HVNY News + Notes (2/5/24)
TAP NY for 2024 is kicked: “With heavy hearts we are canceling Tap NY 2024 due to creative differences between Tap NY and Bethel Woods,” organizers of the award-doling beer fest said over the weekend. A new location is being scouted for 2025, and though organizers hear patrons’ “calls to return to Hunter. However, leaving Hunter was not our decision. The new owners of Hunter canceled all 3rd party events in 2020. Although we would be open to returning, we don’t think it’s an option.” 2024 refunds for vendors and guests will be handled by Bethel Woods.
