ABOUT
Richmond County Craft Beer Fest (RCCBF) happens on October 22, 2011 at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark in St George, a meticulously kept stadium with a view of Manhattan and the New York City harbor as a backdrop. RCCBF features craft breweries from the region and beyond. It partners with over two dozen top Staten Island food venues, fitted with a particular brew. Guests are treated to music by two homegrown bands, The Bandulos and Stout.
Guest will also get an up-close look at “Brewing as Art” a working steampunk sculpture by local home-brewer Mark Zappasodi and metal sculptor Scott Van Campen.
This is a SAMPLING event. Food and drink samples from participating breweries and food venues are included in the admission price, and each venue will have edibles and items for sale as well. (We’ll supply a complimentary shopping bag!) Guests are welcome to picnic on the Richmond County Bank Ballpark itself.
There will be a home-brewing competition held in “THE MALT SHED” where local home-brewers compete for a $1000 grand prize and the honor of being named best home-brew of the inaugural Richmond County Craft Beer Fest.
