Delve into the best of craft beers -- not to mention ciders and meads -- at the NYC Craft Beer Festival. This showcase of brewing and fermentation takes place inside the Lexington Avenue Armory, where you can savor unlimited samples of 150 beverages from 75 different breweries around the country with a focus on seasonal and limited-edition selections. It's more than just a tasting event -- you can also choose to get schooled on what ingredients appeal to you most at the Sense Lab, attend an educational seminar with industry leaders and enjoy one-on-one discussions with craft-beer experts. At the end of this day of sampling suds, you'll even go home with a souvenir tasting glass. VIP ticket holders get early entry into the event.
