Fark Party
Host: jrshull
Description: NYC Fark Party final reminder, Tuesday July 7, 7pm - DIT
Date/Time: July 7, 2009 - Time TBD
Party Info: Join LineNoise and myself for Burp Castle's Strong Beer Festival.

Several selections on tap in the 10% plus range, with some other tasty beers in the normal range for the lightweights. They also have wine. No hard liquor. No crap beer like PBR/Bud/Coors. No kitchen, so no food per se, but there will be free charcuterie.

Expect to pay upwards of $10 per beer. And that's for a wine glass of beer, not a pint. Pints are reserved for the lower % stuff, and those start @ $6. Visa & MC accepted.

The place is small, seating is limited, so expect crowding. There is only one bartender, so be patient. If the crowd gets too loud, we will be shhhhhh-ed. (Bar policy for all patrons at all times.)
 
Location: Burp Castle
41 East 7th St. (between 2nd Ave & Cooper Square)
East Village Manhattan, NY
(212) 982-4576

$10 for beer? What kind of rip-off place is this?

*reads the whole post*

Oh. Manhattan. The land of $2500/month closets. Carry on, then.

I might be running a touch late tommorow, but should be there by 7:30 at the latest.

I'm looking forward to going to an NYC fark party soon... just can't make this one.

"The place is small, seating is limited, so expect crowding. There is only one bartender, so be patient. If the crowd gets too loud, we will be shhhhhh-ed. (Bar policy for all patrons at all times."

WTF? People, this is NEW YORK CITY. There are a ton of places that you can get reasonably priced good beer, be rowdy and have appetizers. For "drinking nights" with my buds, I'm fond of "Brass Monkey": www.brassmonkeynyc.com
Just an idea for next time. There are also a few great spots by City Hall downtown, but I forgot the name. Shoot me a message if you want me to hunt it down and give it to you.

Have fun!

We can slam Sparks+ and Steel Reserve in Cooper's Square. I'll bring a canteen.

yea any bar that reserves the right to shoosh its patrons is no bar of mine.

So go to them instead. This is clearly advertised as an event for Beer Snobs.

Is this place some kind of librarian bar or something?
 
2009-07-06 01:09:09 PM
I love the reeking smell of piss and decay in the morning
 
2009-07-06 01:10:05 PM
also thats a cool bar. I liked it. Have fun guys.

My mistake, and please don't get me wrong, I'm no wild and crazy lush looking to go nuts. I just don't generally associate places described like above as a great spot to socialize with people I've never met before. Have at it.

PumpUpDaFark: For real. He really meant to say 'reeks of piss and decaying garbage'.

I have to say, I just don't get all the hate. I've lived here for 6 years now, and I'm not going to say the place is perfect; I get tired of the noise and crowds sometimes. I'm just amazed at the intensity of some of the hate that's spewed, the number of people doing the spewing, and the tenuous grasp of reality that you all seem to have. Whatever, I'll continue to be happy here and leave the furious people to their furiousing.

I'd like to make it tomorrow; I'll be the new face if I can get out early enough from work.
 
2009-07-06 01:41:46 PM
This place sounds like douchebag central.
 
2009-07-06 01:45:56 PM
Way to show NYC's best face by picking... Burp Castle? With $10 beers. Good job. You could have picked a million other places in the E. Village alone.

Don't worry haters, there will be more Fark Parties at larger venues with cheap beer for you to complain about.

Drew hisownself may be in town later this month. I'll be sure to pick a big douchebag filled place with loud music, all the better for you to "Wooooooo!" and puke.

FSM forbid anyone would want to talk to and hear fellow Farkers.

(Burp castle serves high alcohol content Belgian craft beers. That ain't cheap. Yes, it is a Beer Snob place. They will shush you only if you are a loud wooing douchebag, not if you are talking.)

2009-07-06 02:11:52 PM
hmmmm maybe i will show up. ill buy a few famous tfer/tfette's a beer or two.
 
