Artsy's Craft Report features our own Squigs, giving you the 411 on the upcoming Queens Beer Week:
Hello from NYC and specifically the borough of Queens! The beer scene is booming in this borough and there's a celebration in the works: the inaugural Queens Beer Week! Hit play for all the deets from myself and Dan Bronson. It's gonna be good y'all!
In 2005, in a rather desolate block of Astoria, the doors opened to a friendly, homey beer bar that nailed down a corner of the neighborhood, and some say, paved the way for a renaissance in this part of NYC that now includes 5 Napkin Burger and a cluster of new fancy bars and restaurants. But these guys were there first.
The Guys are shooting here today for an upcoming episode. Seemingly overnight, this section of Queens has turned into The Hotness, with the newly renovated Museum of the Moving Image, a 5 Napkin Burger restaurant, and this Funky Cool Craft Beer bar to name just a few. Wha ha happen? The Happy Hour Guys are on The case!
