Craft & Cork/Regional beer and wine
Discovery, with distinction.
Meet regional makers, explore beer and wine, and find something worth seeking out again.
Beer and wine, one mark
One family. Three ways to discover.
Choose your next way to discover.
Each part of Craft & Cork does one job well, and each one leads to the next.
Discover your region, by the glass.
A curated afternoon with regional breweries and wineries. The inaugural Festival arrives in Chicago in 2027. Meet the makers, taste something new and find your next favorite.
Find what is worth seeking out.
A year-round guide to beers, wines and the people who make them across 14 U.S. regions, with useful details and a clear next step.
An earned distinction.
Independent recognition of specific beers and wines, selected blind by category-specific panels. The first Crowns will be awarded at the 2027 Festival.
How discovery continues
Good discoveries do not end with the last pour.
Find a favorite.
Taste at the Festival, or start in the Guide with a style or place you already enjoy.
Festival →Meet its maker.
Learn who made it, where, and with what. Ask a question at the station or plan a visit.
Producers in the Guide →Keep exploring.
Save it, find it again near you, and follow the next discovery it leads to.
Explore the Guide →From the Journal
Taste with more confidence.
Plain-language guides to styles, grapes, labels, pairing and planning a tasting.
“There is a difference between tasting something new and finding something you want to return to.”
Craft & Cork is built around that second moment: the producer you want to visit, the beer you want to find again, the wine you want to share.
