Attendees can enjoy tastings of over 150 styles of craft beer from more than 60 breweries, showcasing the best brews from across the state.

Crafted in Carolina will also feature live music, food, an artisan market, and a family-friendly zone with activities for children. Educational sessions like “Craft Beer 101” and “Beer Across America,” will be held twice during the festival.
