We’re already there.

We are in beautiful Downtown Buffalo on this gorgeous summer Saturday afternoon. We will be fortunate enough to be sampling from a venerable all-star team of breweries, along with several of our closest friends.

We’ll be telling everyone we’re media, of course, because we are. We promise we won’t have a Dana Jacobsen moment in us.

Over 100 different beers will be available, along with foods from local restaurants. (Buffalo ranks as one of the Top 10 “Food Cities” in the country. Yeah, that list is coming soon.) All proceeds benefit the Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center.

Again, if you’re in the WNY area, feel free to stop by and culture yourselves, and break the Labatt-Molson duopoly. Seek us out. We’ll be the ones with the entourage.
