I’m excited to hear you are taking over - I can’t think of anyone else better suited to run a Rochester beer festival! I’m hoping that Aurora will make an appearance. I love what they brew and wish their beer was more readily available for purchase in Rochester. Cheers!
So glad it’s going to continue. Do you know if you’ll need volunteers like Expos in years past? Some breweries to consider: Grow, Fat Head, plus a few more out of state stuff would be cool!
Yes, there are still opportunities for volunteering. Organizers will have more info there. And I’m trying to find the right balance of local and regional. I think We’ve got a good plan in place.
Very excited to hear you’re taking over! You’re perfect for this role!! I’ve been in Pittsburgh a lot in recent years as my daughter went to college there. Pitt is another fine brewery city. My two faves are Grist House and Cinderlands. Would love to see them make an appearance. Cinderlands has a scotch ale that is the closest I’ve ever seen to Rohrbachs. Congratulations! Cheers!

Keep it in the Wedge please!!! :) And free water stations
Will definitely miss this at the Gregory street location. It was perfect. And big time seconding water stations!

Good chance of that!

That’s EXCELLENT, Will! 💜
Awesome news. Look forward in seeing the event grow and live on. Such a fabric of the community. Best of luck!
