BBQ from Locally-Raised Pork

You haven't tasted "farm fresh" until you've come to the Pints & Pork BBQ Challenge. Every team will prepare pork from an Illinois farm. As you visit each team's booth and sample their craft beer and BBQ, you, too, will be challenged when deciding how to vote.

We are excited to announce our new date for the 2022 Pints & Pork Challenge!