2009-07-06 02:39:48 PM
I'll have to see if I can make this. I enjoy strong beer. Have a reading at 7; we'll see how late it goes.

Also, if you need the FNY email password, let me know. We'd also been thinking originally of doing the next party with Drew @ Barcade. The games negate the schlep.

There are. This is not one of those places.

Yup.

As long as it is good for him. If it is a weekend I might make it out to Trustafarians-burg.

Fair enough, and I am a beer snob as well, but it isn't really a Fark "party", is it? It's more like a Fark "beer tasting". Not that there's anything wrong with that. Except that it's on a Tuesday.

jrshull:

Jay, it should be mentioned, happy hour is from 5pm-8pm. $1 off tap beers.

Currently on tap:
Frambozenbier
Saxo Tripel
Southern Tier Crème Brulee Imperial Milk Stout
Köstritzer Schwarzbier
Ommegang Hennepin
Piraat (Amber Triple IPA)
Poperings Hommel
Kwak
Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA
Corsendonk Brown Ale
Delirium Tremens

Whizbang's customary E. 7th St pub crawl:

1. Start at Brewski's. Hit on hot Ukrainian chick. Get rejected, leave frustrated.
2. Beat up bartender at Burp Castle next door, because HE IS DRESSED AS A FRIGGIN MONK.
3. Explain turkey wishbones at McSorley's to tourists from Historic Cleveland.

2009-07-06 03:56:50 PM
I'd rather go a few doors down the block to McSorley's
 
2009-07-06 04:28:12 PM
whizbang: Jay, it should be mentioned, happy hour is from 5pm-8pm. $1 off tap beers.

Sunday the sign in the bar, and the bartender said they won't open until 6pm. And I am not sure they will be having the "Happy Hour $1 off" because it is an official event that they are having and LineNoise and I thought we would post.

They will be purposefully changing unkicked kegs to put on the super-high-octane stuff.

Frank Anthrax: but it isn't really a Fark "party", is it? It's more like a Fark "beer tasting".

You obviously have never been to any of our parties, especially those @ Burp Castle.

henryhill: I'd rather go a few doors down the block to McSorley's

That place is only good on Thursday at lunch. Any time after 3:30pm and all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday it is a douche and touron filled cesspool. Have fun partying a few doors down, all by yourself though. Maybe someone will liveblog it and you can follow our fun from your laptop. It will be almost like you left you parent's basement.

I always wondered what kind of dick comes into a party thread to shiat all over everything about it. Thanks for showing me!

Burp Castle is a cool place and is in my 'hood, so I may stop in...then go down to Mars Bar for $6 triple shots.
 
2009-07-06 09:14:53 PM
cheesewheel: then go down to Mars Bar for $6 triple shots.

Depending on what happens, we might bar crawl it down with you. Not unheard of with the typical crew of misfits and ne'er-do-wells we get.

$10 a beer sounds like a party for 'foofweights'.
I'll be performing an unplugged set at Corio on the NE corner of W.B'way & Grand at 11p. No cover, crazy cheap drink specials for everone and; oh yea, smoke em if ya got em!
BTW: it's our singers birthday and we'd love to see him stumble home! :)
Peace!

I was planning on going to this tonight because the beer sounds interesting, but having sprained my foot (I'm on crutches) last weekend after falling down some deck stairs at a party, I'm barely making it from my office in Midtown to Penn Station.
/too much cheap wine at the party
//Enjoy! and I'll try to make the next one

Quitter! just tape it up and get out there & play ball !

If you change your mind and decide not to puppy out, you won't be the only one there on crutches.

Consider yourself challenged to a crutch duel.

If you decide to wimp instead of gimp, you will be mocked.

Have fun farkers, I hope to catch the next meeting!
cheers jsrhull!
 
2009-07-07 07:04:51 PM
well, next time
 
2009-07-07 07:21:45 PM
We are here and drinking on the patio!
