Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown 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, taking place Saturday, May 21st at Lewis Morris Park-Doe Meadow Field in Morristown, NJ.

This festival features New Jersey-only craft beer, restaurants, chefs and food trucks, with a mouth-watering array of BBQ & bacon creations available for purchase.

20 great New Jersey breweries will be in attendance, each pouring 3 styles of beer (and one of these styles will either a rare beer or a brew specifically created for the festival!).

The Beer BBQ Bacon Showdown will take place outdoors & under tents. Attendees will also enjoy fabulous live music from New Jersey’s own The Nerds: America’s Party Band FUN-OMENON!

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 12pm – 1pm and will feature a meet & greet with the Brewers, Pitmasters & Chefs, first access to rare & special beers and a delicious buffet prepared by Morristown’s own Tim “The Brew Chef” Schafer. The buffet is exclusive to VIP ticket holders.

Both VIP and General Admission ticket holders will enjoy unlimited samples of beer, a mason jar mug and People’s Choice Ballot.
