The Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce held its third Business After Hours Networking Mixer of 2021 at Big aLICe Brewing on Wednesday, September 8. After the return of Business After Hours earlier in the summer from a nine month hiatus due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the event was attended by nearly 50 chamber staff and members, ambassadors, and guests.
During the event, guests had the opportunity to sample beers and take property tours while talking with Owner, Kyle Hurst and son, Conner Hurst, Operations Manager, and Taproom Manager, David Diehl. Located at 4180 off of NY-14, the Big aLICe team was excited to show off their renovated taproom, explain the true meaning behind their name, and share their overall vision for the future of their property in the heart of the Finger Lakes.
