A new Pittsburgh festival is bringing together two of our favorite things – wings and beer.
Hop Farm Brewing Company hosting the very first King of the Wing Festival on Sunday, August 30 at the brewery (5601 Butler Street), and tickets just went on sale today.
Festival attendees will be able to sample chicken wings from 15 local restaurants, try lots of different Hop Farm brews, and enjoy live music throughout the day. A panel of judges will be rating all of the wings, and determine the official winner – aka, the King of the Wing.
Presale tickets went online today, and cost $24.50 each (use the code WINGKING to access the presale). After presale tickets are sold out, the price goes up to $29.50 each, which includes all-you-can-eat wings, plus entertainment.
The festival is only open to 500 people, so get your tickets early.
