TAP New York

Started in 1998, Tap New York is one of the largest and longest-running craft brew festivals in the country. In 2025, it found a new home at Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, NY, just 45 miles south of Albany.

Taking place May 15–17, 2026, the festival features a weekend of craft beverages, continuous food sampling, live music, games, and vendors. Attendees can sample from 50+ craft brewers with 150+ drinks, including beer, cider, mead, sours, and mixed drinks. Each day highlights different food experiences — Saturday is BBQ, Bacon & Brews, and Sunday is Brunch & Brews. VIPs enjoy exclusive lounge access, specialty foods, and keepsake sampling glasses.

Buy early and save — prices increase as the event approaches.
