Overview Brooklyn Craft Beer Fest is an Oktoberfest-season tasting festival at Industry City in Sunset Park, where a ticket buys unlimited 2-ounce pours from more than 150 styles of craft beer across a three-and-a-half-hour session. It runs as two sessions on one Saturday in October, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, and it is 21 and over. The organizers bill it as a beer garden crossed with a craft beer festival. Evan Berman Productions produces it; the company runs food, beer, wine, whiskey and cocktail festivals and holiday markets across New York, New Jersey, Florida and California. On site The 2026 edition took Industry City's Courtyards 1 and 2 on 36th Street. Every guest gets a souvenir 4-ounce tasting glass marked with a 2-ounce pour line and walks it from table to table, where local and domestic brewers pour alongside cider makers. Live entertainment and interactive games run through each session, and food is sold on site. There is no re-entry, and no outside food or drink or large bags come in. A designated-driver ticket gets a guest in without sampling. Audience Guests pay for time rather than drinks, so they move from table to table for the full session with the same glass in hand, passing the same tables more than once. The producer says many of its guests come back event after event, and it reaches them between festivals through an email list of about 50,000. Brand presence Partners can take the festival's shared objects: the logo on the souvenir tasting glass every guest carries (with four weeks' lead time), on the wristband every guest wears, or on every photo-booth picture, each one emailed to the guest with the logo on it. A premium table location and a 10-by-15-foot seminar space, with signage and a portable microphone for up to two talks a session, can be added. Platinum and Gold packages bundle these with complimentary tickets, and a brand can add a dedicated email to the producer's list or boosted social posts.
