SLOW U: REALLY Local Beer

Sample the next frontier of local beer at this talk and tasting, with Tundra Brewery proprietor Mark VanGlad, who makes suds entirely from in-state ingredients. Sip the Greenmarket star's maple-infused pale ale—featuring hops, barley and syrup produced just 156 miles from Manhattan—while snacking on locavore nibbles like Martin's pretzels and Cato Corner Farm cheese. Proceeds from the event benefit Slow Food NYC initiatives like Urban Harvest, which develops food-education programs for children.
