Beer Festival
With over 60,000 square feet of floor space the
Spring CRAFT BEER FEST is a true craft beer tasting featuring
an incredible variety of beers from some of the finest brewers
in the country.
Be there to experience the flavors of award-winning breweries
from across the country – from highly-acclaimed local
beers by Brooklyn Brewery, Blue Point Brewery, Southampton to
great brews from special guests like Stone, Dogfish, and He'Brew.
This
is the craft beer event of Long Island!
Session I: 12pm-4pm (doors open at 11:30am)
Session II: 5:30pm-9:30pm (doors open at 5:00pm)
The
event will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Everyone who purchases a ticket will get in. No tickets will
be sold once the event sells out. We have limited the number
of attendees to insure that everyone that purchases a ticket
will be able to sample the beers they want and move around
with ease. The entire middle of the expo hall will be open
with cocktail tables for you to meet your friends and relax.
There will be plenty of water and food available for purchase,
music, special demonstrations and entertaining diversions.
If you really love great beer, this is the
festival for you. We will keep updating the list of expected
beers on our site, so check back often.
"The
Spring Craft Beer Festival on LI offers clear evidence that
the breweries of this area are an equal to our counterparts
across the country. There is a wonderful
assembly of East Coast suppliers complimenting the local LI/NY
area brewers. If you're a newcomer to 'better beers' or an
avid 'beer advocate', you'll find a whole world of beer culture
to become better acquainted with."
--Donald Sullivan, Owner, Southampton Publick House
"We at Stone Brewing Co. are delighted to attend the Spring

broader horizons, all in the name of a good cause. We very
much look forward to meeting as many people as possible during
the fest and raising a toast to American Craft Beer."

"The
Long Trail Brewing Company of Vermont is proud to participate
in this year's Spring Craft Beer Festival! High
quality craft beer has been, and continues to be, and integral
part of American cultural heritage, especially
here in the Northeast where so many great breweries have been
established. And what better way to participate in
American Craft Beer Week than to host a craft beer festival! Starfish
Junction has proudly taken on this task as a culmination to
this exciting week of celebration, suds and good times.
Long Trail will certainly not miss out, and we urge beer enthusiasts
near and far to join us at the Nassau Coliseum for an exciting
day highlighting all the great craft beers available on Long
Island! See you there!"
--Seth Wyman, Long Trail Brewing Company

Earlier
this year, Starfish Junction co-produced the Blue Point Brewing
Company Cask Ale Festival. It was a chilly day in January,
but the craft beer lovers turned out in record numbers. This
event was NOT oversold. Everyone holding a ticket was
admitted.
In
March 2007, we produced the Philly Craft Beer Festival.
BOTH SESSIONS WERE SOLD OUT. This event was NOT oversold. Everyone
holding a ticket was admitted and a great time was had by all! Attendees
were able to sample over 120 different beers brought by over
50 brewers from around the country. We raised $6,000
for COMMITTEE TO BENEFIT THE CHILDREN.
