A must for this summer’s to-do list, the award-winning North Fork Craft Beer Festival returns to Long Island’s North Fork on August 8, 2015, in Calverton, Long Island, and Imbibe is excited to be a sponsor. Bringing together more than 50 world-class breweries, the festival showcases a broad range of nationally recognized craft beer industry leaders as well as many of Long Island’s award-winning hometown favorites.

For beer geek types, the festival features beer seminars where attendees can learn more about beer styles, current beer scene trends and brewing methods. This year’s lineup includes topics such as:

  • Cellaring Beer—Learn from experts about which beers get better with age and which to drink now.
  • Beer & Chocolate Pairing—Beer and chocolate lovers unite as the owner of Parfections Chocolate takes you through a tasting featuring three chocolate and beer pairings.

New this year, food trucks are making an appearance with a variety of great options. Celebrity chef Gail Chandler of On The Scene Cuisine food truck will be serving up her creative southern Italian gourmet treats. You can also expect to see Nice Buns, Slammin’ Sliders, Grill Boys and Noah’s On The Road, to name a few.
