Beer Festival Returns to Secaucus on Feb 3

70+ Breweries to Gather for NJ’s Biggest Pre-Game


Weiss BeerThe biggest names in brewing are gathering once again on February 3, 2018 for the 8th Annual Great Beer Expo, selected as one of the “TOP TEN NJ EXPOS” by BestOfNJ.com in 2016. This pay-one-price beer tasting extravaganza will showcase more than 70 breweries—hometown Jersey favorites like River Horse, award-winning American craft breweries like Dogfish Head and Allagash, and international trend-setters—more than 150 beers in all. The Expo will be held at the Meadowlands Exposition Center 355 Plaza Drive in Secaucus, NJ 07094.  The Expo offers two sessions, afternoon (12:30-4:00pm) and evening (5:30-9:00pm).  Tickets are on sale now and another sell out is expected.

Led by industry innovators, this year’s event will also offer free beer seminars covering topics as varied as: Pairing Food with Beer; Beer & Coffee: The Perfect Pair; and What’s New in the Jersey Beer Scene. A special area dedicated to Valentine’s Day will feature beers that are brewed with chocolate or brewed with malts that produce a delicious chocolate essence. 

“The Great Beer Expo offers beer enthusiasts a unique pay-one-price opportunity to try some amazing craft beers from local, national, and international breweries,” said Andy Calimano, owner of event producer, Starfish Junction.  “We are expecting this year to be our best yet and we’re trending for another sold-out event.  Some really great beer comes out of the local Jersey breweries, we will be featuring these and other stand-outs at the festival,” added Calimano.
