"We continue the 90th Anniversary celebration of the World's Most Famous Building this fall in partnership with local favorite Bronx Brewery," said Jean-Yves Ghazi,president of the Empire State Building Observatory. "With the implementation of our industry-leading indoor environmental quality,our guests can enjoy our new reimagined,immersive digital and tactile exhibits with confidence before they relax with an evening drink and the most spectacular 360-degree,open-air views that New York City can offer."

The award-winning craft brewery from the Bronx's Port Morris neighborhood will sell four select beers – their American Pale Ale,World Gone Hazy IPA,Smile My Guy IPA,and Das Bronx Oktoberfest – from a special 90th Anniversary cart on the building's 86th floor. The Empire State Building's own STATE Grill and Bar will offer $10 mini NY-style cheesecakes alongside the brewer's selections. Bronx Brewery is the second vendor in the building's Observatory pop-up program after a successful August run with My Cookie Dealer.
