New York, NY (Oct. 1st) The Hand Crafted Tasting Company is proud to announce the return of its NYC Craft Beer Festival – WINTER HARVEST to the Lexington Avenue Armory (68 Lexington Ave.) in Manhattan on Saturday, November 23rd, 2013 for two sessions, and a special afternoon Session on Sunday, November 24th. The tasting scheduled the weekend before Thanksgiving will showcase Winter releases from 75of America’s best Craft Breweries, with approximately 150 selections. Delicious food designed specifically to be consumed while enjoying the beer tasting sessions will be available in the foodcourt from Morris Grilled Cheese, Carl’s Cheese Steaks, and El Paso Tacos. Each restaurant will provide vegetarian options. On Saturday, The NYC Craft Beer Festival will offer two sessions, 2:00 PM-4:30 PM, and 7:00PM-9:30 PM. VIP’s and Connoisseur Level tickets enter one hour ahead of the posted times. Tickets are available for purchase. On Sunday, there is only an afternoon session. “Our NYC Craft Beer Festival guests most loved venue is the Lexington Armory. And due to the fact that building codes have recently changed for the Armory, the occupancy is reduced. Our guests will have much more room to breathe during the tasting, and we added a third Sunday afternoon session to accommodate demand. We are excited for our attendees to sample our carefully curated selection of the best Winter seasonal brews the brewers have to offer,” said Ken Tesler, founder of Hand Crafted Tasting Co. During the event, many brewers’ representatives will be available at the taps to educate the guests about their liquid offerings. VIP and Connoisseur ticket holders can enter the Armory an hour earlier and have access to the beer, the brewers and the food during this first hour. This is a great time to speak with some of your favorite brewer representatives and avoid what is expected to be a sold-out, capacity audience later in the day. Finally, just one hundred & fifty Connoisseur tickets are available for purchase per session. The Connoisseur package offers the extra advance hour of tasting, a speedy entrance line to the Armory and access to the exclusive Connoisseurs Lounge for the entire session. There will be an additional 12-15 rare beers not found on the Grand Tasting floor, and gourmet snacks at no charge. The Connoisseurs Lounge is a great, relaxing place to get away from the throng at the historic armory’s main drill-hall floor. “We offer a private back-stage kind of lounge for beer Connoisseurs to listen to live, acoustic, Blues & Folk influenced music all the while sampling some of the rarest and most exciting beers you’ll ever get a chance to drink. Gourmet finger-foods will be provided at no additional cost,” says Tesler. Hand-Crafted Tasting Company is the Food & Beverage division of Mad Dog Presents, A concert production & event planning company.
