Beer And Bacon Come Together In Eastern Iowa For Annual Event
Why are people flocking to this Iowa town this weekend? It's because of an event that's been gaining popularity since it began 5 years ago and people love attending because it brings together two things we all love: bacon and beer.
The annual Bacon & Brew Fest in Clinton, IA returns to the banks of the Mississippi River this weekend. You have plenty of time to get tickets and make plans with a babysitter to enjoy beer samples and bacon-inspired bites.
