August 3, 2009The second annual "NY Craft Beer Week" is coming September 11th - 20th, but it is a NYC rather than NY-Statewide event. (I'm not finding anything about it on the New York State Brewers Association
website.) It looks pretty good, and seems to be somewhat modeled after NYC's "Restaurant Week," which has been recurring for the better part of a decade. (For more, see
http://www.nycbeerweek.com).
With Blue Point, Southampton, Brickhouse, Black Forest, and John Harvard's being joined by new breweries (
Long Ireland,
Greenport Harbor,
Fire Island,
Blind Bat, plus at least
Great South Bay and
Barrier in the works), maybe next year we can have a LI Craft Beer Week. Perhaps it could be scheduled to coincide with one of the bigger beer festivals here on Long Island, such as the North Fork Craft Beer Festival, or the Spring Craft Beer Festival. s
