The food items are what makes Bacon Bourbon and Brew so well known. From Bourbon Bread Pudding to Chicken Fried Bacon with Gravy, we have it all. This year restaurants such as Delicio Coal Fired Pizza, Pompilios, Mck's Chicks and Ché will be serving up bacon, bourbon and beer related food options. Everything on the menu MUST include either Bacon Bourbon or brew, and most contain more than one of those! Each recipe was hand crafted and taste tested to ensure perfection.

The Bourbon Experience
Every year there is a tradition to celebrate Bourbon in the most creative way. This means we draw in the greatest Bourbon Experts we know and have them lead bourbon related activities such as Bourbon Trivia and Bourbon related Classes. The Bourbon Tents will have limited edition Bourbon options such as Jim Beam Master's Distiller's Masterpiece Sherry Cask, Knob Creek 15 Year, Jim Beam Signature Craft Limited Edition Collection High Rye, and more. There is also a Bourbon Bar featuring Bourbons such as Jim Beam Black, Jim Beam Double Oak, Jim Beam Rye, Knob Creek Small Batch and more with Mixers such as Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Ginger Ale, to name a few.
