The Sausage Kings of Austin 2017

There are so many cool food events that Austin can host on any given night. Last Thursday, Amber and I attended the 2nd Annual The Sausage Kings of Austin put on 365 Things Austin at St Elmo Brewing Company. We had a good time and enjoyed some tasty brews and bites. My photo recap of the event:

Dampf- Hefeweizen-style beer. One of my new favorite brews

Salt and Time - Beer battered kielbasa

Frank - Angus stout boudin balls with pimento beer cheese

Easy Tiger - Green chili, Chico pale ale-smoked pork sausage with cheddar & bacon

Banger's - "Smoaked" sausage : Lockhart-style BBQ beef sausage smoked with post oak

Banger's : Sausage with baked beans & honey lime slaw

Leroy & Lewis : Beef & broccoli boudin and arroz con pollo

Micklethwait : Carl Kölsch beer brat with gouda cheese

Micklethwait : Carl Kölsch beer brat with gouda cheese

Soursop : Northern Thai grilled pork sausage with mustard, aioli, relish & onions

La Barbecue : Chipotle sausage

I was not surprised that so many BBQ joints were represented at this event. Evan Leroy (formerly of Freedmen's) is opening his BBQ truck, Leroy & Lewis, next month so that is exciting news. Micklethwait took home third place, and La Barbecue won it all. Soursop finished in second place.

Until next time, happy smoking...
