Vermont Business Magazine It’s time to fire up the grill and grab a pint as Harpoon Brewery hosts its annual Harpoon BBQ Fest. Taking place at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, VT, 25+ teams will go head-to-head to see who can bring the best chicken, pork, brisket, and ribs to the picnic table.

Harpoon Brewery invites fans to join them on Saturday, July 23rd and Sunday, July 24th to enjoy live music and delicious craft beer, hard seltzer, and hard cider offerings, all while chowing down on championship BBQ made by competing teams from across the region.

Those attending Saturday’s BBQ Competition will receive a ballot upon entry, voting on their favorite teams for the best dishes in each category.

Sunday’s BBQ Competition will be professionally judged by the Kansas City BBQ Society – guests are invited to watch a Grand Champion get crowned, who will also be invited to the Jack Daniels World BBQ Championships this October in Lynchburg, TN.
