One Night for Okó

Kick off the weekend as we celebrate the Limited Release of Okó! For ONE NIGHT ONLY we will be at Metrobar pouring our latest beer collab. Pair a cold glass with sounds from our very own DJ Easy, spinning Afrobeats and Dancehall to wash away the weekday worries.

This beer is a collaboration between DC based Sankofa Beer Company and Brooklyn Based, Brooklyn Brewery.
