Welcome to Manhattan's St. Joseph Parish

Our community is located in the heart of the Manhattan. Each year we host our Annual Pints and Pork Challenge. You are invited to enjoy a sampling of the best craft beers, delicious BBQ, raffles, split the pot, live music on a fun fall evening. 

Chicagoland's Best Craft Breweries

If there is one thing that South Siders do very well, it's brew beer. Finding the perfect pint begins right here. The Pints & Pork Challenge gathers the best cutting-edge craft brewers around, guaranteeing you will have a great time at the event! 

Thank You for Your Service!

Pints & Pork 

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.
