From Jake at United Package Liquors on County Line RdMONK Chili Bowl 2011!Time: Saturday, November 12 · 5:00pm – 8:00pm Location: Big Car Gallery in Fountain Square Think ahead to November. What comes to mind? There's a chill in the air, football on the tv... Now think of food. Chili. Beer. That's just about all you need.
So let's combine them. The Chili Bowl is a club-sponsored competition to produce both, a beer with chili [peppers] in it and a chili made with THAT beer. The results will be presented at Big Car Gallery on November 12. The event will have limited tickets available to the public for $10...proceeds directly support future MONK activities, tastings and products. If this sounds like you, head over theMONK facebook event page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=227225227329688) and post a comment so the organizers will know you would like to purchase tickets – exact method of public ticketing is still TBD.

ReplyDeleteWhere can we find the cavalier distributions beer?
ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what you are asking.
Anonymous - You should probably write the Brewers Association a letter detailing your concern. I think they would be very interested in your opinion.
ReplyDeleteKathleen - Hit up @CavalierBeerIN on twitter. He'll help you find liquor stores or bars carrying a specific brand you're looking for.
anonymous, go fuck yourself.
ReplyDeleteMy comments reflect only my opinion and not that of the entire group.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rodney.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mike said
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats to the winners
I can understand someone not liking a particular brewery's beer. But if you're going to criticize a brewery, be constructive about it. Don't be a jerk.
