The Patchogue-based Blue Point Brewing Cask Ales Festival returns Saturday, Nov. 2, from 2-6 p.m. This year marks the 20th year of the festival for Blue Point Brewing Company, now a subsidiary of Tilray Brands.

In addition to beer tastings, there will be food trucks as well as live music by The Warped Tour Band, Krush, and DJ Kaution, and other entertainment.

“It was truly a labor of love that sparked this event—cask ales have always been something we produced and were passionate about,” Mark Burford, founder of Blue Point Brewing Company, said in a news release about the festival.

“Now, for two decades, the Cask Ales Festival has become a cornerstone of our community, providing the most diverse beer selection and festive attitude in one place, bringing folks back year after year to celebrate,” Burford added.

Festival goers will have the chance to choose from more than 150 firkin-style beers – from rare offerings to fan favorites – from various breweries. Eight local food trucks will be on the premises, as well as a 20-vendor market filled with local crafts and goods. Interactive activities are to include jousting, skateboarding demos and more.

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit both Long Island Cares, to support hunger relief, and Seatuck, to support environmental conservation efforts. More information about the festival, and tickets, is available here.
