Do good by drinking beer

the-quays-2This Saturday is the official start of summer, and you can kick off the season with Astoria’s Tour de Bar. The event will promote the bar scene in Astoria, all while raising money for the Childhood Cancer Society.

Over 20 bars are participating in the event, offering drink and food specials. Most locations will serve up $3 Blue Point beers.

The bar crawl begins at Katch Astoria (31-19 Newtown Ave.) at noon, where attendees can pick up their wristbands and complimentary backpack and visor.

Unlike traditional bar crawls, however, there will be no set route for participants. Bar-goers can head to any of the 21 bars in any order they would like. Along the way, they will get free gear (think sunglasses, beer coozies, the works).

The day will be full of awesome local bars, including Astoria Brewhouse, Quays, Blackbird’s, Ovelia and William Hallet.

Bar-goes can look forward to things like free barbecue at Rocky McBride’s and the first public tasting of Astoria Distilling Company’s new Queens Courage New York Old Tom Gin at the bar Bourbon and Vine (36-05 30th Ave.)

Tickets can be purchased online for $30, or for $40 day-of. Proceeds will go to Childhood Cancer Society, which provides support for families with children who are battling cancer.
