Rochester Real Beer Expo beer list!

Here is the (nearly) complete offering list for the upcoming Expo!

This is why you’re here — here’s the nearly complete beer (and non-beer) list for the upcoming Rochester Real Beer Expo. I am really jazzed about these offerings. We’ve got a ton of stuff that’s never been poured in Rochester, as well as some stuff you’ll probably never ever get to experience again. I hope you can come party with us!

Photo: Here’s a selfie of me and Adam Chodak from last year’s Expo. I love Adam. So this felt like a great excuse to use this pic where we both look exceedingly handsome.

Ticket info:

The 2024 Rochester Real Beer Expo takes place on Saturday, June 8, at Innovative Field in downtown Rochester. (VIP starts at 5, general admission follows at 6.) In total, we’re gonna have more than 80 breweries, some really lovely non-alcoholic options, three cideries, and even a local coffee roaster with some cold brew.

Unofficial Expo kick-off party

One of my favorites, Wayward Lane Brewing from Schoharie, is bringing a few of its fantastic, award-winning offerings for a mini-tap takeover at the Sheffield Tavern, 1776 Monroe Ave. in Brighton.

It’ll start this Friday night and run till the kegs are kicked. It’s a great way to meet some awesome folks from the brewery and get a preview of some of the delicious offerings they’ll be pouring at the Expo the next day.
