New York, NY - August 17, 2010 - Internationally recognized as one of the top craft beer destinations in the world, the 3rd Annual NY Craft Beer Week presents an outstanding line-up of special events and promotions happening in all five boroughs from Friday, September 24 - Sunday, October 3, 2010. The 3rd Annual NY Craft Beer Week rounds up today's top craft breweries available in the city and local chefs, over 100 beer destinations and 30 renowned restaurants for a delicious showcase of local brews, specialty food and beer pairing menus, educational tastings and tours, boutique beer festivals, and the release of the official beer of the Week: Geektoberfest. Brewed by Shmaltz Brewing, Captain Lawrence Brewing, and Ithaca Beer Co., Geektoberfest is blended and barrel aged, and available on draft only for purchase at various craft beer bars across New York City.
New York City beer enthusiasts and foodies alike will have the opportunity to enjoy over 100 craft beer destinations with the much-anticipated NYC Beer Passport 2010, the official NY Craft Beer Week program and resource guide. Passports are $10, and patrons will receive promotional deals and discounts on selections from their favorite craft breweries at participating venues. Each venue will feature one specific brewery, and instead of paying $6 or $7 per glass of beer, it's only $3 for the same beer through the Passport program (Passports have an offer for one serving at each bar). A majority of the bars will also offer a promo of their choice through Labor Day 2011 to extend the Passport's value for those consumers unable to visit every bar during the Beer Week. Passports are available for purchase now at www.nycbeerweek.com and at each participating venue beginning September 9, 2010.
Passports include a calendar of all the featured events with a detailed description of each event, special editorial sections written by influential beer writers and industry insiders, FAQ's about NY Craft Beer Week, a list of all the participating restaurants with Zagat's "Beer Pairing Menus," a list of all the bars and retail outlets involved with NY Craft Beer Week, and much more. An iPhone app will become available in early September 2010 reflecting an interactive version of the Passport and NY Craft Beer Week website.

In the city today, there is an incredible community surrounding craft beer that is so exciting in the ways it presents beer more and more as that same staple of everyday life. We are delighted in the continually expanding offerings of the Beer Week to provide more and more outlets and ideas for everyone from all walks of life to be able to enjoy craft beer as prominently in our lives as our fore-bearers."
Brooklyn Brewery's Brewmaster Garret Oliver says, "NYC Beer Week is a great opportunity for people to check out the creativity and talent of New York's brewers. New York City is famous for having the best of everything, and NYC Beer Week is going to show off America's most diverse and exciting beer scene."
