Beards, brews and bacon will converge at the Austin Holiday Inn Austin Conference Center on Saturday.

The Holiday Inn will hold Brew, Beards & B.S., a craft beer tasting, a beard/mustache competition and a bacon tasting starting at 4 p.m.

Organizer Ben Ankeny, the Holiday Inn’s director of catering at the Holiday Inn, said the $25 event is growing after a successful first year. The craft beer and bacon-tasting will run from 4 to 6 p.m. Ankeny said they got good feedback and a good response from the breweries last year.

“The breweries loved it,” he said.

At the 2015 event, about 30 to 40 brews — mostly Minnesota beers — were available for sampling by the more than 130 people in attendance.

Awards and the beard contest will be from 6 to 8 p.m., followed by a performance by Minneapolis band 4onthefloor at 9 p.m. All festivities will be in the conference center of the Holiday Inn.

Along with awards for best beard and mustache, Ankeny plans to add more fun, goofy awards like best haircut and more.

Bacon was up for sale last year, but it will be included in the ticket price this year. This year, bacon will be included in the ticket price. Some food will also be available in the pre-function area outside the event center.
