“The Pork & Brew has quickly become one of New Mexico’s favorite annual events,” said Michael Cerletti, Secretary of the New Mexico Tourism Department, “entertaining both family and friends year after year. The folks in Rio Rancho are to be commended for their efforts in creating such a popular attraction.”

With more than 30,000 in attendance last year, Pork & Brew has become one of the largest two-day events in New Mexico. Winners go on to participate in Kansas City, KS at the Nationals.
