Brewer's Choice NYC 2/27

My wife and I are going. We went to the last one in 2011 and it was a fantastic event, one of the best I have attended.

 

I'll be there with a friend. Looking forward to this!

Did anyone else wind up going to this? It turned out to be a pretty great event (made even better by a comp ticket!). Really my only criticism is that it seemed oversold, a total mobshow. Still I never wanted for something to drink or eat.

Highlights included a very congenial Jeppe from Evil Twin pouring big tastes of Biscotti and Femme Fatale Brett. The Peekskill crew serving up Simple Sour to cut a sugary, bacony pork terrine and pairing Amazeballs with pickled mussels. Freshly shucked oysters, amazing cheeses, pickles, bite-size grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Allagash with James Bean and especially, Midnight Brett. Kelso's Flemish Red. The Crossroads beers.

Yes, we attended, it was a great time. Agree with it being a bit oversold, but like you said, I wasn't left wanting for anything. Loved the Allagash, Empire, Peekskilll, Carton and Eataly offerings. Also really enjoyed the Brooklyn Crochet Rouge, Evil Twin Biscotti. Food was excellent as well. All of the brewers were extremely friendly and willing to chat. This event remains a "must attend" on my list.
