Craft Beer Tasting Returns to Springfield Avenue Maplewood on October 17, 2019

Maplewood, NJ. –  Sip suds under the stars with friends while you support public art at the Springfield Avenue Maplewood (SAM) Craft Beer Tasting. In its third year, the event will feature numerous craft beers, local restaurants, and music. It will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2019 from 7-10 p.m. in the parking lot of the Wine Barrel Maplewood, 1886 Springfield Avenue, Maplewood, NJ.

During this year’s event attendees will be able to sample many craft beers, including featured selections from some of the Garden State’s favorite breweries SOMA Brewing Co., Four City Brewing Company, Brix City Brewing and Icarus Brewing.
