Chili, Booze & Brews

Chili, Booze & Brews is an annual friendly food and beverage competition featuring Colorado craft breweries, small-batch distillers, and chefs from local Denver restaurants all coming together to “Bring the Heat and Bring the Hope” in support of children and young adults with cancer. Cancer doesn’t stop in the face of COVID-19, so neither do we.

Instead of taking place on one night, this year, Chili, Booze & Brews will allow passport holders to sample and rate chili, beer, and spirits during the entire month of November. Mobile passports will list participating restaurants, breweries, and distilleries and guests will have the option to dine-in or take-out. Incentives for sampling will include access to additional Chili, Booze & Brews activities and prizes

Formerly known as Zach’s Chili Challenge, this event is held in honor of MAF Ambassador, Zach Canaday. Zach’s aunt, Michelle Giancamilli, created the initial event to acknowledge his strength and resilience, and to help in the effort to put an end to childhood cancer.

We continue to be overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from the community for this event that raises money and awareness to support kids with cancer.

Chili, Booze, and Brews brings out some of Colorado’s best restaurants, breweries, and distilleries each year, including:
