The leaves are starting to fall, bulk-sized candy bags are popping up + you’ve probably ordered more pumpkin spice lattes than you’d like to admit. That can only mean one thing — October is coming — and it’s bringing all things that go bump in the night.

Night of Frights

Grab a cold beer + get ready for some spine-chilling scenes. The big screen at Burl Brew will be showing scream-worthy Halloween classics every Tuesday in October at 8 p.m.
