Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival - Charlotte

Same great location as last year, at Ballantyne’s Backyard! It’s a beautiful setting for Charlotte’s Biggest, Baddest, Bone-In BBQ Festival – the Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival. This 17th Annual affair is back and ready for more - it offers up all those pleasures that true Southerners live by - Beer, Bourbon, Barbeque, Boots, Bacon, Biscuits, Bluegrass and Smoked Beasts! It's a great day of beer sippin', bourbon tastin', music listenin', cigar smokin' and barbeque eatin'. Your Admission buys you a souvenir glass so you can enjoy an ALL-YOU-CARE-TO-TASTE sampling of the beer and bourbon. The Shrine of Swine is back with whole hogs and maybe some other surprises during each session. There is a VIP Session from 12pm-6pm and a General Admission Session from 2pm-6pm. Enjoy Seminars in the Tasting Theater with Master Distillers, Brewmasters and Pit Masters. Dance or Rock out to the bands playing your favorite tunes throughout the day - 12:30pm-3pm: 'Dylan Fairchild' and 3:30pm-6pm: 'Chunky Daddy'. Enjoy yard games as you sample over 60 beers and over 40 bourbons. Browse and shop the brewerania, hot sauces and BBQ accessories from the many vendors on-site. There will be other delicious food from the food trucks and restaurants to purchase.
