Coming to the The Blue Monk is a beer tour unlike no other, and Buffalo is joining the ranks of select cities that will be featuring a battle of East Coast and West Coast breweries.
The event is not just for beer lovers, it’s also designed to attract fans of punk music. “There has been an East Coast vs. West Coast Beer and Punk event tour in the New York City area the last two years,” said Ryan Bedford, Bar/Craft Beer Manager at The Blue Monk. “This year they’ve decided to expand their tour to include dates in Upstate. Blue Monk will be hosting the tour on Wednesday, March 20th. The event consists of eight American breweries, four from each coast and a punk rock soundtrack to match. This is the first time since we’ve opened that we’ll be turning all 32 taps over to 100% American craft beer. And the first time that night’s sound system will be playing nothing but punk. Representatives from all eight breweries will also be present. This is a unique event and a first time for Buffalo.”
