SAVOR℠ HOPS TO NEW YORK
CITY IN 2013
Big Apple Hosts
Premier Craft Beer and Food Pairing Experience
As the benchmark beer and food pairing event,
SAVOR’s format will remain the same—an intimate and engaging reception, with a
menu carefully designed by Brewers Association culinary consultant Adam Dulye,
chef/owner of The Monk’s Kettle and The Abbot’s Cellar in San Francisco. As in
years past, small and independent breweries representing all geographic
regions of the country will be selected to participate by a lottery drawing.
Guests will be served by the notable personalities behind the craft beer brands
and have an opportunity to interact with them during private tastings throughout
the two nights.
“Part of our mission as a national, industry association is to promote small and independent craft brewers and their craft brewed beers to audiences around the country,” said Sam Calagione, chair of the Brewers Association’s board of directors. “Moving SAVOR to New York City, the culinary capital of the world, in 2013 is an incredible opportunity to showcase craft beer from a diverse sampling of small U.S. producers who have helped shift the perception of beer from something predictable and homogenized into the dynamic, flavorful, food-friendly beverage it is recognized as today. Craft brewers, beer lovers and foodies who attend SAVOR contribute to a historic localization of beer and a shift in the culinary arts world.”
The nation’s capital will play host to other Brewers Association events in 2013. The industry-only Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America® will be held from March 26-29 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. The craft brewing industry’s largest annual event gathers thousands of small and independent American brewers and their trade partners for workshops, collaboration, education and discussion on important matters facing the community.
“With D.C. hosting the Craft Brewers
Conference in 2013, this was the right time for the Brewers Association to bring
SAVOR to a new market and expand the audience,” added Calagione. “We’re excited
to see what New York has in store for SAVOR, and look forward to returning SAVOR
to the National Building Museum in 2014.”
