Beer and whiskey lovers came from Southern Connecticut and New York to enjoy fine local food, craft beer, whiskey and other spirit samples. Event goers participated in boardwalk games and danced to NYC street band, The Secret Recipe (Receta Secreta).
MC for the night, DJ Robbie from Reps 4 Vets kept the energy up throughout the night. Even the Mayor of Stamford, David Martin stated, “This is great. I’m just here to have a good time.”
