Brooklyn Brewery is taking a bit of the New York City borough with the most street cred on the road. What in hell does that mean, and how, exactly, do you bring Brooklyn to Miami, anyway?
By delivering the best of Brooklyn's art, music, parties, culture, and (of course) beer to the Magic City. The Brooklyn Brewery Mash stops in Miami December 9 through 15. The 305 is the last location on an 11-city tour that benefits Slow Food USA.
Because it's the Brooklyn Brewery Mash, beer is prominently featured, including some rare Brooklyn Brewery beers not usually seen outside New York. You can also expect some awesome light shows and projection art courtesy of NBNY, the organizers of Brooklyn's Bring to Light Festival.
There's a packed roster of events, some free, some with price tags. Here's the entire week's worth of beer-flavored goodness:
