Hook & Ladder Brewing Company is finally coming to NYC, making its grand debut at the Brewtopia Festival (running October 31 and November 1st). The beer was created by a firefighter and donates a portion of its sales to the burn foundation; the New York Firefighters Burn Center Foundation will receive $4 from each barrel and 25 cents from each case of Hook & Ladder beers sold. Founder Rich Fleischer, a long time volunteer firefighter, says "I'm eager to bring that passion to New York City where there is such a dedicated firefighter community, and get involved with the local heroes."
