Bring Your Own Barbecue Swap Meet at Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery

Enjoy of new releases and Hard Seltzer with Pineapple and Coconut. If you cannot make it, order beer online for shipping in Virginia or for pick up at the brewery.

There is something special about sharing great food, swapping recipes, and spending an afternoon with neighbors. This summer, we invite our community to bring that tradition to the farm.

What Is a Barbecue Swap Meet?

Think of it as a community potluck for barbecue lovers.

Bring your own homemade barbecue—brisket, pulled pork, ribs, smoked chicken, sausages, baked beans, mac and cheese, cornbread, sauces, or your favorite side dish—and share small samples with others who have brought something to contribute. It’s a chance to taste different styles, exchange recipes, and meet fellow backyard pitmasters.

Whether you smoke over hickory, oak, applewood, charcoal, or pellets, every barbecue has a story.

Important Information

Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery is not preparing, serving, selling, or providing any of the food at this gathering.

This is an informal community event where guests voluntarily bring and share food with one another. Participation is entirely optional, and attendees should use their own judgment when choosing whether to sample food prepared by others.

The brewery’s role is simply to provide a beautiful gathering place where friends and neighbors can connect while enjoying our farm and craft beer.

What to Bring

• Your favorite homemade barbecue or smoked dish
• A serving utensil
• A card with the name of your dish and any common allergens (optional, but appreciated)
• Your favorite barbecue recipe if you’d like to trade ideas

Enjoy the Farm

While you’re here, relax with a Lickinghole Creek craft beer, explore the property, enjoy the open space, and spend the afternoon with family and friends.

Some of the best conversations happen around good food and good beer.

We look forward to seeing what everyone brings to the table.
