Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - 3:30pm

JW Overbey are having a special event Wednesday 5/14 @ 3:30 to 7:30 to mark the soft release of their new bourbon. It will be a rare chance to taste their bourbon and see inside the Pfizer building at their Bed Stuy distillery.

How to arrive:

The closest subway lines are the G and M trains. Flushing Ave stop for both.
If coming by car, there is parking in the rear of the building. The guard will ask for your id, license plate number and phone number. This is standard procedure here.

Where to arrive:

The address is 630 Flushing Ave, however you must enter though the rear parking lot, which is located on Tompkins Ave (btw Flushing Ave and Ellery Street). This is the old Pfizer factory. It’s gigantic and spans the entire block, you can’t miss it.
Proceed to the main entrance. Down the sidewalk, under the awning, by the bike rack.

Inside is a small lobby, please let the guard know that you’re there for the distillery tour. There will be a sign posted and a place to wait.

One of the guides will be along shortly to lead you up to the distillery.

Please do not try to come into the building without a guide. It’s easy to get lost and security may kick you out.
If coming by bike, please leave your ride on the bike rack outside. It’s very safe to do so. Bikes are not allowed inside the building by security.

You must be 21 and older, please be sure to have your photo ID handy.

This event is free
