“We love smoking meat and putting smiles on people’s faces,” said Brian Wahby, owner and CEO of Eximius Productions, which produces Q BBQ Fest. “We launched Q BBQ Fest in 2015, and our first expansion market was the Mile High City. We knew we’d build something special in the Capital of Colorado. Thanks to the folks at the City of Denver and our partners at Headline, we're bringing BBQ flavor and flare from across the country back to Denver, and we can’t wait for Denver to taste the BBQ we’re bringing.”
