If you’re at a craft brewery and not a brewpub that serves food, there’s a good chance that there’s a food truck nearby. Small breweries and mobile eateries seem to be the perfect pairing, so much so that craft-beer and food-truck events are popping up across the country. Here are 16 craft-beer and food-truck festivals to savor in 2016.
Chew and Brew
April 16
This food truck + craft beer festival will take place at the Sea Walk Pavilion in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. It will feature Jacksonville Beach’s top food trucks, a large selection of beers, activities and crafts for all ages, a free concert, and games. This event is free. Register here.
Front Range Rally
May 28
Here’s a festival celebrating the emergence of Colorado craft breweries and quality mobile food vendors. In 2015, Front Range Rally boasted 63 craft breweries that served 169 beers, and 13 food vendors. All net proceeds from the festival go directly to Food Bank for Larimer County. This year’s event will take place at the Loveland Food Share in Loveland, Colorado (not to be confused with Loveland Pass). Tickets are $40, $60 for VIP, and an additional $20 to attend a panel about India Pale Ale led by local brewers. Buy tickets here.
