The Great Escape: Craft Beer and Music in Cooperstown Friday

Take a trip upstate this weekend to enjoy a benefit concert at Cooperstown's Ommegang Brewery featuring the former drummer for The Band.

If you appreciate craft microbreweries, sip an Ommegang. If you appreciate classic rock, jam to tunes by Levon Helm.

This Friday, have a little of both as Cooperstown’s Ommegang Brewery presents the Levon Helm Band and Arlo Guthrie Play Live: Benefit Concert to Fight Fracking.

And if the combination of homemade Belgian-style beer and meeting former drummer and vocalist of The Band isn’t enough of a sell, rest easy knowing you’ll be helping a cause: by helping fight the war on hydraulic fracturing in upstate New York.
