RECAP | Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival 2024 in Cary, NC @beerbourbonbbq @drinkeatrelax

Cary, NC was the place to be this weekend for the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival!

I attended both Friday August 2nd & Saturday August 3rd sessions (see IG reel: here & here) and it was a great 2️⃣ days of beer sippin’, bourbon tastin’, music listenin’, cigar smokin’, and barbeque eatin’. It’s a fun event that everyone should add to their go-to list!

Back for its 16th year, this event is held at the Koka Booth Amphitheater , which is a lovely outside venue with beautiful lake views and plenty of space to sit on the grass if you choose. No matter if it rains or shines, they still go on with the event! Guests received:

🍺 A Souvenir Glass to enjoy All You Care To Taste Beer and Bourbon Tastings as you stroll from table to table.

♨️ BBQ Galore! A great barbeque selection from the various vendors onsite – pulled pork from whole hogs, ribs, brisket, chickens, sausages and all the fixins’ you can imagine! (I recommend going VIP on Friday, which includes a BBQ Dinner plate)

🐖 The SHRINE OF SWINE is back! Enjoy whole hogs during each session.

🥃 Enjoy seminars in the Tasting Theater with Master Distillers & Brewmasters

😃 GAME IT: The Cochon Carnival is loaded with fun activities and games to keep everyone challenged. Connect four, giant jenga, cornhole, and more……

💃🏻 DANCE: Listen To Live Rock & Blues Music and great Bluegrass on The Main Stage.

🛍️ SHOP: Browse Cool Exhibits of Brewerania, Hot sauces, BBQ accessories, cookware and more!

Plus, what makes this event better each year is that there are always a few surprises!

91 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. It’s the first day in August in the triangle. Let’s go to a festival. Not just ANY festival but the Beer Bourbon and BBQ Festival at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, Nc. Thousands showed up to enjoy the party. Samples and samples of beer and bourbon and even some free samples of BBQ were spread around the scenic acres of land. Upon entry we were greeted by a huge and very roasted whole pig being carved up to sample. It was so fresh, steam was still rising from it!

On the main stage they had a great band and also various contests like who had the biggest beer belly and which girl can drink the fastest beer with a straw!
Bean Bag throwing games were lakeside as were turtles and ducks frolicking. You could purchase BBQ throughout the venue from the famous and not so famous BBQ restaurants. All were serving up world class food to go with the world class drinks! If you missed it this year, put in in your calendar for next year !

All in all a great day for Beer, Bourbon and BBQ !

Enjoy the slide show and photos highlighting this fun event!
