Buckeye Beer Bash, Bacon & Cheese, and Taste of the Sea had been around for two years each and the BBQ & Grilling Festival debuted last year, spokesman Zachary Cobb told the Journal-News.

“To pump up the flavors and the fun we decided to join them together to make one giant summer extravaganza,” Cobb said.

Admission to the new event includes unlimited food samples. VIP ticket purchases will include access to a craft beer garden and a commemorative pint glass, five sample tickets and five pint tickets. Additional drink tickets will be available for purchase. Prices start at $6 for an individual ticket and range up to $30 for a VIP ticket.
