TAP-NY

 Over 4,000 people flocked to Hunter Mountain this weekend for this year's TAP-NY.  The annual beer festival has become the biggest of its kind in New York, with over 30 breweries and 26 vendors and specialists attending.  The big winner of the day was Ithaca Beer Company, which took the F.X. Matt Memorial Cup for the best craft brewery in New York State, as well as the honors of the top two beers in the state.  Ithaca's Flower Power IPA took the Silver Medal and Ithaca Ten took the gold.
