Cost of admission includes a 5 oz tasting glass with a 2 oz pour line, beer samples, access to all vendors, and concert pass. Local food vendors and restaurants also will be on site offering a variety of delectable pub pairings to accompany the beer along with shopping tents for special beer-related apparel and goods.
“What started out as a passion for craft beer led to a vision to share that passion with local friends in a place we’re all proud to call home—Long Island” say the events coordinators. They also state that the event was designed to offer a different type of energy and experience than the typical beer festivals- “This event is all about discovering what’s fresh – we’ll be showcasing some of the best tasting beer selections of the year, all set to the backdrop of some of the music world’s best bands,” says James Bonanno, one of the Beer Fields festival founders. “This is how Beerfields stands out from 99% of all Beer festivals – not only do we have some of the best in craft beers, we are bringing in some of the world’s best live music acts, making this the perfect summer event for craft beer and music enthusiasts”.
The festival also hopes to assist in promoting the emergence of the powerhouse Long Island Breweries, which have helped change Long Island’s reputation from a premier wine-producing destination to one of the nation’s fast-growing hubs for craft breweries, many of which are attending Beerfields including Blue Point, Great South Bay, Long Ireland, Port Jeff and Spider Bite, Fire Island Beer Co., and plenty more. This is a perfect opportunity for Long Islanders eager to jump into the craft beer phenomenon to try all their favorite local buzz beers up close and personal with the brewers themselves.
