Syracuse Beer Week gives residents a chance to taste and experience local, regional and national beers once a year. Restaurants from all over the city participate, allowing beer-lovers to taste all sorts of varieties of their favorite beverage.
The idea for Syracuse Beer Week started last year, and according to Event Coordinator Brian Duprey, was based off of
Many of the events are free to the public, which allows people to try a broad range of beers without hurting their wallet. However, according to Michael Yorton from the Blue Tusk and Adam Eagen from Empire Brewery, people still make room for plenty of beer in their budgets, even during tough economic times.
“I actually see it as a sign of people being more sensible,” Yorton said. “Maybe instead of buying a $100 bottle of wine, you can buy an amazing bottle of beer for $5.”
Beer Week allows restaurants and breweries around the city to promote their products and attract new customers. This is especially important for local breweries like Empire and Middle Ages. The week allows them to showcase their full range of home brews, and seasonal beers. However the events only run until Saturday, and then it’s back to a normal schedule for all the local breweries.
