"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 (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3322666-1&h=846857310&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patinagroup.com%2Fstate-grill-and-bar&a=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.

"We are proud to join forces with the Empire State Building to celebrate

Oktoberfest in the heart of New York City," said Sean Valenti, spokesperson for

Bronx Brewery. "Our work revolves around community, creativity, and

inclusivity, which are all things that come to mind when we think of the Empire

State Building."

Guests are encouraged to sip their beverages on the iconic 86th Floor

Observatory and tag photos with #PopUpTop for the chance to be featured on ESB

social channels. Future monthly pop-ups at the Empire State Building

Observatory will be announced separately.
