The craft beer festival of the season is back and bigger than ever! 

Join us at New York Kitchen on Saturday, June 1st from 12PM-3PM for the biggest and best craft beer event to kick off the 2019 Summer season.  Enjoy unlimited samplings of craft beers and ciders from your favorite New York State brewers while you enjoy live music by Banned from the Tavern and Dos Locos.  You'll also get access to some of the best BBQ food in the area - Marty's Meats and the NYK Food Truck will be available to purchase from.  On top of getting to interact with the breweries, we've also invited Hops, Malt/Barley and Brewery partners to answer your craft beverage questions.  All kinds of NYS breweries will be there from microbreweries to farm breweries and more!

Don't forget - festival goers get the chance to vote for the People's Choice Best Display & Best Consumer Experience Awards - in 2018 OSB Ciderworks won for People's Choice Best Consumer Experience with their "Cider Pong" and Reinvention Brewing won the People's Choice Best Display with their Americana themed setup.  They'll be back to defend their titles and from the sounds of it, they're bringing it!
