Out & About Magazine and Downtown Newark Partnership again team up to host what has become a summer tradition: the 11th annual Downtown Newark Food and Brew Festival. The event on July 26 showcases more than 40 craft and imported beers paired with creative food offerings from 17 of Newark’s restaurants. Unlike most beer festivals, this event takes place in the restaurants. Travel from restaurant to restaurant to sample the featured brews and tasty dishes designed to spotlight the brews at that particular establishment. Tickets are not required. This is a pay-as-you-go event. All you need is your wallet and your state-issued ID. Celebrate the unique relationship between the culinary arts and the brewing sciences. newarkfoodandbrewfest.com
