BBQ Austin University features TWO fun and interactive sessions including: Happy Hour Friday and Smokin’ Saturday! These sessions have limited capacity to allow for an intimate, hands-on learning experience.
Happy Hour Friday
Friday March 3, 2023, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
BBQ U Happy Hour Friday is a fun evening session that will showcase drinks and the craft of sausage making. This is an exclusive opportunity to go behind the scenes on making cocktails with John Zamora of Tito’s Vodka. Then, Bill Dumas, the “Sausage Sensei” from Brotherton’s Black Iron BBQ will demonstrate the entire process of sausage making. Since sausage is considered part of the Texas Trinity, this is a great introduction to the art of sausage making!
