Rochester Real Beer Expo beer list revealed!

We have 72 craft beverage producers coming to the Expo Saturday. This is what they plan to pour.

You know why you’re here. I know why you’re here. You want to see what’s gonna be poured at this weekend’s Rochester Real Beer Expo at Innovative Field.

The event runs from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday. (VIP gets you in the door at 5 p.m. and access to some rare beers.) So we’ll get right to it.

VIP tickets are sold out. (They have been since April.) General admission tickets are flying right now. I encourage you not to wait until the last minute if you want to attend. I am very excited about this brewery list and all the hard work it represents. You can grab tickets online at rochesterrealbeer.com.

If you’ve made it this far, you just wanna see the beer list. So here it is.

(Note, there is no rhyme or reason to how the breweries are listed. It’s just how they were organized on my spreadsheet. I’ve never been a big spreadsheet guy until this experience. Thankfully, my wife kicked my ass into shape and introduced me to the beauty of remaining organized.)
