NYS Craft Brewers Festival

The New York State Craft Brewers Festival returns to Buffalo Canalside Saturday June 21, 2025! The renowned event brings together more than 50+ breweries from every region of the state offering enthusiasts, both novice and seasoned, a rare opportunity to relish in unique and award-winning beer. Discover new styles, flavors, and brands, and meet the master’s behind the craft you love! Brewery owners & representatives pour at the events, NO volunteers.

Great beer deserves to be paired with great food! Savory eats will be available for purchase from a rodeo of food trucks.

For the first time ever, the NYSBA is offering a VIP Beer & Chicken Wing Experience!  VIP ticket holders will enjoy a guided beer and wing pairing pairing at Southern Tier Brewering (across the street from the festival) featuring five (5oz) NY beers paired with five wings, each uniquely seasoned to complement the pairing.  VIPs will also receive 1-hour early festival admission with access to exclusive VIP beers, a pint coozie, sticker bundle, and a special 12oz VIP glass for use at the festival.

With more than a decade of experience, New York State Craft Brewers Festivals are produced with highest level of care and professionalism, with the goal of providing a truly authentic craft beer experience for all.

See you there, cheers!
