It doesn't matter what the weather is like this weekend, America On Tap is coming to Vernon Downs, period! This is your chance to spend some quality time with old friends, and family, sampling some great craft beer and playing horseshoes. Then you can stay for the races.

You've enjoyed Squirrel Murphy at Townsquare Media Events like The Guy's Expo and Utica's Brews and BBQ. Now you get to enjoy them while sampling craft brews at America On Tap at Vernon Downs.

One of the best aspects of the craft beer industry is the continuous flow of new seasonal products. One local brewery that is particularly good at this is the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, NY. They are one of Men's Health Magazine's "Best Beers for Fall," and will be featured at America On Tap coming to Vernon Downs.

The latest episode of "Munchies with Matt" takes Matt to Vernon Downs Casino and Hotel where he had a chance to chow down at Champions Buffet.
