Pulled Porter Pouring Party at Sweetwater Brewing Co

On Sunday, January 17th, Sweewater Brewing has teamed up with Fox Bros. BBQ to come up with a smoked bacon porter, Pulled Porter. Over the course of three days, the crew from Fox Bros. smoked one ton of malt on their wood-burning Lang smokers, using nothing but hickory. Each batch of malt smoked for 5 hours at 250 degrees to get a nice toast and plenty of good smoke without burning it. To add that extra bit of oink, we tossed racks of bacon in the smoker to infuse the smoking malt. Come get a taste Sunday, January 17 from 2:30-4:30. Fox Bros. will have bbq there, Sailing To Denver will be jammin and the first 200 folks through the door will snag #properglassware. All for the normal steal of $10.
