Beer o’clock

2014-12-16 03:27:45

This one is for all you beer lovers out there. Just because the days of college keg stands and dorm-room boozing are over doesn’t mean you have to leave your party hats for the ghost of Facebook photos past. We spoke to beer-penure Patrick Schmidt about NYC haunts (The New York Beer Company, The House of Brews, Oliver’s Astoria) and why they are a destination on the NYC night time circuit…and day time circuit for that matter, because when it comes to these beer fun palaces it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!
