Description
Sockeye Brewing Chili Cook-Off
February 21 | 12:00–4:00 PM
Join us for an afternoon of bold flavors, friendly competition, and community impact at the Sockeye Brewing Chili Cook-Off.
Local chili cooks will face off using Sockeye’s year-round beers as ingredients, creating unique and flavorful chili recipes. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample every chili, enjoy Sockeye beers, and take part in the excitement from start to finish.
The event features four awards, decided by a panel of guest judges, along with plenty of bragging rights. Whether you’re competing or tasting, you’ll have a front-row seat as the winners are announced during the event.
Best of all, the Chili Cook-Off supports Family Advocates, helping provide critical services to children and families in our community.
Come hungry, stay awhile, and enjoy a fun-filled afternoon celebrating great chili, great beer, and a great cause. 🍺🔥

Well organized, the sockeye staff were Super nice to myself & my +1. The Chili was the Bomb! Olivia's singing with her guitar was a an added touch to the whole experience.

Chili was great but need more variety of low, medium and hot
Maybe do it later in the season so can be more of an outside event
Loved all the excitement around the chili participants
Trophies were awesome
Overall fun time!

Fantastic event, we had a great time enjoying the food, music, and pours. My only suggestion is to add a few more stand-up tables to make it easier to sample the chili if you are holding a drink as well.

We had a great time! So many good chilis to try, we definitely were extremely full by the end. Loved it being in the warehouse and all the chili competitors were so nice. Not a bad chili was had the whole day.
