Corks & Kegs is Washington County's premier craft beer festival and has become an annual statement for the tri-state region. This year the event is Aug. 26-27.

Offering a variety of beverages including sours, ciders, IPAs, ales, locally-made wine and regional spirits, anyone looking to sample new options will not be disappointed.
In addition to the libations, the event also offers dozens of food trucks, live entertainment, local shopping options and a classic car cruise, which happens on Sunday, Aug. 27.
