The brainchild of barbecue maestro Aaron Franklin, Mohawk owner James Moody, and Feast Portland's Mike Thelin, this Austintatious gatherum of glory blends world-class culinary talent and live music into an extra-long, chef-driven weekend that celebrates fire, food, music, and camaraderie. "Come hungry, thirsty, and bring your dancin' boots." Boy howdy – they ain't kidding: See here for more!
This beery extravagance benefits Divine Canines. Buy a glass at Blue Owl Brewery and use it for free pints at 25 breweries all over town, for the entire month of May. We mean, like, Black Star Co-op, Celis, NXNW, Southern Heights, Real Ale, St. Elmo, Thirsty Planet, and a whole pantheon of others.
Mind you, it's the rosé and not the chickens that are being released here. Although you might say that the yardbirds cooked up by Mattie's fine kitchen – to be accompanied by Butaud’s 2017 vintage of Grenache Noir, Piquepoul Blanc, and Rolle, all sourced from the One Elm Vineyard – you might say those delicious chickens are being released to your tastebuds.
