PrintWeekend Giveaway: 'Good Beer at BAM' Tickets
Everyone should be drinking more beer this month. The mayor said so! In honor of July being "Good Beer Month," Edible Brooklyn is curating Good Beer at BAM, an event featuring suds from a dozen nearby breweries including Brooklyn Brewery, Sixpoint Craft Ales, Southampton Publick House, Allagash, Ommegang, Kelso of Brooklyn, Keeghan Ales and Sly Fox. Of course, there will also be beer-absorbing fare from Gramercy Tavern, Co., Porchetta, Sullivan Street Bakery, Schnitzel and Things, Bent Spoon, and many others. We have two pairs of tickets to share with all you fermented hops-appreciating Serious Eaters. To enter, just tell us your favorite microbrew.
The event is on Wednesday, July 29, from 4 to 8 p.m. at BAM Café. If you don't win, you can still order tickets here. Or just crack open a beer and celebrate on your couch.
Comments here will close at 3 p.m. ET on Monday, July 27. One entry per community member. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

even though many portland beer snobs consider it an overflavored mess, the beer i miss most from my time in oregon is mcmenamins hammerhead. there are definitely times i would pay too much to have a bottle in my fridge.

My favorite is Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus Brewery. Sadly though, I don't get to have it often.

does bluepoint toasted count as a microbrew? well, that's my fave.

Now that I've moved to New York, I miss Lazy Magnolia's Indian Summer seasonal brew out of Mississippi.

if blue points count as microbrews, their blueberry beer is pretty awesome.

I know it's the summer, but Goose Island Bourbon Stout.
Jewbacchus at 10:39AM on 07/26/09
Dogfishead 90 Minute IPA. Yummm. It might be nearly 400 calories a beer, but it is delicious.
Knishycous at 11:27AM on 07/26/09
i second the dogfish head! yummm.
tinypig at 12:17PM on 07/26/09
Ommegang, cave aged

Stating a "favorite microbrew" is nearly impossible, there is just so much great beer being brewed. But a contest is a contest and I'd love to attend the event at BAM so I'll supply a recent, and regional, beer that really impressed me: Ommegang Rouge. A terrific sour -- acidic, yet full of flavor, tart with a surprisingly balanced malt finish. A gem for sure.

Founders Breakfast Stout. DeeeIicious!
Lisabeth at 2:14PM on 07/26/09
Cane & Ebel from Two Brothers. Although a close second is the Green Flash IPA.

Favorite brewery hands down goes to Rogue in Oregon. Favorite single beer comes from Left Hand - their milk stout. They're out of Colorado.
formz at 8:58AM on 07/27/09
I would have to say that Sixpoint Sweet-Action is one of the best locally crafted beers, hands down. It's got magnificent balance and a great hoppy flavor. It's a beer you can drink with food, by itself and either in Winter or Summer. I don't know what else you could want from a beer.

Love Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat in the summer!
rkeenan at 11:14AM on 07/27/09
Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Hands down. I've been an instructer of beer and pairing classes and I can't find a better beer that works great with a varitey of spicy foods, cheeses and fruity desserts or to just drink on its own...for endless hours. Larry Bell is a genius. Also, I just love the perfectly kitschy (& fishy) label.
jesusluvstits at 11:22AM on 07/27/09
Agree with Bell's, but Oberon.

Magic Hat Odd Notion Summer Ale w/ citrus, sour apple and grapefruit! Yummm summery.
juleslov at 12:41PM on 07/27/09
This is a difficult choice... A new discovery that I love is Dogfish Head Midas Touch. I had it when I was down in NC so I don't even know if it's around here?
ncsuemme at 12:42PM on 07/27/09
Weyerbacher Raspberry Imperial Stout. Awesome brew.
LttlMichey at 12:49PM on 07/27/09
Allagash Odyssey may be as good a Belgian beer as can get made in these United States.

vchung6 at 12:58PM on 07/27/09
I'm a fan of Triumph in Princeton!
moystuff at 1:04PM on 07/27/09
Allagash Odyssey is as close to Belgian beer as we can get in these United States.
sloppyjoe at 1:06PM on 07/27/09
Ithaca Apricot Wheat.
elguiige at 1:15PM on 07/27/09
I know this is a new one, but its hard to find, and its become one of my new favorites- especially for the summertime - 21st Amendment - Hell or High Watermelon Wheat. Sooo good, with just a hint of watermelon-y goodness!
Kiques at 1:19PM on 07/27/09
New Belgium outta Ft. Collins, CO!

six point sweet action
sakurastar at 1:56PM on 07/27/09
So many great ones mentioned, but I think Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA will always get my attention.
cheflaura at 2:00PM on 07/27/09
Ohh, I second the Ithaca Apricot Wheat, although Sixpoint Sweet Action gets my vote for most drinkable.
lamenteuse at 2:06PM on 07/27/09

I love Hoegardden
kneary426 at 2:26PM on 07/27/09
I love the Nørrebro Bryghus King's County Brown Ale, a Danish beer inspired by Brooklyn's Nut Brown Ale. (It's better than the original.)
I'm also very partial to Bell's Oberon - a hearty summer ale.
