Beer Expo returns to Nassau Coliseum

The Island Now

The Great Beer Expo will return to NYCB Live, home of Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, Nov. 10.

This year’s event will showcase dozens of local, national, and international breweries, offering more than 100 beers for sampling. Based on the turnout of last year’s event, this year’s gathering is sure to be another success.

The biggest names in brewing are excited to be joining the festivities. This year’s beer tasting extravaganza will showcase breweries from around the corner, around the country, and around the globe. The pay-one-price general admission ticket includes all beer tastings.

The Great Beer Expo is being held the weekend of Veteran’s Day. The event producer, Starfish Junction, has selected Suffolk County Homefront, Inc., as this year’s event charity partner.

Suffolk County Homefront is a local charity with a dual mission to purchase supplies, equipment and care packages for deployed service members and to recognize the sacrifice of those who have died or been injured in combat.  A portion of the event proceeds will directly benefit Suffolk County Homefront , Inc. (www.suffolkcountyhomefront.org).

The Great Beer Expo will have two sessions: 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 5:30 to 9 p.m. General Admission tickets are $45 (advance purchase) and $55 (event day purchase if the event is not sold out).  All tickets are subject to taxes and associated fees. Tickets can be purchased at TicketWeb.com, NYCBLive.com or at the Nassau Coliseum box office.

General Admission tickets include admission to the Expo, a five-ounce souvenir tasting cup, and the freedom to enjoy a two-ounce sample of any of the beers present at the Expo. Food is available for purchase.

Designated driver tickets are also available for $12 each.  No one under age 21, including designated drivers, will be admitted to the event and photo ID is required for entry.  All ticket sales are final.
