Seal and Jimmy’s No. 43 are delighted to announce the Seventh Annual Good Beer Seal Awards taking place at Jimmy’s No. 43 (43 East 7th Street in the East Village) on July 29th at 7 p.m. This year’s inductees will join 58 of their peers from the five boroughs of NYC, plus select bars in northeastern New Jersey and on Long Island. The Good Beer Seal Awards are the culmination of July Good Beer Month, which features specialty events across the city with a focus on craft beer, the brewers who make them, and the local establishments that sell craft beer.
The night will showcase the new bars receiving the Good Beer Seal, along with special craft beers on tap and bites from the new Tito King’s Kitchen at Jimmy’s No. 43. In addition to representatives of existing Good Beer Seal Bars, beer bloggers, writers and food-related media throughout the city will be available to mix, mingle and discuss this year’s entries.
The Good Beer Seal was co-founded in 2009 by Jimmy Carbone (Jimmy’s No. 43), Ray Deter (RIP – former owner of d.b.a.), Ben & Mike Wiley (Bar Great Harry), Gary Gillis (Burp Castle/Standings), and Dave Brodrick (Blind Tiger). The Good Beer Seal exists to identify bars offering an intriguing selection of craft beer in a unique atmosphere created by owner/operators who exhibit a deep commitment not only to the promotion of craft beer but to their community as well.
