    Hello Brooklyn! Our popular IPA Fest is back and headed to your borough on Saturday, September 14, 2019! Like last year's sold out IPA Fest in Boston, this tribute to hoppy beers—from bitter to hazy and juicy to sour—will focus exclusively on India Pale Ales (and a few India Pale Lagers). Hosted by BeerAdvocate, presented by Dogfish Head, and held at the Brooklyn Expo Center, the one day festival will span two sessions and feature over 50 breweries pouring nearly 200 beers.

    TICKETS + BEER LINEUP:

    Looking forward to seeing many of you there, and thanks for your support!

    Updates:
    • We're now at 50 breweries! https://www.beeradvocate.com/ipa/

    We kept the number of VIP tickets low to be safe. There's always a chance that we might release a handful more, but it wouldn't be until we're much closer to the fest and not a guarantee.

    If more VIP tickets end up getting released closer to the fest, would regular ticket holders be able to upgrade by paying the difference?

    Moving to NYC in August and psyched to finally make it to a BA festival.

    We'd definitely take a look at accommodating those who've already purchase tickets.

    Oh... Dear me...

    The question posed by "BA" was... "Brooklyn or Boston," which would you rather attend?

    Well... I live in SEATTLE! We really DON'T CARE about Boston and New Yawk, to be honest with you. HOWEVER, that said, here is how I deal with the CULTURE that has come out of Boston and New Yawk!...

    When I order a pizza from Pagliacci's I get a, "half and half,"... Half Brooklyn Bridge, half South Boston.

    AND I DRINK SEATTLE BEER!!!!!

    (and so should you)

    And THAT is how I answer the question... "Boston or Brooklyn." Thank you for the pizza suggestions, they are fantastic... BUT... I'll drink SEATTLE beer... Thank you very much. And THAT combo is SUPERB!!!

    I know we're still about 6 weeks out... couple questions. I know you guys ended up reaching out for volunteers for Funk this year, any chance you'll need helping hands for this one? Also, I know it's been mentioned, but want to make sure I don't miss the train on any second round of VIP tickets, is that still a plan? Super excited for this fest! Cheers!

    Yes. I believe that we'll be reaching out to some local Society members to join our Fest Crew (not volunteer).
    We hope to release another round of VIP tickets to Society members. It'll be a very limited amount.

    Updates to follow soon...

    Yo, let's pick a spot son. There aren't that many NYC spots, let alone beer spots, that can accommodate more than 4 people.

    That'd be sweet - how do I make sure I'm on the list to be reached out to? I'd love to sign up!

    Nice! Great choice!
