Calling all chili cooks and chili eaters!

Hey All,

This Sunday marks the annual Chili Cook Off! Bring in your secret recipe chili for a chance to win the glorious “Best Chili 2010 Award”. You could also win a $200, $100, or $50 gift card for your efforts. All we ask is that you bring 5-6 quarts of chili by 11:30 am, judging and chili eating begins at 2:30. You can get a pint of beer and an “endless bowl of chili” for just $7.

We still have a few places left, so give a call and sign up today. A great time is always had by all, so swing in and eat chili, drink beer, and watch football. Those big Vikings Superbowl party plans were shattered, let us host your day!

Sorry, you need to provide your own Tums-
Mike

Dave dropped us a line to share the line-up of beers Fitger’s Brewhouse is bringing to Winterfest:

Bourbon Barrel Aged Edmund Imperial Stout (Cherry Version)
This robust stout comes in about 11.5% alc. We brew a triple strength stout focusing on dark malt flavors then balance with assertive hopping. We ferment out and begin aging. After 4 months we rack the young stout into Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels. We let the beer sit around 8 months. We then split the batch into two parts. 1 part is served the other is racked onto Door County Cherries. This is what you are enjoying.

Undertow Pilsener
Our German style pils. 4.9% alc. All German malt and hallertauer and spalt hops. Lagered for 10 weeks after a 16 day fermentation. Clean malt notes with balanced hopping.

El Diablo
Belgian style strong golden ale. 9%. Pils malt and candi sugar. High fermentation temps lots of ester character from the yeast. A very approachable strong ale.

Starfire North Shore Style Pale
Duluth’s idea of what a Pale Ale should taste like. 6% alc. Pale malt and German Vienna malt. Cascade and Amarillo hops. Our number one flagship at the pub.

Blitzens Blueberry Porter
Chocolate Porter at 6.2% Aged on fresh Bayfield Blueberries. Very much a chocolate blueberry surprise.
