ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Wegmans will exercise its recently affirmed right to serve beer in the Market Cafe restaurants of its Pennsylvania locations this Saturday, when it hosts beer and food pairing events.
Representatives from regional breweries and Wegmans culinary experts will be on hand to distribute beer samples and complementary food items from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in its 12 Pennsylvania Market Cafes. The events are free.
