Get Real NY’s Craft Beer and Food Festival

Unfiltered, unpasteurized cask-conditioned ales are the stars of this two-day beer fest. Grab a tasting glass and sample more than 90 sips from established craft breweries (Sierra Nevada, Victory), local upstarts (Barrier, Greenport Harbor) and NYC homebrewers alike. Look out for rare cask pours like Lagunitas Brown Sugga, Green Flash Double Stout and a preview of Massachussets-based Wandering Star, due to launch in NYC in May. Some of the city's top beer bars—such as Rattle N Hum and Jimmy's No. 43—will have stations serving specialty beers and food, and you can also nosh unlimited bites from purveyors including Luke’s Lobster, Fatty Crab and Cafe D'Alsace.
