PR: BeerAdvocate.com to Showcase New England Craft Brewers

Jan 25, 2005 18 Replies

Alström Brothers plan on enticing attendees into thinking and drinking locally at the New England Beer Fest.



Did you know that New England is home to roughly 125 breweries and brewpubs, with well-over 1,500 different beers being crafted each year? Don't worry, most people don't. But that's about to change!



BeerAdvocate.com is proud to announce Saturday, May 7, 2005 as the date for its first "New England Beer Fest" in Boston, MA. Attendees will enjoy the beery tastes of New England's six states, and have the unique chance to learn more about New England brewing.



"There hasn't been a regional beer fest like this in over 6 years," stated Todd Alström, Co-Founder of BeerAdvocate.com. "Our goal is to bring more awareness to the local craft beer scene, showcase the incredible diversity within the region, and entice beer lover's to start thinking and drinking a bit more locally."



In addition to the outstanding line-up of regional beers, the New England Beer Fest will feature special guest speakers from each New England state, artisanal cheeses from New England cheesemakers, and other delicious local foods.



"American's are spoiled by a massive selection of imports, both foreign and domestic, and often forget about all of the great beer that's being brewed right in front of them," added Jason Alström, Co-Founder of BeerAdvocate.com. "It's important to show support for your local beer scene."



BeerAdvocate.com's New England Beer Fest is being held on Saturday, May 7,



2005 at The Cyclorama at The Boston Center for the Arts in Boston, MA. Tickets go on-sale January 31, 2005.

New England Beer Fest is part of BeerAdvocate.com's ongoing Better Beer Fest Series, which is dedicated to bringing awareness to the better beer scene through education and respect.

Do your cheeks ever get sore from tooting your own horn incessantly?

Nice to know you still suck at baiting ...

It worked. And actually got the only goatmessage that wasn't strictly blatant shilling. Go me.

And you replied to Jason's bait. Classic bait the baiter move on his part. Kudos to the bro!

Me, I'm just here to deliver the final bitch slap. < slap >

Anyway ... New England Beer Fest is going to rock. Join us. I'll buy you a beer.

Cheers!

Guys...you're all three of you playing the "No, stupid, I got YOU!!!!1!!" game too damned hard. The sweat's showing.

Oh, me. And USENET used to be such a great and grand forum for principled debate.

No, really. It was on a Thursday, I think, in late 1997.

Aha! All three of you have taken my bait!

Already on the website, and I'm plotting how to sample. Where's the best place to find them? Any places in Manhattan?

ALL YOUR BAITS IS BELONG TO US!!!!

I'm working on getting it in Copperfield's and Brewsky's. I'll e-mail you their number. You can find out from them.

Let me know when you're in town. I'll get the torches and pitchforks out.

I've got the particulars, I've been in touch, I just wanna drink, but I'm not going to be able to get over to Brooklyn. I'll call and find out where.

Mad, impetuous boy. I'll be up on Feb. 17th, doing a NYT tasting panel on pilsners. Figure I'll have time for a bar stop or two after, but then I'll have to run home to do that fatherly stuff, as usual. You loose that afternoon? And how far uptown is Neill's place?

The West End is up at 113th and Broadway. The address is 2909 Broadway. If I'm not working that day, I can meet you.

The villagers will love to see you.

C'mon ... four posts deep is hardly breaking a sweat. Hell ... you should know that, Lew.

This is just having some old-school fun, '97 style.

Cheers!

Um, no, not that late, not with [] still posting.

Maybe a couple of years earlier.

Whoa, two goats on one hook. Boo-YAH!

If I were going to be there, I'd take you up on the offer.

It was before they let AOL and Compuserv people in.

You forgot WebTV. Ack!

ObBeer: Tried Troeg's Mad Elf last Thursday. A bit undercarbonated (perhaps that's deliberate?), but not bad.
