BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Grab a pint and get your fix of brews and beats at Bed-Stuy’s annual drink festival this August.

Tap+Cork: Brooklyn Beer & Wine Fest returns for a third year with an expanded two-day celebration.

The weekend kicks off on Aug. 14 with a series of “Tap Night Out” events at area businesses, with the vendor fair set for Restoration Plaza on Aug. 15.

At least 45 varieties of craft beers and artisanal wines will be available, as well as food from nearby eateries and bars, according to Tap+Cork creative director Tai Allen.

Local businesses helping to curate cuisine and drinks include Bread Love, Breukelen Cellars and Daddy Green’s.

The festival is also bringing back its Bad Boy vs. Roc-A-Fella music theme, featuring tunes from Jay Z, Notorious B.I.G., and notable artists from each record label.

“It’s good music, good food and good beverages,” Allen said.

Organizers are hoping to expand the event to four days in coming years, he added.

Tickets cost $20 in advance/$30 at the door and include admission, a sampling cup, and 15 vouchers for 3 oz. tastings of beer and wine.
