    Boulevardia Announces Brewery Lineup for 2023 Taps & Tastes

    Posted March 8, 2023

    Organizers of Boulevardia announced today the lineup of breweries for the festival’s annual "Taps & Tastes" beer and food sampling event. This fan-favorite event will once again take place indoors at the Crown Center Exhibition Hall on Saturday, June 17, during the festival. Ticketholders for the exclusive experience will be able to sample beers from 47 participating breweries and sample bites from several local restaurants.

    "Taps & Tastes is one the most exciting parts of Boulevardia each year and we are thrilled to welcome nearly 50 breweries to this year’s event," said Casey Lanelli, Boulevardia president. "The list of breweries for Taps & Tastes is carefully curated by the team at Boulevard to create an exciting and diverse mix of the industry’s leading breweries."

    Attendees can choose from two different ticket options. A general admission ticket is currently available for $85, allowing patrons three hours to sample beers and bites from local restauranteurs (2-5 p.m.), while participants who opt for the early admission ticket get one extra hour of sampling (1-5 p.m.) for $125. Both ticket options include unlimited beer and food sampling, a commemorative tasting glass and admission to the festival on Saturday.
