Mayor Bloomberg Pours a Sugar Hill Beer in Harlem
Mayor Bloomberg gave Harlem Brewing Company’s Sugar Hill Golden
Ale one of its biggest endorsements yet.
During a celebration of American History for their Annual Black History Month reception at Gracie Mansion, Mayor Bloomberg requested to taste Sugar Hill and proceeded to pour it himself. After tasting Sugar Hill, he commented that it was “a very good beer” and “please tell people I said so.” Wow, now that’s a picture that sells a billion beers.
Harlem Brewing Company was the official beer sponsor for the evening. New
Yorkers throughout the city including former Mayor Dinkins, Tuskegee Airmen, Dennis Walcott, Cathy Black and other city officials joined Bloomberg to honor local heroes.
