Brattle Starts Serving Beer Today

The Brattle Theatre finally has its beer and wine license from the City of Cambridge, and it will start selling beer today. The new beer menu continues the theater's tradition of selling only independently made beverages. The menu includes Cambridge Brewing Company's Hefeweizen and Cambridge Amber Ale, both Bostonist-approved. The Brattle will celebrate its new found freedom-to-booze with a special screening, and you get to choose the movie for the event. We'll put aside our natural antipathy toward Canada and endorse Strange Brew, with the caveat that we'd actually rather re-watch Shaun of the Dead with a beer in hand.
