TAP New York Craft Beer Festival Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st, 2011

 

What is TAPSM New York? Over the years, TAPSM New York has developed into one of New York State's largest craft beer festivals. We're not talking about big-corporation beer that comes out of huge vats in a 300,000 sq. ft. production plant. We're talking about hand-made beer.... not beer that is rushed through the brewing process to get it on the shelf as quickly as possible, but beer with enough personality and genuine taste to be called "craft-brewed". This is beer made with pride by people who truely enjoy a quality, flavorful beer. Many of the invited brewers produce their beer for sale only in their location.... whether it is a restaurant, a brewpub or a small brewery. Others are breweries large enough to distribute on a larger scale, but maintain an excellent quality through their commitment to craft-brewing their product. You won't find Anheuser-Busch, Coors, or Miller products here. What you will find are some truly remarkable beers that will tantalize your taste buds... beers that offer a variety of color and flavor that the big boys only dream of. You'll find everything from pale ales and pilseners, to weisbiers, porters, stouts, and scotch ales; from hearty Bohemian and Bavarian-style lagers to glorious Belgian-style ales and, dare we say, even more. But TAPSM New York is more than just about the beer. It's about great food -- tasty morsels that carefully complement these rich brews. And plenty of it. It's about education.... about beer, about home-brewing, about beer/food pairings.... it's about cooking demonstrations from some of the best chefs in the region (and beyond).... and it's about good friends coming together for a weekend of good beer, good food and good times. TAPSM New York is also a competition. Beer experts and non-experts will judge in a competition for the "Best Beer" and "Best Brewery" in New York State. Two cups are awarded on Saturday, the Matthew Vassar Cup and the F. X. Matt Memorial Cup. When is TAPSM New York? TAPSM New York is an annual event. In 2011 it takes place on Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st, 2011. Hours are 1pm to 5pm Satuday, 12noon to 4pm Sunday. Where is TAPSM New York? TAPSM New York is held in the base lodge at Hunter Mountain in the beautiful northern Catskill Mountains. You must be 21 years of age or older to attend TAPSM New York. No infants or children will be permitted to enter the event. This includes infants in strollers or carried by a parent. For the benefit and safety of your child and all other attendees, please make arrangements to leave your children at home or with friends or relatives.

 

Maple Weekend March 19-20, March 26-27, 2011

http://www.mapleweekend.com/

	Welcome to Maple Weekend™ March 19-20,  March 26-27, 2011 10am-4pm each day Please check with individual producers for specific dates

The syrup is boiling at Randalls Maple in Alexander, NY

Come try the “best tasting” maple syrup in the United States!  The New York State Maple Producers Association invites you to one of the state’s sweetest events:   Maple Weekend. 

 Our goal during Maple Weekend is to share the taste of real mouth-watering maple syrup with you and to demonstrate the various ways to make it.  Whether it’s simply boiling the sap over an open fire or running it through highly scientific equipment, the final produce is always great taste.

From the first Maple Sunday nearly 15 years ago to today’s Maple Weekend event, the public has the opportunity to see first-hand how maple products are produced, from tree to table, along with the chance to taste and purchase maple products.  From its start in Wyoming County, Maple Weekend now occurs statewide and takes place on TWO weekends due to its popularity.  This year, Maple Weekend takes place March 19-20 and 26-27 from 10am – 4pm each day.  Check our Locations page for a producer near you and to see the dates and times that they’re open.

 Admission is free!!

The word is spreading about award-winning New York Sate maple syrup.  On behalf of our 500-member organization, please join us for Maple Weekend!   

New York State –Maple Syrup Production up 10% in 2009

In 2009, New York State’s more than 1,500 maple syrup producers made more than 362,000 gallons of syrup according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.  Only Vermont with 920,000 gallons and Maine’s 395,000 with gallons produced more maple syrup.   Canada is the largest maple syrup producing country in the world.

New York’s increase was 10% more than 2008’s production output.  Dry conditions in the North Country and a quick warming season limited what would have been an even larger crop.  The sugar content in the sap was lower than in 2008.  Syrup color was 45% dark, 46% medium, and 9% light. 

New York’s 1.51 million taps produce enough sap to account for almost 15.6% of the maple syrup made in the United States.  That averages out to 0.240 gallons of syrup for every tap in the state with an average cost per gallon of syrup at $42.40. 

The final value of the 2008 crop is estimated at $13.907 million, a huge increase of 55% from the year before.  The economic impact of maple production in New York State is estimated $55.6 million in 2008.  The USDA will release 2009 crop values in June of 2010.
