Destination Dutchess introduced Commander in Cheers, a collaboration with four local breweries—Mill House Brewing Company, King’s Court Brewing Company, Zeus Brewing Company, and CIA’s brewery—to spotlight Dutchess County’s Revolutionary War history ahead of America’s 250th. At the October 27 launch event (American Beer Day), CIA Head Brewer Hutch Kugeman joined local partners as CIA’s Mise en Place Wit (orange peel, coriander) debuted alongside collectible beers with augmented-reality coasters featuring “Tiny George” Washington.
