From Us:  To celebrate All Hallows Eve Erik and Dusty are joined by Halloween lover extraordinaire (and good friend of Eli) – Renee Carrasco!  As you can tell by the set (located in Renee’s basement of horrors), she likes her some spooky!   And what better beer to drink in the scariest time of year than with a Freaktoberfest from the wild and wacky gang at Shmaltz Brewing’s Coney Island division of the brewerly insane!  Moooahahaha!
