The Pour | Week of 10/19
Craft Beer Releases and Brewery Events Around NYC
Cheers! There’s so much going down this weekend. I’m super bummed I’ll be out of town, but I’ll catch up with the spooky brews on Halloween. Speaking of, look for a Halloween edition of The Pour next week and choose your parties wisely (I’ll be at Strong Rope’s because it’s circus themed). Enjoy!
Please share The Pour with your beer loving friends and brewery crew. Send feedback and tips to sideshowsips@gmail.com.
