Brooklyn’s premier beer and wine fest just got a makeover. Tap+Cork: Brooklyn Beer & Wine Fest returns this year with a new date and a new location. More than 1,7000 festival-goers are expected to take over Brooklyn’s iconic Kings Theatre on Saturday, August 10, 2019 for the day-long event which combines the experience of grand tastings with a block party atmosphere.
Produced by Arts+Crafts, Inc., this will mark Tap+Cork’s seventh annual event (including its 2018 Tap Harlem Fest) catering to beer and wine aficionados. Now back in Brooklyn, attendees will once again be able to sip and sample their way through 60+ craft beer and artisanal wine selections while enjoying tasty treats and eats from local food vendors.
Featured breweries and wineries include Sugar Hill Beer, Rhythm Brew, Dyckman Brewery, KCBC, Brooklyn Brewery, Owl’s Brew, Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer, Mouton Noir, Miolo Wines, Brown Estate Winery, 14 Hands Winery, Brooklyn Winery, and Taron Wines.
The festivities have also expanded to include a limited number of small-batch spirits, including HH Bespoke Spirits, Kings County, Human Brands, and Cremas Absalon.
The day’s festivities will take place in King’s Theatre’s outdoor courtyard and inside its massive lobby. There will also be live musical performances and sounds provided by DJ CEO, DJ Christopher Sealey, Dot Ichiro, and special guests.
“It’s cool to see how what was once perceived as unusual here in Brooklyn has now become the norm,” said Tai Allen, creative director of Arts+Crafts & Tap+Cork. “I am excited to have this continued opportunity to present an event that offers up block party vibes while helping to support local hospitality businesses and commerce.”
Tap+Cork: Brooklyn Beer & Wine Fest takes place Saturday, August 10, 2-8pm at Kings Theatre, located at 1027 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
