2025 Breckenridge Hogfest Schedule

The Breckenridge Hogfest covers three days of events, each with a unique ambience and energy. 

Friday | VIP Bourbon Pairing Dinner

The opening dinner layers bacon-forward dishes with barrel picks from Buffalo Trace’s antique collection. This event always attracts a lot of folks looking to combine the best bourbon with some of the most delectable pork dishes in the state. 

Pro tip for cannabis pairing: Pair the tropical–custard notes of a strain like Day Fruit flower by Leiffa to echo bourbon’s vanilla while cutting through salty fat—a textbook lesson in weed and bourbon synergy. 

Saturday | Grand Tasting 

The Grand Tasting brings together an awesome collection of bourbon and pork, with everything from pulled-pork sliders to savory/sweet bacon-topped custard. 

Pro tip for cannabis pairing:  Counter smoky pork sliders and peppery rye with Papaya Zlurpee from Vera, a funky hybrid whose savory terpene profile easily complements aged cheddar melting over bacon. These balanced weed pairings for bourbon and bacon keep taste buds alert without tipping you into couch-lock before the headlining band. 

Sunday | Brunch

Wrap the weekend with smoky-sweet maple bacon or a similar dish for brunch at the event. The Sunday Brunch at Hogfest is always a little more laid-back than Friday and Saturday events, but the unique dishes and bourbon picks are never in short supply. 

Pro tip for cannabis pairing: Brighten the brunch plate with Pink Lemonade from Antero, whose citrus zest and floral kiss refresh the palate and lift energy for a final stroll along the Riverwalk. If you prefer deeper relaxation, RYLU from Big Buds (710 Labs) offers a good option to pair with bourbons poured tableside.
