Running now through Sunday, The New York Craft Beer Week is your opportunity to be both a connoisseur and a lush.  The week's events include one-of-a-kind beer dinners, giving you the chance to enjoy beers alongside their brewers with top-notch food to match; and neighborhood crawls for those looking to discover some of the best of the city's bars and the regional beer selections that they feature.

Each night features events in Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Many area breweries are planning special events at bars throughout the week, concluding with the 2nd Annual Manhattan Cask Ale Festival at the Chelsea Brewing Company.
