This is a great time of the year. So much going on, and the holiday season is here through the end of the year. Or maybe it's that time of year that you wish would zip by quickly for whatever reason.

For me, it depends on what's going on in my life at the time. Some years, I'm really into the holiday season, some years, I'd just as soon get it over with. Last year was one of those years, mostly because I ended up with the coronavirus during the holiday season. That wasn't fun.

Either way, once the ball drops on New Year's Eve and we begin the long journey of reaching spring, what is there to keep us from going stir crazy? Well, we have one thing that might get you out of the winter doldrums. We've decided to have a winter version of Binghamton On Tap.

Our summer version at the Broome County Fairgrounds was a lot of fun, so we decided mid-winter would be a great time to bring it back. This time, we'll be back in the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel on Water Street, Binghamton on Saturday, February 19th, 2022.

And we'll have three sessions for you to choose from - the popular VIP session which gets you four hours of tasting, or one of two regular sessions. Both sessions include your souvenir tasting glass. In addition to an extra hour of beer sampling, the VIP session gets you a commemorative hat and a food voucher as well.

As always, we'll have live music entertainment, many vendors selling cool stuff, food to purchase, and a room full of beer vendors to taste all those amazing types of beer. Tickets go on sale on Black Friday, November 26th. We'll have the link set up for you on trading from our website and our mobile app.

Mark November 26th on your calendar to purchase your tickets. Ticket prices go up as we get closer to the event. And remember, this would make for a great holiday gift for that beer lover in your life.
