For the past 10 years or so, Brooklyn Brewery has been supporting Transportation Alternatives in a variety of ways: monetarily, beer-ily, serving on their board-ily. If you don’t already know, Transportation Alternatives is New York City’s leading advocates for bicycling, walking, and public transit. On Tuesday, Nov 17th at 7pm, they’re kicking off their new campaign, Biking Rules, at BAM with a film program comprised of short narratives, animations, and documentaries that promote bicycling in New York City. The evening event will include prizes for jury-selected films and a special reception courtesy of us.
