2017 Rochester Real Beer Expo taplist

Will Cleveland | Democrat and Chronicle

The Rochester Real Beer Expo is craft beer nirvana.

You aren't here for my words, you're here for this list. I'm not gonna bore you with a big, long spiel. But expect a preview, with my picks, in the next few days (both online and in print).

(The preceding paragraph was stolen directly from what I wrote last year. It is merely to show you that no one will read this part and will jump right to the list of beers. As you should.)

The Expo is the highlight of Rochester Real Beer Week, which runs June 9-18. And this year's event, slated for Saturday, June 10, promises to be fantastic.

(Don't sleep on the Expo. Tickets available here. Tickets will sell out.)
