Mess Hall
It's Back! Our interactive butchering demo, paired with local craft beer and dinner from Sloppy Mama's Barbeque.
Really want to pig out? Get the Meat Lover or VIP ticket to take home prime cuts of meat after the class.
What to expect:
Gather at Mess Hall to watch Scott Weiss, a skilled butcher from Via Umbria, break down a beautiful free range, heritage pig, sourced directly from Spring House Farm, in Lovettsville Va. During the interactive 3 hour event, Scott will cover many butchering techniques and skills while you indulge in local craft beers and BBQ. Yes, you can don gloves and participate to an extent (but you cannot wield the blades!). We will also discuss various types of charcuterie preparations, and unlimited Q&A.
Joe Neuman, pitmaster and founder of Sloppy Mama's Barbeque will provide a dinner of smoked pork and hand-made sausages, plus sides. He will stay to talk about additional preparation methods over rounds local craft beers.
VIP and Meat Lover packages include prime cuts of meat to take home after the class.
