If it's been since the 4th of July weekend that you've fired up the grill and loaded it up with red meat, hot dogs and brats; tossed out bowl after bowl of potato salad, coleslaw and pasta salad then you're more than likely ready to throw down some serious eats at our annual Brews and BBQ 2016, presented by Parson's Collision Centers.
