Brew and Boating – a match made in heaven. Let Classic Harbor Line of Chelsea Piers, NYC work out all the details. Throw a patch over one eye, down a can of spinach, and call up your best sea-faring, beer-drinkin’ lads for a night to remember.

This series runs Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30 aboard the 1920’s style Yacht Manhattan with a different Brewery or host each night. Teak decks and a comfy cozy observatory awaits for this Fall themed series (aptly named the Autumnal Beer Paring Cruise).

Hosted by Kelly Taylor of Kelso of Brooklyn. Kelso creates craft beers using sustainable practices to impact the environment in a positive enriching manner. From fresh easy drinking Pilsner to Sour Cherry Lambic their beers are interesting and unique. They recently have partnered with Stone Barns at Blue Hill to create seasonal beers using the freshest of quality ingredients. Join him in this special pairing cruise series, featuring 5 different US craft beers paired with 5 tasting plates prepared by Classic Harbor Line’s on board chef.

The Beer Paring is just half the adventure. You’ll travel out into the crisp ocean air in New York Harbor, pass under the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges; and get some killer views of Financial District, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Bring a camera, bring a jacket, bring an appetite and get to know this uber-cool boat that features a number of small, intimate foodie-inspired cruises.

Germany’s 176th Oktoberfest is underway, with six-million visitors from around the world expected at the 16-day beer festival. Oktoberfest is our kind of festival. It combines some of our favorite things in life: beer, food, and cleavage. In honor of the later, we have put together a gallery of the hottest girls of Oktoberfest, sporting their “Dirndl” – traditional dress. For those of you who want to know about the festival and the beer, we provide the following link to Wikipedia. The rest of you can get to the reason you came here:
