Who doesn't like craft beer? We certainly do, and if the crowds at the sold-out Brooklyn Pour last fall were any indication, so do many of you. And so we'd be remiss not to mention that the inaugural NYC Craft Beer Festival (not to be confused with this or this) is just around the corner!
Featuring 75 American craft breweries pouring two of their favorite brews each in the Lexington Armory, the March 3 event should be a hoppin' one (get it?). The final list of breweries has yet to be officially announced but we're told it will not disappoint. Oh, and in case you were worried that all that beer will go right to your head, don't. There will be food, too. Think oyster bars, pulled pork sandwiches, grilled bratwursts, and Frito pies. Also, seminars. But you probably don't want to eat those.
The whole thing is split into two sessions (1:30-4 p.m. and 7-9:30 p.m.) with advance tickets going for $55 (they'll be $65 at the door). Want more time to drink? VIP tickets, which include an extra hour of tastings, are $75 in advance and $85 at the door. In our experience with these sorts of things, the extra time without the crowds is totally worth the money. You can get your tickets here.
