National Brisket Day

Sunday, May 28 | 1pm | Gate City Brewing

Nothing brings a community together quite like brisket. On National Brisket Day (and how amazing that we live in a country where National Brisket Day is a thing!) join Carne250 and Gate City Brewing for Texicana barbecue and some good ol’ Georgia craft beer.

There will be a limited number of whole briskets available to go, weighing in at around 7 lbs. and enough to feed 12-16 people. Whole briskets come with a brewery tour and a complimentary 6-pack. On-premise tickets will get you a delicious brisket sandwich: a 1/2 lb. of sliced barbecue brisket with ancho-slaw, pickled jalapeños, and barbecue sauce on a Brioche bun, as well as six 6 oz. tastes of Gate City beers.

On-premise tickets go for $27 and the Whole Brisket tickets are $125. Buy yours online.
