Hey, that's awesome! Thanks :) Lots of beer festivals happening in NY and all over the tristate this October. I'll post events and in advance and see if anyone is interested.

Sept. 19 sounds like a good day for craft beer, especially since all the pumpkin ales are coming out! oh my pumpkins.. how I have missed you...

Are u attending GABF? I was just thinking.. wouldn't it be great if we had our own Oktoberfest here in lower NY?? certainly plenty of venues, and budding breweries here and there (Capt. Lawrence is located in westchester!) Also found out that BeerMenus relocated their office here in Westchester. I think it would have a lot of supporters :)

.. You work at Heartland?? By empire state?? LOVE that place. Saw the room downstairs, I actually took a business card and hoped that it would be a venue for my engagement party someday :)

But I knowww.. there will always be plenty of occasions to have beer gatherings all over NY (I'm trying to keep track of the ones in Westchester). But we need a giant one.. like a "Comic-Con" of Beers in NY :). Know what I mean?

Oh wait.. you work NEAR heartland, just re-read your post. Sorry for the misunderstanding :). Still, I love that place.
