October 22, 2017 @ 2:00 pm - 5:30 pm
$65 – $75
From the organizers:
The New York State Assembly has proclaimed October 16-22 ‘New York Rye Week.’ This ancient grain has an important place in New York’s history beginning with its cultivation in the both the Dutch and English colonial eras.
Join us as we celebrate this historic and versatile grain, used for making rye flour, rye beer, and rye whiskey(!), which, for hundreds of years, enjoyed a prominent place in New York agriculture.
An all-rye afternoon of fun. Rye music, rye beers, rye whiskey and Ragtime music. The legendary Hometown Barbecue will roast 2 heirloom pigs, specially sourced from the Coppersea farm distillery (provider to Stone Barns, Eataly and others) which were raised on spent grains from Rye Whiskey distilling.
