Third Annual Art of Beer

Photo Gallery 2009 Art of Beer

The Niagara Arts and Cultural Center is pleased to announce that the Third annual Art of Beer will take place on Friday, February 27, 2009 from 6 to 9 pm at the NACC.

The Art of Beer, which is a beer and food tasting event with live music, has proven to be the NACC’s premier annual fund raising event. The attendance is anticipated to be between 600 and 800 people far exceeding last year’s attendance of 400. We have significantly increased the attendance each year since the initial year in 2007 with approximately 200 attendees in that inaugural year.

In addition to excellent micro brewed beers and scrumptious food pairings there will be two live bands playing at the event. This year we have The Lakeside Blues Band and The Twigz performing alternating sets of music on two floors. We will also have an art sale and auction, as well as, a number of raffles with great prizes.

In the past we have had a cross section of beer and food vendors from the Western New York area, which included the following:

Mr. Good Bar is bringing 2 new Firkins.

Pearl Street Grille & Brewery

Shorty’s Sports Grille

Flying Bison Brewery

Consumer’s Beverage Orchard Grill

Buffalo Brew Pub The Brickyard

Southern Tier Brewery Mister B’s

Ellicottville Brew Company Antonio’s

Alternative Brews DiCamillo Bakery

Try It Distributing Buzzy’s Pizza

Certo Brothers Distributing Como Restaurant

This year we are looking to expand the list of both beer and food vendors since we are expanding the event to two floors due to the increase in anticipated attendance. Therefore we would greatly appreciate your help in continuing to make this our premier fundraising event and an incredibly enjoyable time for all those in attendance. Please do not hesitate to contact Bob Drozdowski at The NACC at 282-7530 for more information
