The ABA was formed in 2006 to oversee the Alabama Governor’s Cup, which is awarded to the professional barbecue teams with the highest overall points in their top five contests on the Alabama Barbecue Trail, which consists of sanctioned contests throughout the state. For a schedule and links to the contests click here. We will also be promoting other BBQ contests such as backyard and ribs-only cookoffs as part of the Alabama BBQ Trail. The ABA will promote all of the these contests nationally at other professional barbecue contests to attract tourism to the state and to each of the host cities.
We are happy to announce that the Alabama BBQ Association is now offering an individual membership to the organization! For the fee of $25, individuals may now become members. In return, you will receive a membership document, a decal, and that good feeling that you are helping to promote bbq in the State of Alabama. Please consider joining with us!
