Welcome to TAP℠ New York!  April 24-25 2010

What started out twelve years ago with a couple hundred beer fanatics and a handful of craft brewers at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park has blossomed (fermented?) into the longest running craft beer and food event in New York State.

TAP℠ New York has grown over tenfold through the years to now encompass the entire Base Lodge facilities at Hunter Mountain. Over 30 breweries representing over 100 individual beers offer everything from IPAs and lagers to wiesbiers, doppel and trippel bocks, stouts, ales... pretty much any variety you know of, and probably a few that you don't.

Craft brewing is alive and well. The resurgence of craft brewing, spawned in part by the creative brewers at Saranac and Boston Brewing, has lead to fuller bodied, flavorful brews featuring rich colors, bold flavors, and imaginative ingredients.

TAP℠ New York is also about food. Each year we offer plenty to eat. The food theme for 2010 is Barbecue. Daily cooking demonstrations will also show you some great ideas for your own kitchen.

TAP℠ is also a beer competition. Brewers from across the state enter their finest suds to compete for plaques and trophies. Each year on Saturday at TAP℠, highly qualified judges choose the best craft breweries in New York State and also, more specifically, the best breweries in the Hudson Valley. On Sunday, the panel of judges decide the best individual beers in both the Hudson Valley and the entire state.

So join us this April 24th & 25th as we TAP℠ New York at Hunter Mountain in the beautiful northern Catskill Mountains.
