Pig Roast
2026-06-06
It’s the 3rd Annual Pig Roast, one of our favorite North Shore traditions. We’re teaming up with Baptism River Barbecue Co and Scotty’s Whole Hog Barbecue to serve up slow-smoked goodness full of flavor, smoke, and a little bit of mess.
Watch the whole hog go low and slow over wood fire until it’s tender and juicy, made by people who take their pitmaster skills seriously, so you don’t have to.
This year’s pig is being raised locally by Josh and Ali at Yker Acres, and the menu will also feature Yker Acres brats and hot dogs, along with classic sides including coleslaw and potato chips. Food service begins at 12:00 PM
We’ll be releasing a special taproom-only Wheat Ale brewed in collaboration with Baptism River Barbecue Co, featuring green apples smoked in-house by their team. It’s smoky, fresh, and made to sip alongside all that barbecue.
Live tunes all day from Nate Weiler, Junkyard Mule, and Thor Leseman.
