Breweries You'd Like To See At The American Craft Beer Fest

Yeah, Peekskill Brewery, Peekskill, NY would be cool....

shoot for the stars:
FFF
RR
Alchemist
HF
Sixpoint
Boulevard
Captain F'N Lawrence
Rushing Duck

Hill Farmstead
Revival
Southern Tier
Bell's
New Belgium
Lost Abbey
Russian River

I'd like to see a lot of the new breweries that have popped up in the past year or so.. Trillium, Foolproof, the new one in Portsmouth (forgive me for not remembering the name)

Cape Cod Beer , Surly.

NOT Sttramge Brewing from Co, though if Brian from Strange Brew HB shop found they were in townthere might be a rumble...

Sweetwater
Wild Heaven
Red Hare
Red Brick
Terrapin
JailHouse

I like my local breweries.

Adding: Heretic Brewing from CA. Longtime contributor to Brew Your Own magazine goes pro.

Thirsty Dog, Weyerbacher, and Cigar City.

Kane Brewery from NJ. They have an IPA called Head High which I'd love everyone to try. Had it at the Asbury Park BF and it was incredible!
Also Rogue, SN, Alaska, Founders, Great Divide, Boulder, Harpoon, Brekinridge, DFH, SA, North Coast, Ballast (Victory at Sea), etc., etc., etc..

Cigar City
Founders
Russian River
Terrapin

Jailhouse

Boneyard would blow everybody away...

Geaghan Brothers Brewing out of Bangor, ME would be a great addition. Their Capt. Kool IPA is fantastic, and you can only get their stuff from the pub. Black Bear Brewery out of Orono would be a fun too.

Not to rub it in but there is such a thing as Imperial Coco Loco also.... 9.7% and scary good.
Good news is that they just got a new (used) counter pressure bottle filler so they might be able to do bottles releases more frequently in the near future, which would make trading a lot easier.

No

No New Belgium?

Fiddlehead
Bull Jagger
Devil's Backbone

is there a beer list from last year floating around anywhere?

Southern Tier
Monkish (Torrance, CA)
Craftsman (Pasadena, CA) - don't know if the brewer would be interested, but excellent beers
Portico
Golden City Brewery

Have you reached out to Relic in Plainville, CT? Local very small craft brewer who makes some very good and interesting beers...relicbeer.com

BTW, I have no affiliation, except that I really enjoy thier beers and wish for them to succeed...

Now that me and ny buddies have secured our tickets for the fest we are becoming increasingly anxious. During the recent 'breweries you would like to see' post there were some awesone suggestions and huge hopefulls thrown around.

Anybody have any suggestions/comments/info on breweries or details for the fest?

Can't wait to see you all there. Cheers!

Great Lakes! Can't get that in MA. Miss it.

Founders would be nice too.

Just curious when the final list will be going up (or an updated list)...Figure you guys have your hands full with EBF and Beers for Beasts, so wise to assume late March at the earliest?

Funky buddha, Upland, Crooked Stave.
