The Pour | Week of 1/4
Craft Beer Releases and Brewery Events Around NYC
Cheers and Happy New Year! I hope you’ve had a great start to 2023. I celebrated at Fifth Hammer with friends and had an absolute blast enjoying beers and a toast/jam bar that was brilliant! When the golden firkin dropped, I made a resolution to visit ALL the NYC breweries this year (sounds easy, but I tend to stick to my faves).
As everyone is recovering and resetting for the new year, it’s a bit quiet this week. If you’re doing Dry Jan, I’m cheering you on!
