Taking a break from the cold, many folks enjoyed the warm ambience, food and drink from inside the former firehouse turned brewery.
The air was cold but the sun was shining last Saturday, huge crowds of people turned out at the Roscoe Beer Company for their 4th annual Winterfest celebration.
Attendees enjoyed Roscoe Beer Company’s award winning brews while listening to live music by Hillbilly Parade. There was a live ice carving demonstration by Stump Devils, as well as games and horse-drawn carriage rides.
“It was a great day and we had a great time with everyone,” said Director of Marketing and Events Shannon Feeney “We were thrilled to have so many people come out on such a cold day, the weather didn’t seem to stop anyone from enjoying themselves. We had over 2,000 people attend this year and can not wait to make next years Winterfest bigger and better!”
Roscoe Beer Co., which launched in 2013 with its famous Trout Town American Amber Ale, announced last year that they were expanding their distribution territory to the northern part of the state. Now New Yorkers from Long Island to the Canadian border can enjoy this locally crafted brew.
2018 was a banner year for Roscoe Beer Co., winning two gold medals for their Trout Town Brown Ale, one in the brown ale category and the other in the New York State beer category — which celebrates beers that use at least 20 percent state-grown ingredients.
Roscoe Beer Co. hopes to continue that winning tradition into 2019 and beyond.
“The best part for us is bringing so many people into our town and working with our fellow businesses for the day, we have great neighbors and friends in our little town. Everyone can mark their calendars for next year – Winterfest returns every year the last Saturday in January,” said Feeney
