Give the Gift of Craft Beverages & Winter Fun This Holiday Season.
Ocean City, MD — The holidays just got a lot more exciting. This year, skip the socks and sweaters — treat your friends, family, or yourself to the ultimate craft-beverage experience at Love on Tap 2026 by Shore Craft Beer. Happening Saturday, February 21, 2026 at Seacrets,Jamaica USA, this lively celebration brings together dozens of local and regional breweries and distilleries, live music, and a festive vibe that’s perfect for a winter getaway or a gift that keeps on giving. Tickets are available now at ShoreCraftBeerFest.com. SHORE CRAFT BEER and festival organizers are encouraging early holiday purchases as a unique experiential gift for friends, family, coworkers, and craft beer enthusiasts.
A Holiday Gift That Stands Out
Love on Tap 2026 offers attendees three hours of unlimited tastings from local and regional breweries, along with hard seltzers, RTD cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. VIP ticket holders receive early entry, extended tasting time, and a special VIP gift. Everybody will get a commemorative pint glass to enjoy for years to come.
The event also features live entertainment throughout the venue. Seacrets, Jamaica USA is central to the festival experience. Seacrets is listed as one of the “must-sees” in Ocean City and now you can combine the fun with a winter craft beverage and live music festival! “Seacrets is excited to welcome festival-goers back for Love on Tap,” said Bailey Phillips, Marketing Director at Seacrets “Morley Hall will be rocking with Elephants Dancing, and our Main Bar will host an additional band to keep the energy high throughout the afternoon. It’s one of the best winter events in Ocean City, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
