The George A. Romero Foundation is Teaming up with Abjuration Brewing for a special Beer Release.
G.A.R.F contemplated the ingredients that would evoke nostalgia for old school amusement parks reminiscent of West View Park and give us a suitably sanguinary offering for fans of George to imbibe. The result of this wild brainstorming session was a strawberry funnel cake sour.

About the film:
Filmed in 1975 at the iconic West View Park, The Amusement Park was considered lost until a 16 mm version was uncovered and restored in 2019 in collaboration with IndieCollect. Although not a true horror film, The Amusement Park has been branded by many as George’s most terrifying film.
-Review- “I can’t remember the last time a film shook me like this,” recounted Chris Evangelista of Slash Film.
