We are amping up the heat at our Elgin taproom this summer with our Hot Mess Fest! Events include:

12pm-3pm: Chili Cook Off. FREE to enter! Judges will be picking winners for three categories: Spiciest, Most Unique, and Best All Around. To be a judge, all you have to do is pay $5 at the bar when you get here! If you enter in the contest, you get to judge for free.

12pm-4pm: Local market with local salsa, hot sauce, and BBQ vendors!

3pm: Hot Pepper Eating Contest. For $5, see if you can be the first one to consume 7 Jalapeno peppers. The winner of the competition will receive a $50 Circle Brewing gift card.

6pm: "Hot Ones" Challenge. For $30, you can join us as we test 10 of the spiciest sauces and interview a special guest while we eat! Wings are provided by Smash Daddies.
