Event pairs great food, smooth drinks and hot music March 24 at SteelStacks
BETHLEHEM, PA—It’s a night of smoky beef brisket and the sweet sounds of blues at SteelStacks for the all-new Bourbon & Barbeque Tasting at the Blast Furnace Blues Festival.
After selling out the first session of this culinary experience on March 23, ArtsQuest has added a second session of the event March 24, 6:30-8 p.m., in the Musikfest Café presented by Yuengling. Tickets are $50, and include admission to the festival, which features performances by Sugaray Rayford, Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington and The Fabulous Thunderbirds with Kim Wilson. They go on sale noon today at www.steelstacks.org and 610-332-3378, and are limited to the first 100 guests.
At the Bourbon & Barbeque Tasting, guests are invited to enjoy unlimited samplings of Cherry Wood Smoked Beef Brisket with Smokehouse Mac & Cheese; Mesquite & Black Pepper Rubbed Chicken Served over Braised Greens; and Slow Roasted BBQ Pork with House Slaw & Signature BBQ Sauce, along with samplings of Social Still’s bourbon and rum. Guests must be 21 years or older to attend.
Producing ultra-premium spirits in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, Social Still uses the finest raw materials available to create its small-batch spirits that rival the best in the world. Samples will include The Vault Bourbon, a nutty and malty variety aged in new white American casks, and Spice Rum, a 50-50 molasses and cane sugar blend that’s barrel aged for one year in used rye whiskey barrels and spiced with cinnamon, orange peel, vanilla and anise. Additional seasonal spirits will also be available.
