CNY Beer Week Creates Opportunity for Local Restaurants CNY Beer Week Creates Opportunity For Local Restaurants

Beer Belly Deli and Pub continues its participation in C-N-Y Beer Week with an event later today.
The event features beer from Buried Acorn Brewing Company.

Taylor Wollman is a new addition to a revamped restaurant ownership group.

Wollman explains the events are all about the reoccurring customers.

“Our customers are used to certain beers on the menu.

So, in order to kinda open them up and give them a new-a chance to try some of the local beers, this is like the perfect week to do that.”

Each night Beer Belly Deli puts two beers on tap from a featured brewery.

Wollman said the breweries are competing for longevity at his restaurant.

“I’m gonna be talking to everybody.

Asking them if they like the beer. Seeing what they like the most.

I’ll be looking at what sales does the best and I’ll compare it to our other beers we have on tap.”

Restaurants like Beer Belly Deli are holding C-N-Y Beer Week events throughout the week.

Other restaurants like Riley’s chose to only hold one event.

Riley’s hosts its annual C-N-Y Beer week event tonight with business partner Middle Ages Brewing Company.

A new change to this year’s beer week is breweries and restaurants can co-host events directly without a third party.

Riley’s owner Terry Riley did not hold any extra events with different breweries this year.

He does however enjoy the benefit of his one event with Middle Ages.

“It’s good publicity for us you know. Sometimes guys are up there who’ve never been here before, you know.”

C-N-Y Beer Week continues through Sunday. Reporting in Syracuse, I’m Andrew Rubino, N-C-C News.
