Press Release:
The Garden State has long been a home to fantastic food (yes, including BBQ) and nationally-recognized craft beer. The time has finally come for a festival to celebrate our Jersey Pride!
Get set for the Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown (aka B3), taking place Saturday, November 7 at Waterloo Village Concert Field in Stanhope, NJ.
This is the FIRST festival to feature New Jersey-only craft beer, restaurants, food trucks and chefs, with a mouth-watering array of BBQ & bacon creations available for purchase.
20 great New Jersey breweries will be in attendance, each pouring 4 styles of beer (and one of these styles will either a rare beer or a brew specifically created for the festival!).
B3 will take place outdoors & under tents. Attendees will also enjoy fabulous live music from 2 great NJ bands: the Acoustic Alt-Country Blues-Rock sounds of Stepping Stone and high energy covers from Mr. Lovejoy.
And to add to the all-Jersey excitement, there will be a competition to showcase culinary skills, with a panel of NJ celebrity judges choosing the best of the best, along with People’s Choice awards for Best Dish & Best Beer.
The VIP Hour (sponsored by New Jersey Craft Beer) takes place from 1pm – 2pm and will feature a meet & greet with the Brewers, Pitmasters & Chefs, first access to rare & special beers and appetizer samplings prepared by Tim “The Brew Chef” Schafer.
Both VIP and General Admission ticket holders will enjoy unlimited samples of beer, a mason jar mug and People’s Choice Ballot.
Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown is truly a one-of-a-kind New Jersey event. There is no other festival with NJ-only craft beer and food. Don’t miss a chance to celebrate the best of New Jersey!
