Virtual Happy Hour Archive
Meet the people making the beer you love.
The New York State Brewers Association started #thinkNYdrinkNY Virtual Happy Hour as a way for the beer community to stay connected and socialize during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Each night at 6:30pm a different NYS brewer hosts happy hour via Facebook Live. Enthusiasts can ask the brewer questions, play virtual games, and converse with eachother through real-time commenting.
