2nd Annual WHERE THE WILD BEERS ARE – Brooklyn

We’ll, as usual, have many special offerings at both events. All left over beer from last year’s event has been cellared and will be brought back to share this year. In addition we have personally spent many dollars to obtain even more interesting beer to share.
