Where to Drink on National Beer Day Around NYC

Just in time for outdoor patio weather, National Beer Day is here. As you may or may not know, April 7th is the anniversary of the Cullen-Harrison Act of 1933, which legalized the sale in the United States of beer with an alcohol content of 3.2%, thereby bringing a beginning to the end of Prohibition.

While it may be less well-known and brazen than Repeal Day each December, it is certainly my favorite beverage holiday. Here are a few fun events and locations to check out for your National Beer Day celebration:

Bierwax

For National Beer Day, Prospect Heights’ vinyl record craft beer bar will offer Happy Hour Specials, which is $2 off a select number of draft pours. Spin record. Drink beer. Repeat.

Mikkeller Run Club Long Run

If you’ve never had a beer after a long run or race, I highly suggest it.  Mikkeller Brewing has running clubs all over the world, and this Sunday if you are in the mood for a serious detox-retox, join the Mikkeller Run Club for a beer destination run to Five Boroughs Brewing in Sunset Park. RSVP recommended on Eventbrite.  There are two departure locations.

As Is – 10:15 A.M. (approximately 11 miles)
Beer Karma – 11:00 A.M. (approximately 7 miles)
