History:

Coming up on the 11th year, BBQ, Blues & Brews on the Bay has grown to be one of The Mill’s most well-attended signature events. In 2012, our first year, we struggled to meet the minimum 15 team requirement to qualify to be a KCBS sanctioned event. Teams came from throughout the Pacific Northwest with most residing in Oregon and Southern Washington. Over the years, we’ve had teams come from as far as Canada, Texas, Idaho and more.

The beer scene has also grown. In 2012 we featured eight breweries and now feature over 20 breweries who have helped raise over $50,000 for local non-profits through the beer sample garden.
