New York, NY — Thursday, August 27, 2015 — The New York City Brewers Guild once again takes it to the streets with more than a dozen of NYC’s Guild breweries hosting their annual fundraiser to raise money for NYC Beer Week 2016. Occurring at Sanders Studios on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2015, "Blocktoberfest" takes place within the 15,000 square feet studio located at 525 Waverly Avenue in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene/Clinton Hill neighborhood.

Along the way, the Urban Oyster Tour Guide will educate attendees on local craft beverages (beer, wine, spirits), the history of each, current trends, where to find the best-of-the-best in NYC, and how to appreciate each like an expert.
