There was a time, when people got together and drank a lot of whiskey at once together. That amazing time was called Beer, Bacon & Bourbon. We’ve yet to recreate such an event. (Though we have bigger and badder things on the menu.)

In case you don’t remember, the first post on our party hosted at Brown Barn Cafe was highlighted in our caramel bacon recipe.

We have to say a huge thanks to Brown Barn and Susquehanna Brewery Co again for their help with this event. It was our first, and certainly not the last. Both know great taste, Brown Barn, a BYOB establishment, and Susquehanna Brewery Co. a Pittston, Pa based brewery.

Now presenting…. Chef Theresa’s winning, Whiskey Bacon recipe of the night.
