It sounds like a magical land of wheat and hops, doesn't it? A brewsky fan's dream come true...
Well, it's no dream.
This Saturday, the 2nd Annual Brewtopia World Beer Festival will be held in New York City. Here are the details from the invite they sent my way:
For its 2nd straight year, New York City will host the Brewtopia World Beer Festival, featuring the largest selection of brewers from around the world, and the finest selection of beers ever assembled in New York City. 70 of the world's top brewers and over 300 distinct and delicious beers.
Live music featuring several established local musicians, such as Citigrass and Citizen One. Sponsors include The Ale Street News, Brooklyn Brewery, The Onion, and Murphguide.com.
This significant and historical event pays homage to beer's long and distinguished history. One of the chief reasons the Mayflower landed was empty kegs. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, not to mention Samuel Adams were all brewers themselves, and our nation was literally conceived of in beer halls. The oldest recipe known for any food product of any kind was one for the making of beer discovered as an artifact of ancient Mesopotamia.
George Washington and ancient Mesopotamia? Sounds downright educational! Bring the whole family!
Besides, the event does contribute to a good cause - besides your well-deserved buzz. The festival also supports City Meals on Wheels. (Gramps likes a good buzz too!)
Awesome!!!! Tasted many great beers! Looking forward to the next event.
