It's pig roast season which combines a few of our favorite things: pigs; fire; cooking; beer; and eating. Heary and 5 Rabbit Cerveceria are teaming up for a special pig roast Aug. 1 that brings all of that together with a fabulousness we lack.

For $45, Hearty will roast a pig while serving appetizers and summer-appropriate sides, while 5 Rabbit will be pouring a wide selection of their beers.
