Houston BBQ Throwdown 2018

The Houston Barbecue Festival and Saint Arnold Brewing Company is hosting the 4th annual Houston BBQ Throwdown featuring 14 of Houston's best barbecue restaurants competing to create the next great barbecue dish that represents Houston-style barbecue.

Each ticket includes samples from each of the barbecue competition entries as well as Saint Arnold beer.

Participating barbecue joints include (subject to change): Beaver's Westheimer (2017 Judge's Choice co-winner), Blood Bros. BBQ, Buck's Barbeque Co, El Burro & the Bull (2017 Judge's Choice co-winner), Feges BBQ, Harlem Road Texas BBQ, The Pit Room, Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue, Victorian's Barbecue, with more to come.

Much like Kansas City-style barbecue is associated with “burnt ends” and Memphis-style is known for pork ribs, Houston-style barbecue will become known for dishes that incorporate the many diverse culinary influences of this “creole” city.
