This summer, barbecue fans can take in The Cheerwine Carolinas ‘Cue Tour, an 870-mile tour with restaurants offering items like Cheerwine-infused burnt ends and a bourbon and Cheerwine slushie. The company’s journey includes over a dozen stops from North and South Carolina – including visits to Melvin’s BBQ, Poogan’s Smokehouse, and Swig & Swine in Charleston.
“Cheerwine and barbecue together are known as the ‘southern handshake,'” said Joy Ritchie Harper, vice-president of marketing for Cheerwine and fifth-generation founding family member. “In addition to being a refreshing sidekick to a plate of pulled pork, Cheerwine's sweet cherry notes make it a perfect ingredient. Amatuer cooks to seasoned pit masters have incorporated Cheerwine into their smoked meats, barbecue sauces, sides and drinks for generations.”
Cheerwine is also giving three fans the chance to win free barbecue at all 13 restaurants (one of many weekly prizes in this year's “Uniquely Southern Summer Contest”).
Here’s a look at the tour schedule:
