Michael Jackson Beer & Whiskey Fest

To honor Michael Jackson—the late, great beer-and-whiskey writer, not the moonwalking pop star—local distillers and brewers will gather in Brooklyn to create suds-and-spirits pairings featuring the likes of Catskill Distilling Co., Kings County Distilling, Captain Lawrence and Ommegang. A portion of proceeds builds the Michael Jackson Scholarship for brewing and distilling education.
