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.

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.
