Beer & Food

Beer elevates food and vice versa. The great part about beer is that it pairs well with fine dining, casual fare or pub food:

  • A ticketed or fixed-price multi-course paired beer dinner

  • Curated menu of food with beer suggestions

  • Expert-led guided pairings of cheese, chocolate or other food with select beers

  • Themed events (ex. smoked beers and smoked meat; Italian food and Italian pilsners)

  • Featured beer discounts (e.g. order a burger and get $1 off a featured beer)

​

No kitchen? No problem. Collaborative events with food trucks or caterers can bring thoughtful food pairings to your establishment. Contact our team for ideas and to brainstorm.

​

Bar Events

Elevate your customer's beer experience and attract new customers by participating in a specialized beer event

  • Tap takeover: a single brewery takes over your draft lines for one evening

  • Theme nights: instead of one brewery, host an evening of the same style of beers or breweries from a specific area

  • Meet the Brewer: don't just pour the beer; host representatives from the brewery at your establishment for a meet-and-greet and casual conversation

  • Curated flights: let our team work with your bar to curate flights (multiple small pours) that allow your guests to try new beers without committing to a full pint

  • Beer games: let us invade your trivia night with questions about beer and brewing, and provide promotional items from breweries as prizes

​

Retail Stores

If you have an off-premises sales license, let's talk

  • Beer drops: Arrange for a brewery with limited or no distribution to be sold at your establishment in a special retail event

  • Beer tastings: Brewery representatives pour samples at your store, which customers can purchase

The Commitment​

There is no cost to participating in Central New York Craft Beer Week. Really.

​

The success of your event and CNYCBW is through cross-promotion. We ask that participants post promotional material about their event and CNYCBW in their establishments and on social media.

​

CNYCBW organizers will provide and distribute promotional materials, submit information to local media, and use its social media channels to elevate your event.
