On Saturday, Jan. 27, the 9th annual Beer, Bourbon, & BBQ Festival is making its way to the Big Apple.
This year, visitors will receive a souvenir tasting glass that will permit them to sample 60-plus beers and 40-plus bourbons while chowing down on limitless barbecue.

Throughout the day, there will be tastings from the event’s own pit masters as well as from some of local restaurants. The menu will include pulled pork, ribs, briskets, and “any fixin’ you could imagine.”
The menu is as follows:
