2 Beer Festivals weekend of Oct. 26, 2007
You have your choice; one is in NYC and the other Boston. One focuses on Belgian Brews and the other there’s now restriction to flavor, malt or style. Both claim over 100 brews to sample and are both around the same cost.
Brewtopia: the Great World Beer Festival (GWBF)! on Oct 26th and 27th. In it’s 5th year and new location on Pier 92 off the Hudson (last year it was at Javits Center), this is your shot at attempting to sample more than 100 brewers from around the world gathered to let you taste the fruits of their labor. There are three 4 hour sessions for about $50 each; one on Friday the 26th and 2 on Saturday the 27th.
What do you get when you mix 150+ Belgian beers with guest speakers, brewers, passionate attendees, kick-ass food, and waffles, on the same day? … The Return of the Belgian Beer Fest! Located at the Boston Center For The Arts, there are 3 sessions, one on Friday and 2 on Sat, however, the Friday session is highlighted as a Night of the Funk, which hosts some funk bands while you sample. Currently the tickets are $60 for Friday and $45 for Sat.
