Breckenridge Hogfest Bacon & Bourbon
Who Doesn’t Love Bacon, Bourbon, Breckenridge & Music?
These indulgences come together for Breckenridge Hogfest – Bacon & Bourbon Festival. Explore allocated and hard to find bourbons with Master Distillers displaying premium whiskeys, single malt scotches and barrel-aged spirits. Meat connoisseurs will be able to taste their way through a spectrum of delicious pork dishes from local food vendors. We want to speak to palates of all distinctions and our golden rule will be to feature the best of the best to the brownest of the brown. All while taking in the views of the majestic mountains of Breckenridge and enjoying Live Music.
Ticket options are available for just Saturday or the entire weekend. Looking to sample Pappy Van Winkle and William Larue? Those and other rare bourbons will be available for sample for VIP ticket holders.

Grass It Up brings a headline performance and has warmed up the stage for classic performers like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Oak Ridge Boys, and bluegrass bands including Crooked Still, Front Country, the Ragin’ Cajun Doug Kershaw and the Yonder Mountain String Band.

Sazerac Distillery
Before there was a company, there was a drink. Antoine Peychaud, a Creole immigrant, operated a pharmacy on the French Quarter's Royal Street in 1838. With his background as an apothecary, he was a natural mixologist. His friends would gather for late-night revelry at his pharmacy. Peychaud would mix brandy, absinthe and a dash of his secret bitters for his guests. Later this quaff would come to be known as the Sazerac.
Buffalo Trace Distillery
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon
Most food festivals can be fun and memorable. But what sets ours above others is that we care about animal welfare and the quality of bacon that YOU are consuming. Believe it or not, this standard makes us bold in our industry.
