Blocktoberfest in-person is back!
Saturday, October 2nd – Save The Date, get your ticket, message your friends.
General Admission: 1PM - 4:30PM
VIP: early access starting at noon
We’re making some changes this year - but plan on an afternoon of great local beer! You can count on over 60 different styles of locally brewed beer (plus some hard seltzers, and other non-beer options) all available in one location. And all for the tasting!
In past years we've operated Blocktoberfest on a pay as you go model. This year to limit the direct interaction, we're doing a more traditional tasting/sampling set up.
And - as you've likely noticed, we've brought back the VIP hour. Where from noon -1PM your VIP ticket grants you early entry with fewer attendees as well as access to special pours from some of our member breweries.
Blocktoberfest will be outside, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, celebrating all that makes NYC Beer special. We're setting up our 'block-party' in the "yard" behind Building 77, right by the NYC Ferry launch. If you've been to Transmitter Brewing, or taken the ferry to the Navy Yard, you know exactly where to find us!
