Schumer Bets On Big Blue @ The BB

In a beer-and-sports related wager entirely unrelated to our bets with Anchor and Harpoon, NY State Senator Charles E. Schumer swung by Brewers Row this morning to don a Manning jersey and boast his local beer.

Chuck has a Super Bowl bet going with the senators from Massachusetts where the “loser” will provide all the other senators a six-pack of beer from the winner’s state.

UPDATE // JAN 31 The Hill reports: According to Schumer’s office, if the Giants beat the Patriots, Shaheen will purchase beer from six of New York’s craft brew companies from around the state, including New York’s Brooklyn Brewery, Blue Point Brewing Company, Saranac Matt Brewing Company, Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, Ithaca Beer Company, and Brown’s Brewing Company. Schumer plans to supply beer from New Hampshire’s Smuttynose Brewery to the entire Senate if he loses the bet. 

“I can’t wait for Senator Shaheen to participate in the ‘I Love New York Brew’ Campaign by buying the best craft brews in New York and supplying them to every member of the United States Senate,” Schumer said in a statement released by his office. “When Big Blue brings Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to their knees, the entire U.S. Senate will understand why we love New York brew. Go Giants!”

ONE SHINING MOMENT

Today’s edition of 7 Minutes In Heaven is good. It features SNL’s head writer Seth Myers and contains the series’ usual ingredients of charm, awkwardness, sillyness and a smidge of honesty. It also features ONE SHINING MOMENT. Can you guess what it is?

NORTHSIDE FESTIVAL HAS IDEAS

And they’re being hatched here at The Brewery. Now in it’s 4th year (is that true?) the music and arts festival is starting a new wing called Ideas At Northside.

From TheLMagazine.com

As with every component of Northside, we’re aiming to showcase the most exciting, most creative endeavors being developed in Brooklyn — which isn’t just limited to art, it turns out. For every band or artist creating a new work, there seems to be an entrepreneur building a new business. Whether a “Creator” (band, artist) or an “Innovator” (developer, entrepreneur), the goal is the same: take an idea, turn it in to a brand, develop a community, and engage with your community.

New to Northside this year, the Ideas Festival will feature panels throughout Thursday and Sunday afternoon geared toward the “Creators” and “Innovators” defining what’s next in their social space and how the two groups intersect in doing so. Tickets are available for Northside Ideas at Ticketfly.
