Treat Mom to theBeer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival! Here’s how it works: get yourself a ticket and you get a souvenir tasting glass, use that glass to sample as many of the the 40+ types of bourbon and the 60+ types of beer on tap, then get a hot plate of freshBBQ, all while enjoying some live bluegrass and blues!If you want to learn a little something while you’re at it, they also have lots of tasting seminars with some of the best master distillers, brewmasters, and pit masters of the deep south.
