Glens Falls Brew Fest creates 'Taps & Apps' prequel

You've heard of "after parties," of course, but what about a "before party"? There's one coming up in Glens Falls.

It's a 50-ticket "Taps & Apps" event that will be held on Friday, March 31, the day before the annual Glens Falls Brewfest. It's a craft beer and seven-appetizer tasting put together by Mean Max Brew Works and the SUNY Adirondack culinary program. It will run from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Queensbury Hotel, 88 Ridge Street. Tickets are on sale now at Mean Max, 193 Glen Street.

Then, from 4 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 1, also at the Queensbury, the Glens Falls Brewfest will offer tastings of beers, wines and ciders from regional and and national producers although a list of participating makers has not yet been revealed. Tickets, available online, are $40 in advance and $50 at the door. Proceeds benefit Adirondack Theatre Festival and the Feeder Canal Alliance.

In addition to the beverages, live music will be provided, along with free food samples while supplies last from SUNY Adirondack, Davidson Brothers Restaurant & Brewery, 190 Grille + Cinema, Cooper's Cave Ale Company, Carl R's, and the host hotel.
