Beverages Galore
What would a culinary event be without drinks? The beverage lineup promises to be as delectable as the food. You can enjoy an array of beers from Yuengling, featuring Traditional Lager, Light Lager, Flight, and Bock. For those preferring a cocktail, Jim Beam Black cocktails—think Kentucky Mule and Highball—will also be available to perfectly complement those flavorsome bites.
