Bourbon. Beer. Rock.

IDLE HANDS AND BILLY HURRICANES TEAMED UP TO PUT OUR BALLS IN YOUR MOUTH AT THE NY BEER, BOURBON & BBQFESTIVAL.

We at Idle Hands, teamed up with those guys upstairs at Billy Hurricane’s to host a booth at the 2nd annual Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival in New York City. If you were one of the thousands in attendance, hopefully you got to taste our brand new Beer, Bourbon & Bacon, deep-fried BBQ Meatballs. They’re all beef balls, made in a hot BBQ sauce with bacon and right before they are served, they take a little bath in Butternuts Porkslap Ale and Maker’s Mark Kentucky Bourbon. They’re hot, spicy, juicy and as people lucky enough to get one, damn tasty!!!

Hundreds of people got a chance to win a 25 person happy hour at the bar by participating in a contest. Challengers faced off against each other in shotgun contests where the first to finish was claimed a victor. The shothgun contests were judge by none other, than our in house Luchador, EL KAHUNA MAS GRANDE.

The Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival meatballs are now available at both Idle Hands & Billy Hurricane’s so if you loved our balls, or missed out on our balls, you can now put our balls in your mouth whenever you want! Check out this “behind the balls” video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga3qdgfholg The social networked savvy Untappd users were able to unlock a limited release badge by checkin into a Porkslap Ale while at the event.
