The Popular New York Brewery Opens Montauk Brew Barn and Launches its Iconic Craft Brews at New York’s Most Popular Racing Venues
NEW YORK, NY — June 7, 2023 — Montauk Brewing Company (“Montauk Brewing” or “Montauk”), the #1 and fastest-selling craft brewer in Metro New York according to Nielson data[1] known for its exceptional craft beers and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), today announced a partnership with both Belmont Park for the 2023 Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, and Saratoga Race Course – the most popular racing meet in North America – for the 2023 racing season. Montauk will have branded spaces within Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course to feature several of their top-selling craft beers to thousands of fans. The Montauk Brew Barn at Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course will build off the brand’s original Brew Barn space in the heart of Montauk, New York.
Following the success of Montauk’s Brew Barn at Citi Field, Montauk intends on building the Brew Barn name for new experiential opportunities for fans. Montauk’s brews are now available at the Montauk Brew Barn, on the third floor of Belmont Park during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, June 8-10, and at Belmont Park through the conclusion of the spring and summer meet on July 9, 2023. At the Saratoga Race Course and in partnership with local distributor, Saratoga Eagle, Montauk will be featured in the backyard and within the Taste NY Pavilion, reserved exclusively for New York producers, among various on-track locations. The summer racing season in Saratoga Springs, NY, goes underway on July 13 and runs through Labor Day.
“As a New York brand, the partnerships with Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course are that much more exciting for us,” said Ty Gilmore, president of U.S. Beer at Tilray. “We invite both Montauk fans and future Montauk fans to come as they are and enjoy their favorite beers at some of their favorite summer events.”
Montauk Brewing is also the presenting sponsor of Toast, a craft beer festival featuring 15 New York craft breweries, held on Belmont Stakes Day, Saturday, June 10. This year will mark the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown, and the 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s legendary performance.
“Nothing says summer in New York like sipping on a cold Montauk brew during race day at Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course,” said Gilmore. “These storied venues are rich in horse racing history and are so important to the regional culture here in New York. Montauk is grateful to be a part of that history."
Belmont Park, situated at 2150 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont, NY, celebrates world class racing and entertainment and has provided fans with some of the most exciting moments in sports history. From Secretariat’s spellbinding 31-length victory in 1973 to American Pharoah successfully ending a 37-year Triple Crown drought in 2015, the Belmont Stakes is engrained in the consciousness of sports fans around the world. Additionally, Saratoga Race Course, located at 267 Union Ave, Saratoga Springs, NY, draws nearly 1.1 million fans to the venue every year during its 40-day season where Montauk craft brews will be available throughout.
