New York’s original brewers fest is back at the Rochester Public Market for its 32nd year, Friday August 21st! Flour City Brewers Fest is a night of raising our glass to New York State craft beer. We'll celebrate the brewers, the bartenders, the artists, the truck drivers, THE FANS... everyone who keeps local craft beer alive. It’s a unique night for New York State craft breweries from every region of the state to gather together in one place - the Rochester Public Market. But the night is about more than beer - we'll also celebrate NYS wineries, hard cideries, farm distilleries, non-alcoholic beverages, and food. All the things that make this state great. Enjoy live music, games, vendors, FLASH TATTOOS and more. There’s something for everyone at FCBF (as long as you’re 21+!).
The Flour City Brewers Fest is produced by the New York State Brewers Association. What does this mean? Everything you love about this historic event stays the same, we’re just adding more breweries from across the state with ticket proceeds benefiting the NYSBA’s mission to support the New York State craft brewing industry through advocacy, education, and promotion. #thinkNYdrinkNY

This is your chance to sip your way through a lineup of breweries that have produced some of the most celebrated beers in New York State. Whether you're chasing legendary names or discovering your next favorite brewery, Governor's Cup Row is a must-visit destination for every craft beer fan.
