Brooklyn Brewery is proud to return as the official beer sponsor of one of New York City’s most shining cultural beacons, BAMcinemaFest. Our relationship with Brooklyn Academy of Music is a long one, but it can be tracked back to just one thing: our own love of movies, music, and literature, and our desire to enjoy those things with a beer in hand. What goes better with a Brooklyn 1/2 Ale then a poignant biopic, right?
So without further ado, we present the cinemaFest schedule, annotated with all the Brewery Brewery love you can expect from a bunch of nerds. Tickets are still available but selling fast. Gets yours here.
