Bluegrass, BBQ & Brews brings smoked barbecue, craft beer, and live bluegrass together at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens in Charleston.
This is a ticketed tasting rather than a barbecue competition. The food is part of the event itself, giving guests a chance to sample barbecue and Southern sides while spending the afternoon among Magnolia's live oaks.
Barbecue Under the Oaks
Barbecue is one of the main reasons to come. The event is built around samples of smoked meats and sides rather than a cook-off or a collection of unrelated food vendors.
That makes the format simple for anyone coming primarily for the food: sample the barbecue, try the featured beers, and settle in for the music. The specific food partners and what they serve may change, so check Magnolia's current event information for the latest lineup.
Bluegrass, Brews, and Magnolia
The setting gives Bluegrass, BBQ & Brews a different feel from a typical food-and-beer festival. Magnolia hosts the event outdoors on its historic property along the Ashley River, with live bluegrass providing the soundtrack for the afternoon.
Craft beer tastings are included as part of the experience, along with the barbecue and music. Participating breweries, musicians, food partners, sample selections, and ticket rules can change, so Magnolia's event page is the best place to check current details before making plans.
Admission: $75
