Genesee “Tap It Forward” Day

Genesee Brew House will host up to 40 New York state breweries, twice as many as last year, at a craft beer festival designed to put a spotlight on the statewide beer scene. Featuring New York state breweries and 15 beer industry vendors, the Tap it Forward Festival will start at 5 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. The Festival will feature live music, food trucks, backyard games, vendors and New York state craft beer and cider. Last year’s Festival sold out so people are encouraged to order presale tickets for $20 at https://tapitforwardfest.eventbrite.com.  Proceeds from the event, will benefit the New York State Brewers Association which brings together the beer industry, providing leadership and advocacy. The goal of the Tap it Forward Festival is to showcase Rochester and New York state as a destination for great beer.
