The Empire State has become one of the premier destinations for artisanal beer, wine, spirits and cider. But you won’t have to trek throughout all of Upstate New York to try the best its beverage makers have to offer. The state’s craft beverage producers will have their chance to shine at Cheers NY, a weekend-long celebration of New York State-made craft beverages and Brooklyn, N.Y.-made food.
The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and the State of New York—through Empire State Development Corp. and the Taste NY state food and drink promotion initiative—teamed up to sponsor the event, which will feature two tasting sessions on Saturday, Oct. 3 (12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.) and one on Sunday, Oct. 4 (12 p.m. to 3 p.m.).
