Holy beer! The perfect way to describe Friday’s Buffalo Brewfest at HSBC Arena.

Celebrating its 10th year, Buffalo Brewfest will feature over 100 craft brews from around the nation. Brewers will set up across the two floors of the arena atrium and outside the plaza.  Food will be available from a menu specially prepared by Delaware North for the event featuring beer-inspired items.

Attendance was limited to 3,500 people at the 2010 Brewfest because of space limitations.  This year, however, event organizers are expanding the event to utilize the entire plaza area and organizers expect as many as 5,000 people to attend.

All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center Foundation. 

Tickets are $25 presale/$35 at the event and are still available for purchase.  The price of admission includes a souvenir tasting glass, program and 20 tasting tickets. Additional tickets are available for $1.

No one under the age of 21 will be admitted and legal identification required prior entrance.  Designated drivers admitted for free, but also must be 21 years old. Free admission does not include food or beverages.
