Bike Brooklyn Beer Blitz!

Bike Brooklyn Beer Blitz!

Sunday, May 20, 2012 - 12:00pm to 4:00pm


 

A 4 hour bicycle tour of Williamsburgh, East Williamsburgh and Bushwick and the former brewery buildings of the most densely packed brewing neighborhoods in America, circa 1890!

See historical photographs of various brewery buildings when they were built, between the 1880s and 1920s, compare them with vintage 1970s photos (in the heart of Bushwick's deep dark arson-and-gangs era) and observe them as they stand today, re-purposed but obviously the same brewery buildings. German Churches, banks and social halls will also be observed. 

 The tour will end at Evergreen Cemetery on the Brooklyn/Queens border, where many of the Brewers are buried . . . with a surprise!
 
A historical, educational, beer-drinkable adventure! BYOBike and helmet. 

Please buy tickets in advance as this is a popular tour that often sells out.
