The seventh annual Brewer’s Invitational will take place at the NYBP Beer Lodge in Orchard Park on Feb. 28 (2-5 pm). Tickets are $50 and include a commemorative tasting glass, a $5 food voucher, and access to over 50 brews from 30 local breweries, cideries and meaderies.
Event organizers say that they are expecting the most breweries EVER at the 2026 Invitational, and, for the first time ever, the event will be celebrating the creativity happening in Western New York and Rochester’s thriving craft beer scenes by inviting guests to vote for the most innovative (and delicious) beer. The brewery with the most votes will be the winner of the coveted “Brewer’s Invitational Cup.”
Guests will receive a commemorative 2026 Brewer’s Invitational glass, a gift card for NYBP’s gastropub menu, and access to creative Craft beers and one offs not available anywhere else. Mingle with brewers, Brewery owners, and fellow beer lovers at this small intimate celebration of the creativity in craft in WNY.
