The Pour | Week of 10/26 + Halloween
Craft Beer Releases and Brewery Events Around NYC
Cheers! I just returned from a wonderful work outing to Three’s Brewing and made stops at Wild East and Finback to pick up some brews. This week, we have a special section dedicated to the many Halloween happenings. Personally, I’ll be at Strong Rope’s party on Friday night to have my fortune read in beer foam. But there are plenty of amazing events to choose from.
Please share The Pour with your beer loving friends and brewery crew. Send feedback and tips to sideshowsips@gmail.com.
