From dog Halloween costume contests to newly released beers and ciders.

Last Halloween was on a Thursday with a ton of parties and events throughout Broward County. This year, you can stay out all night with no worry about work the next day. But of course, you have to worry about the pandemic.

That doesn’t mean you can’t still celebrate. Broward Beer put together a list of safe, socially-distant Halloween-themed events in the local beer and brewing industry.

Each requires a face mask aside from a Halloween mask…

1. Halloween dog costume contest at Gulfstream Brewing Co.
