Food trucks and vendors filled the property at JDub's Brewing Company and Tap Room Saturday, Sept. 17 for the monthly Food Truck Rally.
Craft beer fans and barbecue connoisseurs were one in the same Saturday evening at the JDub’s Brewing Company Competition Food Truck Rally.
More than 1,000 attendees enjoyed the outdoor event at the JDub's Brewing taproom with 10 vendors and food trucks. The monthly food truck event included a barbecue competition to sweeten the deal. The four competitors faced with the challenge were Mother Truckin Good, World Bites Kafe, Triple B BBQ and Holloway BBQ.
The challenge was to infuse one of the four flagship JDub’s Brewing Company beers. Competitors had to choose between UpTop!, an India pale ale, Poolside, a German-style Kolsch beer, Passion Wheat, an American wheat ale with passion fruit and mango, and NITRO Bell Cow, a milk chocolate porter.
“Between the bitterness and hoppiness of the IPA and the chocolate in the porter they have a lot to work with,” said Jillian Ross, JDub’s Brewing Company Taproom Manager and event organizer. “They got really creative.”
The four competitors faced with the challenge were Mother Truckin Good, World Bits Kafe, Triple B BBQ and Holloway BBQ.
Which brew to choose was a simple decision for the men behind the Holloway BBQ entry. Pals Bobby Holloway and Rick Gargett concocted a mango chipotle barbecue sauce using the Passion Wheat to pair with marinated chicken sandwiches. Holloway BBQ marinated the chicken as well in the brew.
“We like to have fun with it,” Holloway said. “I knew which one we would use right when I tasted it.”
As attendees sampled ribs, brisket and pulled pork they were asked to vote for their favorite beer-infused dish.
Mother Truckin Good was announced as the winner. The winning recipe included ribs, brisket and pulled pork that was brined with the Up Top! India pale ale. A barbecue sauce infused with the Passion Wheat, an American wheat ale, added hints of passion fruit and mango.
