Saturday’s event will be the first of six events for Beer Week, which will go until March 1. This city-wide soiree of tastings has been held annually in New York City for six years.
The organization in charge of the week, The New York City Brewer’s Guild, is a nonprofit organization that aims to further the brewing industry and “thereby lessen human misery.” By holding the event, the organization wishes to spread awareness about local beers.
The Altman building is located at 135 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011. For a full list of the participating brewers and to purchase tickets, go to the company’s website.
