This craft festival has nothing to do with arts. On June 12, sample more than 40 different brews from local breweries and beyond during the first annual Craft Beer Festival at MCU Park.
There will be beers from A to V, from Allagash in Portland, Maine, to Philadelphia’s Victory Brewing Company. Williamsburg-based Brooklyn Brewery and Sixpoint in Red Hook will also be among the local craft brewers.
Admission gets you 20, three-ounce craft beer samples, as well as a lure back to the field with a ticket to the Cyclones June 21 game against the pesky Aberdeen IronBirds.
“It’s a great way to start the year,” said festival organizer Alexa Atria. “Hopefully we’ll get bigger next year.”
As if more than three dozen brews to choose from wasn’t big enough.
Craft Beer Festival at MCU Park [1904 Surf Ave. at W. 17th Street in Coney Island, (718) 449-8497], June 12, 4-9 pm. Tickets $15-$50. For info, visit http://www.brooklyncyclones.com.
