Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s Fall Fête and made it such a success! Angelic cocktails and Vassar Devils, heavenly fortunes and tempting raffles, and of course late-night karaoke. 140 Brewers from across our New York community discovered their inner angels and devils and made it the best Fête yet. Stick those photo booth printouts on your fridge!
