Goldsboro, NC has been developing a burgeoning BBQ and Craft Beer scene over the past few years, and it’s one that has steadily been drawing attention, and visitors. Adding to the delicious Eastern NC Style BBQ at the legendary landmark that is Grady’s, are some more experimental styles of BBQ – Adam’s Roadside BBQ does a mouth-wateringly good brisket sandwich with a side of creamy mac n cheese for example. Add on top of this the likes of McCall’s, famous for their Calabash style seafood, who are celebrating their 30th birthday this year – and you have the foundations of a BBQ nirvana.
Craft beer has always been the perfect accompaniment to BBQ, and Goldsboro takes this partnership very seriously. A thriving craft beer community has been building up in Goldsboro, where there is always an exciting variety of locally brewed beers to try, all with their own quirks and personalities. Brew Works, Downtown Goldsboro, has a vintage arcade room – and who doesn’t love a bit of friendly competition once the drinks are in?! Well Travelled Beer hosts Fly Dogs Friday in collaboration with some delicious food trucks, and Brewmasters holds a Saturday morning yoga class, followed by their delicious brunch fare.
So it makes sense then that Goldsboro is launching a series of BBQ Trail Tasting Tours and Brews and ‘Cues Tours this fall. Giving visitors the opportunity to experience the best Goldsboro has to offer, in an easy guided tour format, while allowing them to eat, drink and dive into the world of both Brews and ‘Cues. In addition to having your fill of pig and pints, the BBQ Trail Tasting tours will allow guests to see how the meat is cooked in the famous fire-pits, meet the men and women responsible for the tasty results, and learn their secrets. While those who prefer a craft beer should try the Brews & ‘Cues tour, where you will get to meet the founders and brewers of R & R Brewery and Brew Works, pick their brains and taste flights of their finest brews.
Tours are limited and sell out quickly, so to book your spot, learn more, and check out the Fall schedule visit www.visitgoldsboronc.com/tours. See you in Goldsboro soon!
