Last week we shared the story about the Fussfungle, a popular Prohibition-era cocktail that was born in McKeesport. This week we are giving you a chance to try the Fussfungle for yourself. Join us Thursday in the Strip District for a prohibition-themed event.
Prohibition Pop-Up @ East End Brewing
Thursday, April 11, from 6 pm to 8 pm
Just $9 gets you a sample of the Fussfungle, a flight of beers (that’s three 6 oz. pours) and a hand pie from Prohibition Pastries. That’s a cost so low, it’s almost illegal.
