Overview

What is the Staten Island Brewfest 2010?

The Staten Island Brewfest 2010 is the inaugural and definitive Beer festival for New York City’s most picturesque borough. We’re bringing quality craft brewers from all over the country to our neck of the woods, with a special emphasis on our local New York State brewers.

A quick (and free!) ferry ride from Manhattan, the SIBF2010 will also feature historical exhibits on loan from the Staten Island Museum detailing the borough’s once-proud brewing tradition. We’ll have fabulous food and great music and another great feature will be our Homebrewers Pavilion, where homebrewers can display their wares, offer samples, and trade secrets (and beer) with some of their peers!

To avoid crazy lines, and better ensure every attendee gets to sample every delicious beer, there are two distinct sessions, early and late, each with an extremely limited 300 tickets. So rally your friends, choose your session, and come on out to SIBF2010 and enjoy some great beer!
