It’s the season of spooky good spirits, ghosts that say “booze”, and witches brews. And now you can franken-stein your Oktoberfest all the way into a Thanksgiving gobble-t-fest thanks to the Laurel Highlands Pour Tour happening now thru November 30th.
The “Boos & Brews” seasonal micro tour is a monster mash-up of 40+ breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, and meaderies all participating in a self-guided boos-ey trail.

To participate just download the free Laurel Highlands Pour Tour app (available on Google Play and Apple), check in at 18 of the participating locations by November 30th, and you’ll be mailed an exclusive “Boos & Brews” long-sleeved t-shirt. (It’s a great way to get a to-die-for shirt without having to run a 5K.) The app also has a map to help you find participating sites and allows you to create your own Pour Tour itinerary.

As you trick-or-treat yo’self to the Pour Tour be sure to take some time to talk to the brewers and distillers, too. They’re no doubt dying to tell you all about their devilish-ous drinks — and, you never know, you may even find yourself a new favorite haunt.
