New York’s original craft beer festival is back! The 31st Annual Flour City Brewers Fest returns to the Rochester Public Market on Friday, August 22, bringing together breweries from every corner of the state for a one-of-a-kind evening that celebrates the people, passion, and products that make New York great.
This year marks an exciting new chapter as the New York State Brewers Association (NYSBA) takes over as the producer of the iconic event. Fans can expect everything they’ve always loved, but with even more breweries and a broader focus on highlighting craft beer from across the state – in addition to local staples. Ticket proceeds benefit the NYSBA’s ongoing mission to support New York’s more than 500 breweries through advocacy, education, and promotion.
The festival will feature craft beer, wine, cider, non-alcoholic beverages, farm distilleries, food, games, live music, and vendors – a true showcase of New York’s finest. Whether you’re a brewer, bartender, artist, driver, or most importantly – a craft beer fan, this night is for you.
“The Flour City Brewers Fest is the longest running festival in the state with a rich tradition of celebrating New York State craft beer and giving back to the community and industry through charitable contributions. The New York State Brewers Association intends to continue that tradition and couldn’t be more excited to take over one of the best craft beer festivals in the state starting in 2025,” Paul Leone, executive director, New York State Brewers Association, said.
