Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown

During this Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown, 30 all-New Jersey breweries will be showcasing three styles of craft brews from their menu, be they IPA’s, lagers, stouts, or signature brews. One of the three styles is a rare or specially created brew for this event. As guests travel from one booth to another to sample the festival of all-NJ beers, they need not fear the inevitable munchies. Restaurants and gourmet-style food trucks stand at the ready with (you guessed it) their signature barbecue and/or bacon creations. A panel of celebrity judges will decide whose sweet meats reign supreme over the festival, along with a People’s Choice Award for best dish and best beer. The event will take place outdoors and under tents, with some fantastic Music! This is destined to become a New Jersey Spring classic.
