KEYSTONE’S 3RD ANNUAL BLUE RIBBON BACON TOUR
Can you smell it? It’s a lovely fragrance that lifts you from a night of sleep. The sizzle and pop heard from afar. All of it luring you away from where you are… straight to Keystone where their Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour is heating up for the masses to enjoy. An entire weekend of Bacon – OMG! I worry briefly about the extra padding this past winter brought me, but too bad, bacon is on my list of pleasures this weekend!
I started hearing about this great event during the later part of winter 2011. Tweets of pure deliciousness graced my page from @SkierGrrl chatting up the new affair. Keystone had partnered with a group that had developed America’s premier bacon festival and they were taking it higher together at Keystone Resort. This weekend the third annual Bacon Tour begins at Keystone Resort.
Along with bacon cuisine you’ll enjoy free live music from Hamilton Loomis, the Steeldrivers and Hell’s Belles. The Bacon Bloody Mary’s are always a hit and you need to try the cucumber vodka ice tea with your bacon cuisine! To quote the BRBT organizers “Much like the Crusaders revolutionized the lives of Europeans by introducing a large variety of spices from the East. The Blue Ribbon Bacon Tour travels to places like Colorado to transform the lives of bacon lovers by introducing a variety of bacons and bacon-inspired dishes from around the world. Of course, we like to do all this while tossing back a few cold beers.” Be there!
Bacon Showcase – The popular Bacon Showcase provides individuals with the opportunity to sample some of the nation’s best bacon brands and talk directly to brand reps. In previous years the following bacon brands have been showcased: Eden Farms, Tenderbelly, and Daily’s.
