About the Festival

Inspired by unique pairings between chefs and mixologists, Bacon Beer and Bourbon celebrates the best seasonal beers, batch bourbon cocktails, and smells and tastes of pork-forward chef creations. We focus on bold, rich flavours that elevate any guest’s BBQ season in an ode to the sun gods.

Bacon Beer and Bourbon was founded to provide a festival dedicated to an adult fair that won’t break the bank. Our focus is creating an interactive environment that plays off an Americana theme. Come for an ice-cold beer, a batch cocktail, and a taste of bacon but leave with a memory, a smile, and a laugh.

Theme

“Each festival takes place in a locale supporting the best outdoor living. Through the lens of an Americana theme, guests can explore both raw and refined tastes of bourbon and beer along with exciting bacon-forward food offerings. Each festival includes a cocktail competition for mixologists and a Best Use of Bacon” prize for participating chefs.”
