Area Activity Guide: Rochester Real Beer Week
June 2016
Real, Delicious Beer
Craft brewing has seen explosive growth in Upstate New York, and the world is taking notice. Beer lovers who struggled to find a micro-brew just a few years ago are now confronted with an endless array of choices at beer-centric hot spots like Tap & Mallet and Stout. Rochester Real Beer Week is a celebration of brewers, brewing, and breweries from Upstate New York and around the world. If you like beer, the city is about to become your playground for this 10-day-long extravaganza.
Rochester Real Beer Expo
The Rochester Real Beer Expo is the not-to-be-missed crowning event of Real Beer Week. More than just a beer tasting, the Expo is a street party that brings together local musicians, food vendors, and more than 100 unique craft brews. Be sure to purchase tickets in advance, as the 2016 Real Beer Expo is sure to sell out!
