Saturday, October 25th, is the Second Annual PIGSTEIN BBQ & BEER FEST. Last year’s event was a good time for all with fine music and great North Carolina BBQ and an extensive sampling of some of the finest Breweries in the world.
“Pigstein is a full scale beer festival with breweries from around the world pouring more than 100 beers. It is a celebration of beer, barbeque and the Outer Banks” – to quote the website for the ongoing annual event.
October is a beautiful time to enjoy our Outer Banks with mild weather and no summer bustle! There will be a full day of live music, comedy and fun activities for the whole family – and the proceeds go to support the Dare Home Health and Hospice.
Representatives from the many breweries will be here to answer questions and serve samples (of course) beginning at 2:00 PM on through 6:00 PM. BBQ pit masters from around North Carolina will start their roasting to be prepared for the judges who begin at 11:00 on Saturday.
Tickets for the event are $30 for the General Session from 2:00 – 6:00 PM. If you want the finer approach – a VIP Tasting Session begins at 1:00 PM on through 2:00 PM. All tickets include a Collectible Pigstein tasting glass for the ability to taste 2 ounces of more than 100 beers. BBQ will be sold by the sandwich ($5) or plate ($7). Tickets are required for the Pigstein. They are not required for the BBQ which can be purchased at the event.
This is another example of our local business people putting together a wonderful fun event to raise funs for a great and needy cause. My compliments, to Chips Wine & Beer along with their partner - High Cotton Barbecue for their hard work in bringing this caliber of event to ad to the Fall Schedule of Festivities celebrating the Outer Banks at its best.
You need to GET UP, GET OUT and JOIN IN and have some fun, taste some of the best BBQ that NC has to offer and certainly last but not least – an opportunity to learn more and enjoy some of the world’s finest brews.
As always, the Outer Banks will not tolerate drinking and driving – nor should they. The event is being held at the Promenade at the foot of the Wright Memorial Bridge in Kitty Hawk. Cabs are at your service and as always “friends don’t let friends drive drunk”!!
Beer, BBQ and Music - oh my. Sounds like an awesome mix of events. Enjoy.
