BrewView Star Wars Home Edition
By Christopher Mitchell and Brandilyn Brown
May the Fourth be with you! This month we highly recommend conducting your own Star Wars marathon, and heck, you even have the time to watch the director’s cut versions. We created some tasty themed drinks for you to enjoy during your trip down memory lane.
If you are missing any ingredients, your local BevMo is hosting both pickup and delivery. If you’re feelin’ adventurous, there are many local restaurants offering cocktail pickup. (At time of print, Kimoto Sake & Sushi, Divine Swine, Fuzio Universal Bistro, Gervasoni’s, and Rivet’s American Grill were serving drinks to-go.)
