Blacksmithing & Barbecue | Pizza, Drinks & Live Forging

Description

Blacksmithing & barbecue at Timber Creek Distillery started as a simple hammer-in and turned into something a lot better. On Saturday, May 23rd, we’re combining live blacksmithing, barbecue, wood-fired pizza, and drinks into a laid-back, all-day hangout on the farm.

The goal is simple: good food, good drinks, hot steel, and time to enjoy it.

Live Blacksmithing | 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM

The blacksmithing portion runs hammer-in style—open, active, and social. You’ll see experienced smiths working steel in real time, shaping hot metal the way it’s been done for centuries. If you’ve never watched forging up close, this is a rare chance to see sparks fly and tools at work. If you are a smith, you already understand why a blacksmithing barbecue at Timber Creek Distillery is worth showing up for.

We’re proud to host events like this as part of our ongoing focus on craft, hands-on work, and old-school skills. If you want more about the blacksmithing community itself, the Artist-Blacksmith’s Association of North America is a great resource:

Food & Drinks | 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

At 11:00, the food and drinks fire up.

For $40, it’s all you can eat, all you can drink:

• Barbecue

• Wood-fired pizza (as much as you want)

• Special pizza of the day: Barbecue Pizza

• Drinks flowing while the food’s hot

This is not a sit-down dinner and not a rushed service. Eat, wander, watch the blacksmithing, grab another slice, and settle in. The pacing is intentional—it’s meant to feel like a long Saturday with friends.

Why We’re Doing This

Timber Creek Distillery has always been about more than bottles. We’re a working farm, a production distillery, and a place where people come together over craft, food, and shared experiences. Events like this blacksmithing barbecue at Timber Creek Distillery fit that philosophy perfectly.
