Jimmy had informed us about a very large BBQ festival near his hometown in Indiana while he was still living in Michigan. But we were too late for it last year.

It has probably been a year now since I started taking my blog a little more seriously and I can trace that moment back to last year’s Cask Fest. And so it’s about that time of year when another Cask Fest rolled around, this past Saturday on May 4th in fact! This year was even bigger and better than the last.

Well I haven’t had beef rib before, but as ribs and meat goes, it was bliss. Take a look at all the pictures and stop by Lockhart’s BBQ in Royal Oak to whet your appetite.
