Event Overview

Simply put, everything is better with bacon. Bacon has all the best things going for it - quick cooking, great texture, smoky, salty and slightly sweet. If you’re a certified or self-proclaimed bacon-a-holic, this experience is for you.


In this class, Chris "Mac" McKenzie of Mac's Local Buys will be teaching this very popular Bacon and Beer class and you will learn the differences between different types of bacon, the chef’s secret for bacon making, cooking and enjoy a bacon banquet with some great local craft beers.


Mac will show you how to turn pork belly into the most delicious bacon you have ever tasted. Learn about the curing and smoking process, taste amazing samples, pick the brains of this local bacon lover and enjoy a night at Mac's Local Buys in Dogtown.

Mac's Local Buys

Top rated icon TOP RATED

Mac's Local Buys is a small family owned business. We came about simply from our own desire to eat healthy foods and our passion to support local farmers and producers. At our core, we are a local food aggregator with an emphasis on whole animal buys. Mac's Local Buys makes purchasing local, premium proteins for your family affordable. We organize and coordinate whole animal buys for groups of people. This not only provides a good variety of cuts/items in each share and the best price, it also happens to be what is best for the environment, the farmer and end user. In the end Mac's Local Buys, is just what is was in the beginning - a group of folks, working together with a common purpose, to eat healthier foods, while supporting our local community.

    This is a really casual class focused mostly on how to cure bacon. So if you don't care about the process, it might not be for you. haha. He also shared the differences between how people take care of animals before slaughter and how it impacts the food you eat. He took it so far as a test taste between three kinds of bacon you can purchase and you can really tell a difference! Go early and get a burger and riplet fries and you won't be disappointed!
