🎉🔥 Check Presentation Celebration!🔥🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that thanks to YOUR support, the 3rd Annual Bi***es of BBQ Throwdown raised an incredible $6,400 fo the Family Crisis Center of Northwest Mississippi!💰❤️

Today, we had the honor of presenting the check to this amazing organization — and it means more than words can say. The Family Crisis Center provides life-changing support for individuals and families affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse. They offer counseling, legal advocacy, and so much more to help people find safety, healing, and hope.

This donation helps keep those vital services available and free to those who need them most. Every Rib turned in, every raffle ticket, every ounce of love you brought to the event made this possible. 🙌

THANK YOU to everyone who showed up, showed out, and made a real difference. Let’s keep the smoke rolling and the support growing — we’ll see you next year for ***esofBBQ2026! 💪🔥🍖

🔥 When we fire up for a high-class Live Fire Dinner for 80 guests, there’s only one fuel we trust — It’s our go-to because it’s better burning, clean burning, and always consistent.

And it’s the perfect match for our custom fire table, Black Betty, built by the fabulous fellas at in Wichita Falls, Texas. 💪🔥

🔥 Before the Char was an AMAZING hit at Hard Truth, as an incredible night of fire, flavor, and whiskey! 🔥

It was a SOLD OUT five-course dinner + whiskey pairing and was a labor of love — and while the heat and rain threw us some curveballs, our team absolutely crushed it. Timing, flavor, and heart… we brought it all.

Here’s a taste of what went down:
🥣 Course 1: Campfire Arancini with a Hard Truth Vodka cream sauce
🌽 Course 2: Crispy pork belly tostada with corn salad & pickled onions
🦞 Course 3: Seared sea scallops, pineapple brown butter, and mimosa slaw
🥩 Course 4: Pork loin over horseradish garlic mashed potatoes with a Demi glaze
🍨 Course 5: The crowd favorite — Hard Truth Peanut Butter Whiskey ice cream with peanut brittle bourbon whipped cream and peanut brittle. 😍

We’re beyond proud of our team for delivering such a memorable meal under pressure — and so thankful to everyone who came, tasted, and raved.

Shout out to Natural Tableware for their awesome plateware and utensils. World Food Championships for lining us up with this opportunity. And to Hard Truth Whiskey for giving us the honor of feeding your guests and staff!

Let’s just say… the fire has officially been lit 🔥💪

🔥 Charred Truth Recap – Nashville, IN🔥

What. A. Day. We had an incredible time at the Charred Truth Live Fire Competition at Hard Truth Whiskey in beautiful Nashville, Indiana! 🌿🔥

We handed out nearly 200 samples of our Colorado-style chili verde for the People’s Choice contest and loved every second of meeting so many amazing folks who came out to taste, cheer, and soak in the smoky goodness. 🌶️❤️

For the competition, we went all in on the Yoder Smokers Santa Maria grill and turned in a dish that screamed summer:
🍑 Grilled Peach & Pineapple Summer Burrata Salad
🐖 Blueberry-Glazed Pork Loin

Yes, it was hot — but the vibes were 🔥🔥🔥.

And the hospitality from everyone at Hard Truth Distilling was absolutely top-notch. They went above and beyond to make this event a true destination contest, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of it. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Congratulations to the winners!
Peter Arimendez 1st Place.
Craig Baker 2nd Place
Al Lino 3rd Place

Thank you to World Food Championships for running an amazing event.
