On Thursday evenings from February 21st to March 14th, the craft beer craze will take over Brookfield Place – the shopping, dining and office complex on the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan – for the second time as the iconic Winter Garden transforms into a classic biergarten that showcases 15 of New York’s top breweries from Upstate New York, Long Island, and New York City at the Best Brews of New York. Each week from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the Winter Biergarten will highlight local breweries’ craft offerings and food from Brookfield Place’s top eateries, with all beer sales benefitting Brookfield Place’s charitable partner, Habitat for Humanity.

Visitors will be invited to cast their vote for their favorite brew to determine which five breweries will make it to the final round on Thursday, March 14th. The People’s Choice winner will be decided by the event’s attendees, guided by New York State’s notable beer connoisseur, Anne Becerra.
