HOW DO YOU LOVE CHILI?
THE BREW HOUSE CHILI COOK OFF (April 13, 2pm drop-off, 3pm judging)
We found out in 2012 that we had a long standing tradition to uphold. About 30 years of chili cook offs had been held at the Brew House, so we wanted to update it but keep the idea.
​
So we added hand made bowls and increased the prize money. Lastly, we added bribes. Yes, bribes. Non-monetary bribes to the judge are essential to win.
So there are a couple ways to participate.
​
First way, you can make some chili. Bring your chili in a crock pot to the chili room by 3pm. Don't forget a bribe for the judges (there are three meat judges, two vegetarian), as the creativity and appropriateness of the bribe is a significant part of your score. You get a free hand thrown bowl and hopefully you win $200 for the meat winner or $100 for the vegetarian winner
​
The second way, pay $10 and get a handmade bowl to help yourself to chili! We make 100 bowls, so a few people have been known to buy extra bowls!
​
The third option is to judge! We need 3 meat judges, two vegetarian judges every year. To qualify, you should be able to handle a lot of spices and probably need to be able to eat a massive quantity of food. Tolerance for beans is a must.
