Here are the final 7 breweries signed up for the 2023 Rochester Real Beer Expo!

This year's edition of Rochester's biggest showcase of rare beer will take place on Saturday, June 10, at Innovative Field.

WOOOOOOOO!!!!

Alright, now that I’ve got that out of my system, I am proud to report that we have a fully booked 2023 Rochester Real Beer Expo. This is my first time curating a beer festival, so I really didn’t know what to expect (or even really know what I was doing).

But we got there! I was aiming for 65 breweries and we ended up with 74. Whoops. If we stay on budget, we’ll be golden. And I’m sure there’s gonna be great variety, something for everyone.

This year’s Expo will place on Saturday, June 10, at Innovative Field, home of the Rochester Red Wings baseball club.

Tickets are on sale now. VIP tickets, which gain you an hour of early access and a few other perks, are nearly sold out. The event will most assuredly sell out as it has for each of the last 10 editions. Tickets are available at www.rochesterrealbeer.com.

There will be plenty of hazy IPAs, thiccc fruited sours, over-the-top dessert-like pastry stouts, barrel-aged creations, LAGERS, and funky farmhouse ales. (Next on my docket? Picking beers and making sure they all make it to Rochester.)

Here are the final seven participants:

1. Blood Brothers Brewing, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

2. Threes Brewing, Brooklyn, N.Y.

3. Wolf Hollow Brewing, West Glenville, N.Y.

4. Arkane Aleworks, Largo, Fla.

5. Tin Barn Brewing, Chester, N.Y.

6. Afterthought Brewing, Lombard, Ill.

7. Finback Brewery, Queens, N.Y.
