An evening of tastings by the river

The 2026 edition promises more than sixty craft beverage styles — beers, ciders and spirits — poured by regional breweries, cideries and distilleries, alongside artisan vendors from Western New York.

The VIP session opens at 5:30 p.m., the general session follows at 6:30 p.m., and the evening comes with live music: The Brass Machine performs at this 2026 edition. Tickets are on sale on Eventbrite, via the festival's official website.
