Words by Lauren Khalfayan

If you’re a vinyl and craft beer lover who needs to escape their apartment (or their holiday plans, or…reality?) this season, BierWax is probably the perfect place for you. With a collection that boasts over 4,000 records (insane), they have everything you could want in terms of great music and a drink selection that’s just as thoughtfully curated. And while we can’t experience music live and in person at the moment, they are continuing to host a variety of DJs which definitely helps to lessen the blow. Chris Maestro, the founder and principle owner of BierWax, took us through some of his favorite finds in his collection and background on how BierWax came to be. Check out the video below and be sure to give them a visit sometime soon (safely). You can also order online so it’s almost like having your own beer curator on your phone? Amazing.
