With this heat, does your workout consist of sitting in front of the tv and watching the riders in the Tour de France sweat for you? Then you deserve a cold beer! And why not make it a French beer?
When: Thursday, 18 July, 6-10 pm
Where: Brouwerij Lane, 78 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn
Join Jim "Bocky" Barnes for another one of his installments of Soirées Disco. Starting at 6pm, he'll be spinning his selection of cosmic French disco and Brouwerij Lane will be pouring 4 French beers on draft.
Les bières:
- Ch'ti Blonde - a traditional bière de garde from the family-run Castelain brewery
- Ch'ti Triple - not a Belgian-style tripel but rather a stronger, maltier bière de garde
- Mont Blanc La Blonde - brewed with water from the Mont Blanc glacier, this blonde ale is delicately spiced with coriander and liquorice. Sorry, cold glacial water not available by the bucket
- Thiriez Blonde - earthy, hoppy farmhouse ale from the tiny Thiriez brewery in the north of France

Where: The Cannibal, 113 E. 29th Street
Les bières:
