The Makers of LLOYD’S® Barbeque Products and Pig Beach Showcase their Products with Two-Time World Barbeque Champions at the 30th Anniversary of the Giant BBQ Battle

Tags

Austin, Minn.

The makers of LLOYD’S® barbeque products, the No. 1 selling heat-and-eat barbeque in America, are attending the 30th anniversary of the Giant National Capital Barbeque Battle on Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26, with two-time Memphis in May world champions Matt Abdoo and Shane McBride.

“Barbeque is all about bringing families and friends together,” said Rhonda Ihrke, LLOYD’s® barbeque brand manager. “Our hardwood smoked pulled meats made with Pig Beach Mustard BBQ Sauce are the perfect solution to hectic weeknights or family backyard barbeques.”

At the event in Washington D.C., visit the LLOYD’S® barbeque brand booth in BBQ Restaurant Row and sample our delicious Pecanwood Smoked Pulled Pork and Hickory Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken, both made with Pig Beach Mustard BBQ Sauce. If you are around for the weekend, you will not want to miss Matt Abdoo and Shane McBride demo our products at the Giant Fresh Ideas Stage on Sunday.

“The LLOYD’S® brand offers a meat that is moist, tender, flavorful and perfectly smoked and is arguably better than a lot of barbeques that I’ve eaten at restaurants,” said Matt Abdoo, partner of Pig Beach. “To pair our sauce with it is an incredible honor of the Pig Beach BBQ Restaurants.”

“We are really excited and passionate about what’s in that package going out to consumers,” added Shane McBride, partner of Pig Beach. “How cool is it that people can try our award-winning Pig Beach BBQ Sauce at Giant Foods and select retailers nationwide?”

Available in a 16-ounce easy-to-peel entrée tray, LLOYD’S® Pecanwood Smoked Pulled Pork and Hickory Hardwood Smoked Pulled Chicken with Pig Beach Mustard BBQ Sauce (MSRP $5.99-7.99) can be found at select retailers nationwide.
