The Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 30-Year Vertical Tasting Journey will be held Saturday, Nov. 14 at Carey's Brew House on Bridge Street in Corning, to raise money for the Bampa's House. Joe Carey, owner of Carey's Brew House and a longtime member of the Bampa's House Board of Directors, said the Art of Beer & Food, a multi-course experience, will begin at 4 p.m. Saturday at Carey's Brew House. "It will feature 30 years of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout beer collection," Carey said. "You will never find another tasting like this of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout except if you were at the Brooklyn brewery."

"Carey is a cornerstone of the people in the community that help build Bampa's," said Steve Ritter, President of Bampa's House.
