Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival Returns To NYC This Summer

The 11th Annual Beer, Bourbon & BBQ festival is returning to NYC for one hellacious day of beer drinking, bourbon sipping, and barbecue on Saturday, July 31. The event, that was held every January at the Tunnel in West Chelsea, is moving across the River to the Brooklyn Expo Center, providing more indoor and outdoor space for social distancing.

Attendees can experience the Shrine of Swine as well as enjoy seminars presented by Master Distillers, Brewmasters, and Pit Masters from the deep South. Sponsored by Bulleit Bourbon and The William Vale Brooklyn, Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival is being put on by Drink Eat Relax Events which produces unique experiences throughout the East Coast including Vintage Virginia Wine & Food and Chesapeake Oyster Wine and Beer Festival. A portion of all proceeds will benefit Spirit of Hope Children’s Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization that provides support and promotes education for children and adults with mental or physical disabilities.
