The 14th Annual Saratoga Beer Summit takes place Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the Saratoga Springs City Center. The indoor winter beer festival offers craft beverage enthusiasts the opportunity to sample over 130 beers, ciders, seltzers, and malt drinks from more than 65 breweries and beverage providers. The event features two main sampling sessions: 1 PM to 4 PM and 5 PM to 8 PM, with an early entry option allowing guests to begin at noon.
Tickets feature all-in pricing — the price you see is what you pay. The Saratoga Beer Summit is part of Saratoga Beer Week and has become a beloved winter tradition in the Saratoga Springs community.
The Saratoga Beer Summit was launched in 2013 as part of Saratoga Beer Week, a celebration of the Capital Region's craft beverage scene. Produced by Townsquare Media, the event was designed to bring together dozens of breweries under one roof during the cold Upstate New York winter, giving beer lovers a reason to venture out when the weather is at its least inviting.
Saratoga Springs, famous for its horse racing, natural springs, and cultural scene, provided the perfect setting. The Saratoga Springs City Center on Broadway offers a spacious indoor venue that transforms into a massive sampling hall each February. Over 14 years, the event has grown from a local gathering to one of the most anticipated craft beer events in Upstate New York, now featuring over 130 samples from more than 65 breweries and beverage providers.
The two-session format — afternoon (1-4 PM) and evening (5-8 PM) — allows the organizers to manage capacity while giving attendees an intimate tasting experience. The early entry option adds a premium tier for serious enthusiasts who want an extra hour to explore the offerings before the main crowd arrives. All-in pricing keeps things simple — the ticket price covers everything with no hidden fees.
