Presenting July Good Beer Month 2015

We are happy once again to bid an official welcome to July Good Beer Month!

Beer Sessions Radio™ and The Good Beer Seal are teaming up for our annual theme month focused on good beer. The Seventh Annual July Good Beer Month™ leads off by co-hosting two launch events: a new Good Beer Passport and a party celebrating the new Craft Beer NY Map, leading into our week of “Running with the Bulls” (different bars will be celebrating with Spanish craft beer events) and a new event: Cookout NYC’s Running with the Beef™ on the beautiful Manhattan waterfront. Of course, we’re bringing back our annual live Craft Beer Jam broadcasts at WNYC’s The Greene Space, featuring guests from near (local brewery owners) and far (Ale Sharpton from Atlanta). And we’ll wrap the month with Edible’s Good Beer and the Good Beer Seal Awards! Key events for the month include the following:

  • Cookout NYC’s Running with the Beef™ – Saturday, July 11th, at Stuyvesant Cove Park. Some of NYCs best chefs (including Robbie Richter, Anthony Sasso, others at 10+ grilling stations) cooking Spanish-style dishes from grass-fed beef; offerings range from traditional (Grilled Steak, Brisket, Beef Sausages) to unique (Harry Hawk’s Spanish Schnack Burgers from Schweid & Sons) all along Manhattan’s scenic East River. Live entertainment (DJ, Flamenco dancers), plus a great line-up of Spanish and American craft beer from Iberian United/Shelton Brothers, Sixpoint and Two Roads.
  • Three sessions of the renowned Craft Beer Jam at WNYC’s The Greene Space: Join Beer Sessions Radio™ host Jimmy Carbone for panels on July 8th, 15th and 22nd as beer luminaries gather to discuss (and drink) with a live audience.
  • The return of Edible’s Good Beer at Hudson Mercantile on July 30th.
  • The conferring of the 2015 Good Beer Seal Awards (location TBA).
